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 drinking water when certain industrial solvents or degreasers break down and move into groundwater. Because it can dissolve and travel beyond its source, it may remain in water for long periods. At common concentrations homeowners usually can’t smell or taste it, so testing is the usual way to detect it. If your Koerber water test shows elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, taking steps to reduce exposure throughout the house is a sensible next move.
Contaminants in drinking water affect more than just the glass you fill—water for cooking, bathing, and laundry matters too. For households in Koerber, treating water at the point it enters the home makes the most sense because it protects every faucet and appliance. A whole-house solution also keeps VOCs like cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene from circulating through plumbing and machines, delivering steadier water quality for daily routines instead of treating only one tap.
For reducing cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, the most effective single-filter whole-house option is an activated carbon system built for VOC removal. Carbon media adsorbs many organic contaminants as water flows through the tank, providing contact time needed to capture these compounds before water reaches your fixtures. Sized correctly for a Koerber home, an activated carbon tank works quietly in the background to protect kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry with a single, central filter.
A whole-house carbon filter is installed on the main water line so incoming water is treated before it branches through your Koerber home. Because effectiveness depends on flow rate, carbon volume, and water chemistry, proper sizing and media selection are important for steady reduction of cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene. Carbon media also has a finite service life and must be replaced periodically to maintain performance. Mr. Pure Water can help pick the right whole-house carbon system for your house and arrange follow-up testing to verify results if you’d like.
