trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene in Clarcona Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene in the Water Supply of Clarcona Florida Homes

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-like odor when hot water runs—during a shower or while filling a sink—or you may not notice it at all. Even without an obvious smell, many homeowners in Clarcona prefer to reduce VOCs at the source; a whole-house system treats all the water you use every day rather than leaving any faucets unprotected.

Most Clarcona homeowners discover trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene from a water analysis or a utility notice rather than by sight or taste. Unlike visible sediment or the limescale from hard groundwater common in the Greater Orlando area, this contaminant is dissolved and won’t be trapped by simple screens or basic cartridge filters that handle dirt and rust. Because it can transfer from water into indoor air when hot water is used, treating only one tap leaves other points of use exposed; installing treatment at the main line gives more consistent protection for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry throughout your Orange County home.
