Including filter system and high-performance cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene filter.
Cis-1,2-dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can appear in groundwater when certain industrial solvents or degreasers break down and migrate from their source. Because it dissolves into groundwater, it can move beyond the original contamination site and remain present for long periods, making it something homeowners often only discover through testing. At common concentrations it usually has no obvious taste or odor, so if your Foley water test shows elevated cis-1,2-dichloroethylene, it’s sensible to consider steps that reduce exposure across the home.
What you use water for in Foley — cooking, bathing, laundry and more — matters when addressing VOCs. Treating cis-1,2-dichloroethylene at the point where water enters your house ensures every faucet and appliance gets the same protection. A whole-house solution also helps stop contaminants from circulating through plumbing and machines, giving you steadier water quality for daily tasks rather than relying on a single filtered tap or pitcher.
The most effective single-filter option for whole-house removal of cis-1,2-dichloroethylene is an activated carbon system formulated for VOC reduction. Carbon media adsorbs many organic compounds as water flows through, and when the tank is sized correctly it provides sufficient contact time to capture more of the compound before it reaches fixtures. Installed and maintained properly, a whole-house carbon filter works quietly in the background to protect kitchens, bathrooms and laundry from this category of contaminants.
A whole-house carbon filter is installed on the main water line so incoming water is treated before it feeds the rest of your Foley home. Because removal depends on flow rate, media volume and water chemistry, correct sizing and periodic media replacement are essential to maintain adsorption performance. Mr. Pure Water in Foley can evaluate your plumbing and water usage, recommend the right carbon system capacity, and arrange follow-up testing to confirm the system is lowering cis-1,2-dichloroethylene as expected.
