Including filter system and high-performance cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene filter.
cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can end up in drinking water when certain industrial solvents or degreasers break down and move into groundwater. Because it can dissolve and travel, the contamination can go beyond its original source and persist for a long time. At the levels usually found in household supplies, you’re unlikely to notice it by taste or smell, so routine water testing is the most reliable way to detect it. If your Watson water test shows elevated cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene (also known by any of its other common names), it’s sensible to consider steps to reduce exposure across your home.
Water matters for more than just drinking — cooking, bathing and laundry all put household water to work, so contaminants can affect everyday routines. For Watson homeowners, treating water where it enters the house treats every tap, whether your property uses a municipal supply or a private well. A whole-house system also helps keep contaminants from circulating through plumbing and appliances, giving you more consistent water quality throughout the humid subtropical seasons in North Florida.
When targeting cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene, a single whole-house activated carbon filter is the most effective single-filter choice. Carbon media adsorbs many organic contaminants as water flows through the tank, and in a correctly sized system it provides the contact time needed to reduce VOCs before water reaches fixtures. This approach runs automatically in the background, protecting sinks, showers and laundry without treating individual taps one by one.
Whole-house carbon filters are normally installed on the main line so incoming water is treated before it splits to the rest of the house. Because factors like household flow rate, media volume and local water chemistry affect how well cis-1,2-Dichloroethylene is reduced, proper sizing and maintenance are important. Carbon media also wears out and must be replaced periodically to retain effectiveness. At Mr. Pure Water we’ll help Watson homeowners choose the right whole-house carbon system for their plumbing and can arrange follow-up testing to verify results.
