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 dissolve into groundwater. Because it can travel away from its source and linger in the environment, routine water testing is the usual way homeowners learn about it — it won’t necessarily be noticeable by smell or taste at common concentrations. If a test for your Pine Hills, Orange County, or greater Orlando-area home shows elevated cis-1,2-dichloroethylene, it’s reasonable to consider steps that reduce household exposure.
Contaminants in water affect more than just drinking — they can reach cooking, bathing, and laundry taps as well. Addressing VOCs like cis-1,2-dichloroethylene at the point where water enters a Pine Hills house ensures every faucet and appliance sees treated water, which helps prevent contaminants from circulating through plumbing and water-using appliances that are already coping with the Orlando area’s hard, mineral-rich water.
The most effective single-filter whole-house option for cis-1,2-dichloroethylene is an activated carbon system sized for VOC reduction. Carbon media adsorbs many organic compounds as water moves through the tank, providing the contact time needed to capture cis-1,2-dichloroethylene before it reaches fixtures. Properly installed in a Pine Hills home, this type of system works automatically to protect kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry from VOCs without requiring treatment at each faucet.
A whole-house carbon filter is installed on the main supply so incoming water is treated before it branches through your Pine Hills residence. Because performance depends on flow rate, media volume, and your water chemistry — including the hard, mineral-rich water common around Orlando — correct sizing and scheduled media replacement are essential to maintain reduction of cis-1,2-dichloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can help you select the right whole-house carbon system for your home and arrange follow-up testing to verify treatment performance.
