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 evaporates readily, you might notice a chemical smell when running hot water — for example during showers or while filling sinks — even though the water looks clear. Many homeowners in Bithlo prefer a whole-house plan because VOCs are assessed at low concentrations and treating water at the main line reduces exposure from every faucet, not just a single tap.
Most Bithlo residents find out about trans-1,2-dichloroethylene from lab testing or a utility notice rather than by taste or sight. This contaminant dissolves into the water and won’t be removed by simple sediment screens or standard cartridge filters designed for dirt and rust. It can also transfer from water into indoor air when hot water is used, so treating only one faucet won’t address household-wide exposure. A whole-house installation treats water used for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry across Central Florida’s varied municipal and well systems.
The best single-filter choice for whole-house removal of trans-1,2-dichloroethylene is an activated carbon system, typically built around granular activated carbon (GAC) with adequate contact time. Carbon adsorbs many VOCs as water flows through the media, which is why it’s commonly specified for solvent-related contaminants. When sized correctly for a Bithlo home, a whole-house carbon filter makes sure every tap—including showers after a hot Florida summer day—receives treated water rather than relying on point-of-use devices.
Performance comes down to design: choose a whole-house carbon unit sized for your household flow rate, carbon volume, and contact time. Larger carbon beds and slower flows improve VOC removal, while undersized systems can experience early breakthrough during peak demand. At Mr. Pure Water we consider Bithlo’s moderate water hardness and your home’s peak usage when recommending carbon configurations and maintenance schedules so the system keeps up; with scheduled media replacement, a properly designed whole-house activated carbon filter delivers dependable reduction of trans-1,2-dichloroethylene.
