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 dissolve into groundwater. Because it can move with groundwater, it may travel from its source and remain in the subsurface for long periods. At the levels homeowners are likely to encounter, it often has no obvious taste or smell, so testing is the usual way to detect it. If your Kuhlman well or utility report shows elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, it makes sense to consider steps that reduce exposure throughout the house.
Contaminants in tap water affect more than just drinking — they can reach cooking, bathing, and laundry too. Treating water where it enters the home ensures every faucet in your Kuhlman property is covered, preventing VOCs like cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene from circulating through appliances and plumbing. A whole-house solution offers consistent protection for daily use, so you’re not relying on a single filtered kitchen faucet or pitcher.
The most effective single-filter option for whole-house reduction of cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene is an activated carbon system built for VOC removal. Carbon media adsorbs many organic compounds as water flows through, and in a properly sized tank it provides the contact time needed to capture more of the contaminant before water reaches fixtures. This style of system operates automatically and protects the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry throughout your Kuhlman home.
Whole-house carbon filters are installed on the main water 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 — and much of Florida, including Kuhlman, gets hard water from limestone aquifers — correct sizing and media selection are important for reliable cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene reduction. Carbon media will also need periodic replacement to maintain adsorption capacity. Mr. Pure Water can help size the right whole-house carbon system for your home and arrange follow-up testing if you’d like verification.
