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 readily evaporates, you might notice a chemical-like odor from taps in your Littman home during showers or when filling a basin. Even without a smell, VOCs are often regulated at low levels, so many homeowners choose to address them. Treating water at the whole-house level helps limit exposure across all daily uses — from drinking and cooking to bathing and laundry.
Most Littman residents find out about trans-1,2-dichloroethylene from a lab water test or a utility notice rather than by sight or taste. This contaminant is dissolved in water, so simple sediment filters or basic cartridge screens that catch dirt and rust won’t remove it. Because it can transfer from water into indoor air during hot-water activities, fixing the problem only at a single faucet doesn’t fully protect the household. Installing treatment at the main line gives more consistent coverage for drinking, cooking, showering and other everyday uses in your home.
The best single-filter choice for a whole-house system targeting trans-1,2-dichloroethylene is a high-quality activated carbon filter, typically using granular activated carbon (GAC) sized for proper contact time. Activated carbon removes many VOCs by adsorbing them onto the media as water flows through, which makes it a standard option for solvent-related contaminants. When a Littman home is fitted with a correctly sized whole-house carbon system, every tap receives treated water — important for reducing VOCs during showers and other heavy-use periods.
Carbon filter performance depends on system design, so choose a whole-house unit that matches your home's flow rate, carbon bed volume, and desired contact time. Larger carbon beds and slower flow improve VOC removal, while undersized tanks can lead to earlier breakthrough under high demand. Mr. Pure Water can help Littman homeowners select the right GAC configuration for their plumbing and peak-use needs. With scheduled maintenance and timely media replacement, a whole-house activated carbon system delivers consistent reduction of trans-1,2-dichloroethylene throughout the house.
