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 leach into groundwater. Because it can move with subsurface water, the compound may travel away from its original source and remain in aquifers for extended periods. At the concentrations homeowners typically encounter it often has no noticeable taste or odor, so testing is the usual way to detect it. If your water report shows elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, taking steps to reduce it throughout your Lois home is sensible.
Contaminants in water affect more than just drinking—cooking, bathing, and washing are part of everyday exposure. Treating water where it enters the house means every faucet in your Lois residence receives the same protection, rather than relying on a single under-sink unit or pitcher filter. A whole-house solution also helps prevent VOCs from circulating through appliances and plumbing, delivering steadier water quality for daily routines across the home.
For cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, the most effective single-filter whole-house option is an activated carbon system formulated for VOC reduction. Carbon media adsorbs many organic compounds as water moves through the tank, making it well suited to address this class of contaminants. When the tank is sized correctly, the contact time with carbon increases the chance that the compound will be captured before water reaches your taps. This type of system works continuously in the background to protect kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry in Lois homes.
A whole-house carbon filter is installed on the main supply so incoming water is treated before it branches to fixtures. Because removal depends on flow rate, carbon volume, and water chemistry, proper sizing and media selection are important to reliably reduce cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene in a Lois home. Carbon media also becomes saturated over time and requires periodic replacement to maintain performance. Mr. Pure Water can help you choose the right whole-house carbon system for your property and arrange follow-up testing to confirm results.
