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 migrate into groundwater. Because it can dissolve and move beyond its original source, the compound may persist in the environment. At the concentrations most homeowners encounter, cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene often has no noticeable taste or odor, so testing is the usual way to find it. If testing of your Leland water shows elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, consider steps to reduce household exposure.
Contaminants in drinking water affect more than just glasses at the kitchen sink — water used for cooking, bathing, and laundry matters too. For Leland homeowners, treating water where it enters the property treats every faucet, shower and appliance downstream. Addressing VOCs like cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene with a whole-house solution also helps prevent contaminants from cycling through water heaters and plumbing, giving you consistent water quality across daily tasks instead of relying on a single point-of-use device.
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 a wide range of organic compounds as water flows through the tank, providing contact time needed to capture many VOCs before water reaches your taps. When properly sized for a Leland home’s flow and usage, a carbon tank treats the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry automatically, running quietly out of sight while protecting household water.
A whole-house carbon filter is installed on the main supply line so incoming water is treated before it divides to the rest of the home. Performance depends on factors like flow rate, media volume and water chemistry, so correct sizing and regular media replacement are important to maintain reduction of cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water in Leland can help select the right whole-house carbon system for your plumbing and confirm improvement with follow-up testing if you’d like.
