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 chemicals reach groundwater. Because it evaporates readily, you might notice a chemical-like odor when water runs—during showers or while filling sinks—in homes around Lamont. Even without an obvious smell, homeowners often address VOCs because they’re evaluated at very low concentrations. Treating your entire house helps reduce exposure across all the water you use every day.
Most Lamont residents learn about trans-1,2-dichloroethylene from a water test or a utility notice rather than by taste or sight. This contaminant is dissolved in water, so simple sediment filters or basic cartridge screens that remove dirt and rust won’t catch it. Because the compound can transfer from water into indoor air during hot-water use, treating only one faucet leaves some risk. A whole-house system installed at the main line gives more consistent protection for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry throughout your Lamont home.
The most effective single-filter choice for a whole-house setup to reduce trans-1,2-dichloroethylene is an activated carbon system, typically using granular activated carbon (GAC) with adequate contact time. Activated carbon adsorbs many VOCs onto its surface as water flows through, which is why it’s commonly used for solvent-type contaminants. When sized correctly for a Lamont house, a whole-home carbon filter treats water at every tap—not just the kitchen—so showers and other high-use activities receive the same treated water.
Because effectiveness hinges on correct design, choose a whole-house carbon filter based on your flow rate, carbon volume and media contact time. Larger carbon beds and slower flow through the tank generally improve VOC removal, while undersized units are more likely to let contaminants break through during heavy use. Mr. Pure Water will match the right carbon configuration to your Lamont plumbing so the system handles peak demand; with routine maintenance and timely media replacement, a whole-house activated carbon filter delivers dependable reduction of trans-1,2-dichloroethylene across your home.
