Including filter system and high-performance trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene filter.
trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter drinking water when industrial solvents or degreasers reach groundwater. Because it volatilizes readily, you might notice a chemical-like smell when water runs in your Allentown house, especially during showers or when filling sinks. Even without an obvious odor, VOCs are often regulated at low concentrations, so many homeowners choose to reduce exposure proactively. Installing whole-house treatment helps protect every faucet and shower in the home, not just individual fixtures.
Most Allentown residents find out about trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene from a lab test or a utility report rather than by sight or taste. Unlike visible issues such as sediment or hardness, this contaminant is dissolved and won’t be removed by simple screens or standard cartridge filters designed for rust and particles. It can also off-gas from hot water into indoor air during bathing, so treating only one tap leaves the rest of the house unprotected. Addressing the main water line gives more uniform treatment for cooking, drinking, bathing, and laundry in your Allentown home.
The most effective single-filter whole-house option for reducing trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene is a quality activated carbon system, typically using granular activated carbon (GAC) with adequate contact time. Activated carbon adsorbs many VOCs onto its surface as water flows through, which is why it’s commonly chosen for solvent-type contaminants. When properly sized for an Allentown home, a whole-house carbon filter delivers treated water to every tap so showers and other high-use activities benefit, not just the kitchen faucet.
Performance depends on proper system design, so choose a whole-house carbon unit based on flow rate, carbon volume, and residence time in the media. Larger carbon beds and slower flow improve VOC removal, while undersized systems can experience premature breakthrough during peak use. At Mr. Pure Water in Allentown we match carbon configuration to your household’s plumbing demands and schedule regular maintenance and media replacement so the whole-house activated carbon filter continues reducing trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene reliably.
