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-like smell when hot water runs in a Lake Placid shower or while filling a sink. Even without an obvious odor, many homeowners choose to address VOCs at low levels. Installing treatment for the whole house helps limit exposure from every faucet and fixture you use daily.
Often people find out about trans-1,2-dichloroethylene through lab results or a utility notice rather than by sight or taste. This contaminant dissolves in water, so simple sediment filters or basic cartridge filters designed to catch rust and grit won’t remove it. Because dissolved VOCs can transfer into indoor air during hot-water activities, treating only one tap leaves other uses — like showers or laundry in Lake Placid’s hard-water homes — unprotected. A main-line whole-house solution gives consistent coverage for drinking, cooking, bathing and more.
The most effective single-filter choice for whole-house removal of trans-1,2-dichloroethylene is an activated carbon system, typically using granular activated carbon (GAC) sized for proper contact time. GAC removes many VOCs by adsorbing them onto the carbon as water flows through, which makes it a common option for solvent-related contaminants. When a Lake Placid home is fitted with a correctly sized whole-house carbon filter, every tap — not just the kitchen sink — gets treated water, helping reduce VOCs during showers and other high-use activities.
Performance hinges on system design, so choose a whole-house carbon filter based on your household flow rate, carbon bed volume, and contact time. Bigger carbon beds and slower flow generally improve VOC reduction; undersized units can lead to earlier breakthrough during peak use. Mr. Pure Water will match carbon configuration to your Lake Placid plumbing needs — taking into account hard groundwater and typical household demand — and recommend maintenance and media replacement schedules so the system continues to reduce trans-1,2-dichloroethylene reliably.
