Including filter system and high-performance Methylene Chloride filter.
Methylene chloride is a volatile organic chemical that can show up in water tests; you may also see it listed as dichloromethane. It’s widely used in industry and can reach water when solvents are stored, handled, or disposed of improperly. Because it evaporates easily, any indoor exposure in Betts could come from water, air, or both when higher concentrations are present.
At low concentrations, methylene chloride usually doesn’t change the taste, smell, or look of water, so Betts homeowners often find out about it only through lab testing or VOC results. Unlike minerals that cause hardness or staining, this contaminant won’t produce obvious plumbing signs. The sensible first move is to test your water and then decide if point-of-use devices or a whole-house solution makes more sense for your household.
The single most effective household option for reducing methylene chloride is an activated carbon filter rated for VOC removal. Quality carbon media adsorbs solvents such as methylene chloride (dichloromethane) as water flows through, cutting the amount that reaches taps and showers. Many Betts residents choose an entry-point whole-house carbon system so showers, sinks, laundry, and appliances all receive the same VOC treatment.
Not every carbon system performs the same for VOCs — carbon type, contact time, and flow rate determine long-term removal effectiveness. For Betts homes, an entry-point activated carbon unit offers centralized treatment without multiple under-sink units. Mr. Pure Water can assess your water test results and recommend a whole-house carbon system sized for your home’s water use to address contaminants like dichloromethane.
