Including filter system and high-performance cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene filter.
cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter drinking water when certain industrial solvents or degreasers break down and migrate into groundwater. Because it can move with subsurface water, it may travel away from the original source and remain in the environment for long periods. At the concentrations most homeowners encounter, it usually has no obvious taste or smell, so local testing is the only reliable way to detect it. If your Felkel water test shows elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene (also searched as cis-1,2-dichloroethene or cis-dichloroethylene), taking steps to lower levels throughout the home is a sensible precaution.
Contaminants in your water can affect much more than just the glass you drink from — cooking, bathing, and laundry use the same supply. Treating water at the point it enters a Felkel home means every faucet, shower and appliance benefits, and it reduces the chance of VOCs like cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene moving through pipes and machines. A whole-house strategy gives consistent protection across daily tasks so you aren’t relying on a single filtered tap or pitcher for safety.
For treating cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene in a whole-house system, an activated carbon single-filter is the most effective simple option. Carbon media adsorbs many organic compounds as water flows through, which makes it well suited for VOC reduction. When the tank is correctly sized, the water spends enough time in contact with the carbon to remove a substantial portion of this type of contaminant before it reaches your plumbing. Installed out of sight, this solution works automatically to protect kitchen, bathroom and laundry water in Felkel homes.
A whole-house carbon filter is mounted on the main supply line so incoming water is treated before it splits to fixtures and appliances. Because removal depends on factors like flow rate, carbon volume, and your water chemistry, proper sizing and maintenance are essential to reliably reduce cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene. Carbon media does eventually become exhausted and must be replaced on a schedule based on usage. Mr. Pure Water in Felkel can assess your home, recommend the right whole-house carbon system, and arrange follow-up testing to verify performance if you’d like.
