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 water runs—during a shower or while filling a sink—though an odor isn’t always present. Lake Lorraine homeowners who want to limit daily exposure often choose a whole-house strategy so treated water reaches every faucet and shower in the home.
Most residents in Lake Lorraine find out about trans-1,2-dichloroethylene from a lab test or utility notification rather than by sight or taste. This contaminant is dissolved in water, not a suspended particle, so simple sediment filters and standard cartridge filters won’t remove it. Because VOCs can transfer into indoor air during hot-water use, addressing the source at the main service line gives broader protection for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry than treating only a single faucet.
The single most effective whole-house filter for reducing trans-1,2-dichloroethylene is a high-quality activated carbon system, typically using granular activated carbon (GAC) with adequate contact time. Carbon removes many solvent-type VOCs by adsorbing them onto the media as water flows through, which makes it a common solution for solvent contamination. Installed as a whole-house unit for Lake Lorraine homes, a properly sized carbon filter delivers treated water to every tap rather than just one location.
Performance hinges on correct design: choose a whole-house carbon filter sized for your home’s flow rate, with enough carbon volume and contact time to lower VOCs effectively. Larger carbon beds and slower flow rates reduce the chance of early breakthrough, while undersized systems can struggle during peak usage. Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right GAC configuration to match your Lake Lorraine plumbing and household demand; with scheduled maintenance and media replacement, a whole-house activated carbon system offers consistent reduction of trans-1,2-dichloroethylene throughout the home.
