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 volatilizes easily, you might notice a chemical-like smell when running water, especially during showers or while filling a sink. Even if you don’t detect an odor, VOCs are often assessed at low concentrations, so many Overstreet homeowners choose a whole-house strategy to reduce exposure from all indoor uses.
Most homeowners in Overstreet find out about trans-1,2-dichloroethylene from a lab test or their water utility’s report rather than by sight or taste. This contaminant is dissolved in the water and won’t be removed by simple sediment screens or standard dirt-and-rust cartridge filters. It can also transfer from water into indoor air during hot-water use, so treating only one tap leaves other points of use unprotected. Installing treatment at the main line gives consistent coverage for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry across your Florida home.
The best single-filter choice for a whole-house system targeting trans-1,2-dichloroethylene is a high-quality activated carbon unit, typically using granular activated carbon (GAC) sized for adequate contact time. Activated carbon removes many solvent-type VOCs by adsorbing them onto the media as water flows through, which is why it’s a common solution for these contaminants. A properly sized whole-house carbon filter treats water at every Overstreet tap, so reductions apply during showers and other high-use activities—not just at the kitchen faucet.
Performance depends on proper design: choose a whole-house carbon filter based on flow rate, carbon bed volume, and contact time. Larger carbon beds and slower flow rates improve VOC removal, while undersized systems can see earlier breakthrough under heavy use. Mr. Pure Water will match the right carbon configuration to your Overstreet home’s plumbing and peak demands, and with scheduled maintenance and media replacement, a whole-house activated carbon system delivers dependable reduction of trans-1,2-dichloroethylene.
