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 dissolves and can travel away from its original source, it may persist in aquifers and well supplies. At the concentrations homeowners typically encounter, it often has no distinct taste or smell, so routine water testing is the usual way to detect it. If your Shorewood household’s water test shows elevated cis-1,2-dichloroethylene, taking steps to reduce exposure across the home is a prudent next step.
Contaminants like cis-1,2-dichloroethylene affect more than just the water you drink — cooking, bathing, and laundry in Shorewood are all part of everyday exposure. Treating the water where it enters your house ensures every faucet and appliance receives the same protection, rather than relying on a single point-of-use device. A whole-house solution also helps keep carbon-prone scale and contaminants from circulating through plumbing and appliances, an important consideration in Lee County where hard water is common.
For cis-1,2-dichloroethylene, the leading single-filter option for whole-house treatment is an activated carbon system designed specifically for VOC reduction. Carbon media adsorbs many organic chemicals as water passes through the tank, providing effective removal when the system is properly sized. In a correctly chosen carbon unit there’s sufficient contact time for the media to capture more of the compound before water reaches showers, sinks, and laundry, and the system runs automatically behind the scenes for whole-home protection.
Whole-house carbon filters are installed on the main water line so incoming supply is treated before it splits to fixtures. Because a unit’s performance depends on flow rate, media volume and water chemistry, proper sizing and configuration are important to reduce cis-1,2-dichloroethylene reliably. Carbon media also wears out and requires periodic replacement to maintain capacity. Mr. Pure Water’s technicians can recommend a correctly sized whole-house carbon system for your Shorewood home — factoring in hard water in Lee County — and can arrange follow-up testing to verify results if you’d like.
