Including filter system and high-performance Methylene Chloride filter.
Methylene chloride is a volatile organic chemical that can show up in water; you might also see it listed as dichloromethane on a lab report. It’s widely used in industrial solvents and can reach water when products are stored, handled, or disposed of improperly. Because it evaporates readily, potential exposure isn’t limited to just drinking—air in your home can be affected when contaminated water is used for showering or other household tasks.
At low concentrations, methylene chloride usually won’t change the taste, smell, or look of your water, so most Southchase homeowners find out about it through testing or a utility notice showing VOCs. Unlike hard water minerals that cause scale and spotting around Orlando-area homes, this chemical won’t produce visible deposits. The sensible first move is to test your water for VOCs and then decide whether a point-of-use device or a whole-house solution is the right approach for your property.
To reduce methylene chloride in household water, the most common and effective option is an activated carbon filter formulated for VOC removal. Quality carbon media adsorbs solvents such as methylene chloride (dichloromethane) as water flows through the tank, lowering what reaches taps and showers. Because VOCs can impact multiple uses in the home, many families around Southchase choose a whole-house carbon system installed at the main entry point to protect showers, sinks, laundry, and appliances throughout the house.
Not every carbon system performs the same for VOCs, so selecting the right media, ensuring adequate contact time, and matching flow rate to your home’s needs is key. In hard-water areas near Orlando, homeowners often prefer a single-entry activated carbon unit to cover the whole house rather than several under-sink filters. Mr. Pure Water can work with Southchase residents to recommend and size a whole-house activated carbon system that targets VOCs like dichloromethane based on your water test results and household water use.
