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 easily, Lantana homeowners may sometimes detect a chemical-like smell when water runs, particularly during showers or while filling sinks. Even without an obvious odor, many people choose to address VOCs at low levels, and a whole-house solution treats every outlet in the home so exposure is managed across daily uses like bathing, cooking, and laundry.
Most residents find out about trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene from a lab test or a utility report rather than by sight or taste. This contaminant dissolves in water, so it won’t be removed by simple sediment screens or cartridge filters that target dirt and rust—issues that Lantana homes also face alongside hard water mineral buildup. Because dissolved VOCs can release into indoor air when hot water is used, treating only one faucet won’t fully protect your household; installing treatment at the main line gives consistent coverage for every tap.
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. Activated carbon adsorbs many VOCs onto its surface as water flows through, which is why it’s commonly chosen for solvent-related contaminants. When sized and installed for a whole Lantana property, a properly designed carbon tank supplies treated water to every fixture—not just the kitchen—helping reduce VOC exposure during showers and other high-use activities.
Performance depends on flow rate, carbon volume, and contact time, so whole-house carbon filters must be matched to your home’s plumbing and peak demand. Larger carbon beds and slower flow improve VOC reduction, while undersized units can allow earlier breakthrough as usage spikes. At Mr. Pure Water we size carbon systems to account for local conditions—including hard water common in Palm Beach County—so the filter keeps up when your household needs it most; with scheduled maintenance and media replacement, a whole-house activated carbon system delivers dependable reduction of trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene throughout your Lantana home.
