Including filter system and high-performance cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene filter.
cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter groundwater when some industrial solvents or degreasers break down. Because it dissolves in water, contamination can move away from the original source and remain in the environment for extended periods. At the concentrations homeowners typically encounter, it may not produce an obvious taste or smell, so routine water testing is the usual way to find it. If your New Upsala water test shows elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene (also searched as cis-1,2-dichloroethene or cis-DCE), it’s sensible to consider steps to reduce household exposure.
Drinking water is only part of the picture — water for cooking, bathing and laundry can also carry VOCs. Treating water where it enters a New Upsala home protects every faucet and appliance, helping prevent contaminants from circulating through pipes, water heaters, and washing machines. A whole-house solution means consistent water quality across daily tasks, rather than depending on a single point-of-use device or bottled water.
The most effective single-filter option for whole-house cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene reduction is an activated carbon system formulated for VOC removal. Carbon media adsorbs many organic chemicals as water flows through, and when the tank is properly sized it offers enough contact time to capture more of this compound before water reaches fixtures. Installed correctly, a whole-house carbon filter quietly protects kitchens, bathrooms and laundry in New Upsala without changing everyday water use.
Whole-house carbon filters are mounted on the main supply line so incoming water is treated before it splits to the rest of the house. Performance depends on flow rate, media volume and water chemistry — factors especially relevant in Polk County where water is commonly hard and limescale can affect plumbing and appliances. Carbon also has a finite service life and requires periodic media replacement to maintain VOC removal. Mr. Pure Water can help size the right whole-house carbon system for your New Upsala home and arrange follow-up testing to verify results if you’d like.
