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, and it can move beyond the original source. At the concentrations typically encountered, homeowners in St Cloud likely won’t detect it by smell or taste, so it’s usually found through water testing. If your water test shows elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene (also known by its other names), taking steps to lower exposure inside the home is a sensible precaution.
Tap water used for drinking is just part of the picture — water for cooking, bathing and laundry matters too. Addressing VOCs like cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene at the point where water enters a St Cloud home ensures every faucet and appliance receives treated water. A whole-house solution prevents contaminants from cycling through your plumbing and appliances, giving more consistent water quality for day-to-day use instead of relying on a single filtered faucet or pitcher.
The most effective single-filter option for whole-house removal of cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene is an activated carbon system formulated for VOC reduction. Carbon media adsorbs many organic contaminants as water flows through the tank, allowing sufficient contact time in a properly sized unit to capture a large portion of the compound before it reaches fixtures. Installed correctly, this solution operates automatically and protects kitchens, bathrooms and laundry without extra steps from the homeowner.
A whole-house carbon filter is installed on the main water line so incoming water is treated before splitting to the rest of your St Cloud home. Performance depends on flow rate, carbon volume and water chemistry, so accurate sizing and periodic media replacement are key to maintaining cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene reduction. Mr. Pure Water can help size and install the right whole-house carbon system for your property and arrange follow-up testing to confirm results if you’d like.
