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 degreasing chemicals reach groundwater. Because it evaporates readily, you might notice a chemical-like smell when running water in your Bascom home, especially during showers or while filling sinks. Even without an obvious odor, VOCs are assessed at low concentrations, so many homeowners choose a whole-house solution to reduce exposure across all household uses.
Most Bascom homeowners learn about trans-1,2-dichloroethylene from laboratory testing or a consumer confidence report rather than by sight or taste. Unlike visible sediment or mineral hardness, this contaminant is dissolved and won’t be removed by simple sediment screens or standard cartridge filters designed for dirt and rust. It can also off-gas from hot water into indoor air during showers, so treating only one faucet leaves other water uses unprotected. Installing treatment at the main water line delivers more consistent coverage for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry throughout your home.
The single most effective whole-house filter choice for trans-1,2-dichloroethylene is a high-quality activated carbon system, typically using granular activated carbon (GAC) with adequate contact time. Activated carbon removes many solvent-type VOCs by adsorbing them onto its surface as water flows through, which is why utilities and homeowners rely on it for solvent contaminants. A properly sized whole-house carbon filter treats every tap in your Bascom residence, so you reduce VOC exposure not just at the kitchen sink but during showering and other frequent uses.
Performance hinges on system design, so choose a whole-house carbon filter based on your home’s flow rate, carbon bed volume, and desired contact time. Larger carbon beds and slower flow improve VOC reduction, while undersized units can allow earlier breakthrough under heavy demand. Mr. Pure Water can recommend a carbon configuration matched to Bascom plumbing needs so the filter keeps pace during peak use. With scheduled maintenance and timely media replacement, a whole-house activated carbon system delivers consistent, home-wide reduction of trans-1,2-dichloroethylene.
