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 certain industrial solvents or degreasers break down. Because it dissolves readily, it can travel away from its original source and remain in water for long periods. At typical concentrations many homeowners in Orangetree won’t notice any obvious taste or smell, so testing is the usual way to detect it. If your water test shows elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene (also known as cis-1,2-dichloroethene), it’s sensible to consider measures that reduce exposure throughout the house.
Contaminants in drinking water affect more than just the kitchen tap: cooking, bathing and laundry all use the same supply. For Orangetree homes a whole-house solution treats water at the point of entry so every faucet and appliance sees the same filtered water, which is especially helpful in our humid subtropical climate where reliable plumbing performance matters. Treating water before it circulates through pipes and appliances helps limit contaminants like cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene from lingering in the system and gives consistent protection for everyday use.
The most effective single-filter choice for removing cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene in a whole-house system is an activated carbon filter made for VOC reduction. Carbon media adsorbs many organic compounds as water flows through, and when the tank is sized correctly it provides sufficient contact time to capture more of the compound before it reaches taps. This style of treatment runs automatically and offers protection to kitchens, bathrooms and laundry without needing separate point-of-use units.
Whole-house carbon systems are installed at the main water line so incoming water is treated before it branches to the rest of your Orangetree home. Because performance depends on flow rate, media volume and local water chemistry — and Southwest Florida homes often deal with mineral scaling from hard groundwater — proper sizing and periodic media replacement are important to maintain VOC reduction. Carbon media will exhaust over time, so scheduled service keeps adsorption working well; Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for your house and arrange follow-up testing if you want to confirm results.
