Including filter system and high-performance cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene filter.
Cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter groundwater when certain industrial solvents or degreasers break down and move through the environment. Because it dissolves in water, the chemical can travel away from its original source and persist in supply wells or distribution systems. At common concentrations homeowners usually can’t smell or taste it, so testing is the reliable way to detect it. If your Golden Lakes water test shows elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, it’s sensible to consider steps to lower household exposure.
Concerns about cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene extend beyond drinking a glass of water — cooking, showering and laundry all use the same supply. Treating water where it enters your house ensures every faucet in your Golden Lakes home receives the same protection, rather than relying on point-of-use devices. A whole-house solution also helps keep appliances and plumbing from cycling contaminants, giving more consistent water quality for everyday tasks.
The most effective single-filter option for whole-house reduction of cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene is an activated carbon system sized for VOC removal. Carbon media adsorbs many organic compounds as water flows through the tank, providing the contact time needed to capture a large portion of these contaminants before water reaches fixtures. Installed and sized properly for a Golden Lakes residence, a whole-house carbon tank works automatically in the background to protect kitchens, bathrooms and laundry.
Whole-house carbon filters are mounted on the main water line so treated water feeds every branch of the plumbing. Because Palm Beach County water is commonly hard, correct sizing must account for flow rate, media volume and water chemistry to maintain reliable cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene reduction and avoid scale-related performance issues. Carbon media also has a limited service life and requires timely replacement to preserve adsorption capacity. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Golden Lakes home, recommend the right whole-house carbon system, and arrange follow-up testing if you’d like confirmation.
