Including filter system and high-performance cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene filter.
cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound that can enter drinking water when some industrial solvents or degreasers break down and migrate into groundwater. Because it can dissolve and move with subsurface water, the compound may travel away from its original source and linger. At the concentrations homeowners typically encounter it usually has no noticeable taste or odor, so testing is the usual way to detect it. If testing in or near Munson shows elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, considering steps to reduce household exposure is a sensible precaution.
Contamination of drinking water affects more than just the glass you drink from — cooking, showering and laundry are part of the exposure picture, too. For Munson homeowners, treating water where it enters the house ensures every faucet, shower and appliance receives the same protection. A whole-house strategy also helps keep contaminants from recirculating through plumbing and appliances, giving you steadier water quality for daily use rather than relying on a single point-of-use device.
The most effective single-filter option for reducing cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene in a whole-house system is an activated carbon filter formulated for VOC removal. Carbon media adsorbs many organic contaminants as water flows through the tank, and when the vessel is sized correctly it provides sufficient contact time to capture more of the compound before water reaches fixtures. Installed and maintained properly, a whole-house carbon unit works automatically in the background to protect kitchens, bathrooms and laundry from VOCs like cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene.
A whole-house carbon filter is normally placed on the main service line so all incoming water to a Munson residence is treated before distribution. Because removal performance depends on flow rate, carbon volume and water chemistry, correct sizing and media selection are important for reliable reduction of cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene. Carbon also has a finite service life and requires periodic media replacement to maintain effectiveness. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your home, recommend the right whole-house carbon system, and arrange follow-up testing to verify results if you’d like.
