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 original source and linger, homeowners usually won’t detect it by taste or smell at common concentrations, so the compound is typically found through testing. If your Scanlon water test shows elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene or related VOCs, it’s sensible to consider steps that reduce exposure throughout the house.
Contaminants in water affect more than just drinking—cooking, bathing, and laundry are part of daily exposure too—so treating water where it enters your Scanlon property treats every faucet and appliance. Addressing VOCs like cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene with a whole-house solution helps stop contaminants from cycling through plumbing and appliances, giving you consistent water quality across the home rather than relying on a single filtered tap.
The most effective single-filter choice for removing cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene in a whole-house installation is an activated carbon system formulated for VOC reduction. Carbon media adsorbs many organic compounds as water flows through the tank, and when the unit is sized correctly it provides the contact time needed to capture more of the contaminant before water reaches fixtures. Installed properly, a whole-house carbon filter operates unobtrusively to protect kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry all at once.
A whole-house carbon filter is mounted on the main water line so incoming water is treated before it splits to the rest of your Scanlon home. Because removal depends on factors like flow rate, media volume, and water chemistry, correct sizing and routine media replacement are essential to maintain reduction of cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can help select the right whole-house carbon system for your house and arrange follow-up testing to confirm performance if you’d like.
