Including filter system and high-performance cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene filter.
cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can reach groundwater when certain industrial solvents or degreasers break down. Because it dissolves into groundwater, it can move away from its original source and remain in aquifers for long periods. At the concentrations homeowners typically encounter it often has no distinct taste or odor, so the only reliable way to find it is through testing. If your Three Lakes water test shows elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, it’s a good idea to consider steps to reduce exposure throughout the house.
Drinking water isn’t the only concern — water used for cooking, bathing, and laundry can also matter for household exposure. Treating water where it enters a Three Lakes home ensures every faucet and appliance is covered, preventing contaminants from cycling through plumbing, water heaters, and washing machines. A whole-house solution gives consistent protection across daily routines so you’re not relying on a single point-of-use device or pitchers for safer water.
For cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, the most effective single-filter whole-house option is an activated carbon system formulated for VOC reduction. Carbon media adsorbs many organic compounds as water flows through the tank, providing the contact time needed to capture more of this contaminant before it reaches taps. In Three Lakes homes drawing hard groundwater from the Floridan aquifer, a properly sized carbon tank can work automatically in the background to protect kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry at once.
A whole-house carbon filter is normally installed on the main service line so treated water branches out to the rest of the home. Because hard water and local water chemistry affect performance, correct sizing, flow rate consideration, and routine media replacement are important to maintain cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene reduction. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Three Lakes property, recommend the right whole-house carbon system for your plumbing and water hardness, and arrange follow-up testing to confirm that the system is working as intended.
