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 volatilizes readily, you might notice a chemical-like odor when running water in your Long Point home—showers and hot-water use can make that smell more obvious. Even without an obvious scent, homeowners often choose to address VOCs at low concentrations; treating the whole house cuts exposure from all taps and fixtures rather than just one point of use.
Most Long Point residents learn about trans-1,2-dichloroethylene from lab testing or a utility notice rather than by sight or taste. This compound is dissolved in the water, so standard sediment screens and basic cartridge filters that trap dirt, rust, or hardness won’t remove it. Because VOCs can transfer from water into indoor air during activities like showering, treating only the kitchen sink leaves other indoor exposures unaddressed. A main-line, whole-house system offers consistent treatment for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry throughout your home.
The best single-filter whole-house option for reducing trans-1,2-dichloroethylene is a high-quality activated carbon system, typically using granular activated carbon (GAC) with sufficient contact time. Activated carbon removes many solvent-type VOCs by adsorbing them onto the media as water flows through, which makes it well suited for this contaminant. When a Long Point house is fitted with a properly sized whole-home carbon filter, every faucet delivers treated water—not just a single point-of-use fixture—helping reduce VOC exposure during showers and other common uses.
Performance depends on correct design: flow rate, carbon volume, and contact time all matter. Larger carbon beds and slower flow improve VOC removal, while undersized systems can experience earlier breakthrough when household demand is high. Mr. Pure Water can recommend a carbon configuration sized for your Long Point plumbing and peak usage; with scheduled maintenance and media replacement, a whole-house activated carbon filter will deliver dependable reduction of trans-1,2-dichloroethylene throughout your home.
