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 smell when water runs — for example during a shower or while filling a sink — though there won’t always be a scent. Since VOCs are evaluated at low concentrations, many Lois homeowners choose a whole-house strategy to limit exposure across all water used in the house each day.
Most people in Lois find out about trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene from a lab test or a utility report rather than by sight or taste. This contaminant stays dissolved in water, so ordinary sediment screens and basic cartridge filters designed for rust and dirt won’t remove it. Because it can off-gas into indoor air during hot-water use, treating only one faucet won’t fully address the risk; installing treatment at the main line gives consistent protection for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry throughout a Lois home.
The single most effective whole-house filter type for 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 as water flows through the media, which is why it is commonly specified for solvent-related contaminants. A properly sized whole-house carbon unit supplies treated water to every tap in your Lois home, helping reduce VOC exposure during showers and other frequent water uses.
Performance comes down to system design: choose a whole-house carbon filter by considering flow rate, carbon volume and contact time so the bed isn’t undersized. Larger carbon beds and slower flow generally improve VOC removal, while small units can allow early breakthrough during peak use. Mr. Pure Water can match the right carbon configuration to your Lois plumbing and household demand; with routine maintenance and timely media replacement, a whole-house activated carbon filter delivers steady reduction of trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene.
