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 move into groundwater. Because it can dissolve and travel in the subsurface, it may spread away from the original source and remain in the environment for extended periods. At the levels homeowners commonly encounter it usually has no noticeable taste or odor, so testing is the reliable way to detect it. If your Hanson water test indicates elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, it’s sensible to consider steps to lower exposure across the whole house.
Protecting household water used for cooking, bathing and laundry is just as important as treating drinking water. For Hanson homes, addressing VOCs like cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene at the point where water enters the residence ensures every faucet and appliance receives treated water. A whole-house system also helps stop contaminants from cycling through plumbing and appliances, giving you consistent water quality throughout daily routines instead of relying on a single filtered faucet or pitcher.
The single most effective whole-house filter type for cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene is an activated carbon system formulated for VOC reduction. Carbon media adsorbs many organic compounds as water flows through the tank, providing contact time to capture more of the contaminant before it reaches fixtures. Installed and sized properly for a Hanson home, this approach treats water automatically in the background and protects kitchens, bathrooms and laundry without extra steps from residents.
A whole-house carbon filter is usually placed on the main service line so incoming water is treated before it splits to the rest of the house. Because effectiveness depends on flow rate, media volume and water chemistry, proper sizing and periodic media replacement are essential to maintain cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene reduction. Mr. Pure Water in Hanson can recommend the right whole-house carbon system for your property and arrange follow-up testing to verify performance if you’d like.
