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 evaporates readily, you might sometimes detect a chemical-like odor when water runs — for example during a shower or while filling a sink — although it isn’t always noticeable. Even without a smell, many homeowners in Pace choose to address VOCs at low concentrations. A whole-house treatment protects every faucet and shower in your residence rather than treating only a single point.
Most Pace residents learn about trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene from a lab test or their water provider’s report rather than by sight or taste. This compound is dissolved in water, so sediment filters or basic cartridge filters for rust and particulates won’t remove it. Because it can transfer from water into indoor air during hot-water use, tackling the issue at the main line instead of just at one tap gives more complete protection for drinking, cooking, bathing and laundry throughout your home.
The single most effective whole-house filter type for reducing trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene is a high-quality activated carbon system, typically using granular activated carbon (GAC) with appropriate contact time. Activated carbon removes many VOCs by adsorbing them onto the media as water flows through, which is why it’s a common choice for solvent-related contaminants. Installed on the main water line, a properly sized carbon filter supplies treated water to every tap in a Pace home, helping lower VOC exposure during showers and other high-use activities.
Performance depends on design, so pick a whole-house carbon filter sized for your home’s flow rate, carbon volume, and contact time; larger beds and slower flow generally improve VOC removal while undersized units can lead to earlier breakthrough. Mr. Pure Water will match the right carbon configuration to your Pace plumbing and household demand so the system keeps pace during peak use. With routine maintenance and timely media replacement, a whole-house activated carbon filter delivers consistent, home-wide reduction of trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene.
