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 agents reach groundwater. Because it evaporates readily, you might notice a chemical-like smell when running water—during showers or filling sinks—or you may not detect it at all. Even without an obvious odor, VOCs are assessed at low concentrations, so many Felkel homeowners choose a whole-house solution to limit exposure across all household water uses.
Most residents in Felkel find out about trans-1,2-dichloroethylene from a lab test or their water utility’s report rather than by sight or taste. This contaminant dissolves in water, so basic sediment filters and standard cartridge screens that capture rust and dirt won’t remove it. It can also transfer from water into indoor air during hot-water activities, so treating only one faucet won’t fully address the risk—installing treatment at the main line gives more consistent protection for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry.
The single most effective whole-house filter type for removing trans-1,2-dichloroethylene is a quality activated carbon system, typically using granular activated carbon (GAC) sized for proper contact time. Activated carbon adsorbs many VOCs onto its surface as water flows through, which makes it a common choice for solvent-related contaminants. When a whole-house GAC unit is correctly sized, every tap in your Felkel home delivers treated water—not just the kitchen—so showers and other high-use activities benefit as well.
Performance comes down to design: choose a whole-house carbon filter that matches your home’s flow rate, carbon volume, and required contact time. Larger carbon beds and slower flow rates improve VOC removal, while undersized tanks risk faster breakthrough under heavy use. Mr. Pure Water can help size a GAC configuration to meet Felkel plumbing needs and peak demand, and with scheduled maintenance and timely media replacement, a whole-house activated carbon system will deliver consistent reduction of trans-1,2-dichloroethylene throughout your house.
