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 leach into groundwater. Because it can travel with groundwater, the contaminant may move beyond its original source and remain in the water for long periods. At typical concentrations most people won’t notice a smell or taste, so the presence of cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene is often discovered through testing. If your Secotan household water test shows elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, it’s reasonable to consider steps to reduce exposure throughout the home.
Water used for cooking, bathing, and laundry affects everyday household exposure, so treating only one faucet doesn’t address the full picture. For Secotan homeowners, treating water at the point it enters the house ensures every tap and appliance receives the same protection. A whole-house solution also helps prevent contaminants from cycling through plumbing and water-using devices, delivering more consistent water quality for daily routines rather than relying on a single filtered faucet or pitcher.
The most effective single-filter option for cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene in a whole-house setup is an activated carbon system formulated for VOC reduction. Carbon media adsorbs many organic compounds as water flows through the tank, giving the compound contact time to adhere to the media. When the tank is properly sized for a Secotan home’s flow and usage, carbon can significantly reduce VOCs before water reaches kitchen, bathroom, and laundry fixtures. This approach runs automatically in the background, treating every outlet in the house.
A whole-house carbon filter is usually installed on the main service line so treated water feeds every branch of the plumbing. Because reduction performance depends on flow rate, media volume, and local water chemistry, correct sizing and media selection are important to reliably lower cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene in Secotan homes. Carbon media also reaches the end of its service life and requires periodic replacement to maintain effectiveness. Mr. Pure Water can assess your home, recommend a correctly sized whole-house carbon system, and provide follow-up testing to confirm results if you’d like.
