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 migrate into groundwater. Because it can dissolve and travel beyond the original source, it may persist in wells or municipal systems without obvious odor or taste at common concentrations. That means most New Harmony homeowners won’t notice it without testing, so if a water report flags cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (sometimes listed under other names), taking steps to reduce exposure throughout the house is a prudent next step.
Water used for cooking, bathing and laundry contributes to overall household exposure, not just water you drink, so treating at the point of entry protects every faucet in your New Harmony home. Addressing VOCs like cis-1,2-dichloroethylene with a whole-house solution prevents the contaminant from cycling through plumbing and appliances and ensures more consistent water quality for everyday tasks rather than relying on a single filtered tap or pitcher.
The most effective single-filter whole-house option for cis-1,2-dichloroethylene is an activated carbon system formulated for VOC reduction. Carbon media adsorbs many organic compounds as water flows through, giving the contaminant a greater chance to be captured before it reaches fixtures in kitchen, bathrooms and laundry. In a properly sized carbon tank you get adequate contact time for adsorption, and the treatment operates unobtrusively in the background to protect all taps in a New Harmony residence.
Whole-house carbon filters are installed on the main water line so incoming water is treated before it branches to the rest of the house. Because reduction depends on flow rate, media volume and water chemistry, correct sizing and media selection are key to reliable cis-1,2-dichloroethylene removal for New Harmony homes. Carbon does have a finite service life and must be replaced periodically to maintain performance; Mr. Pure Water can help size the right system for your property and arrange follow-up testing to verify results if you’d like.
