trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene in Paradise Park Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene in the Water Supply of Paradise Park Florida Homes

trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter drinking water when industrial solvents or degreasing agents reach groundwater. Because it evaporates easily, you might notice a chemical-like smell when running water—showers and hot-water uses can make it more noticeable. Even without an obvious odor, many homeowners in Paradise Park choose to address VOCs at low concentrations. Installing protection for the whole house helps reduce exposure from all water uses, not just the kitchen sink.

Most Paradise Park residents find out about trans-1,2-Dichloroethylene from a lab test or a municipal/private well report rather than by sight or taste. Because this contaminant is dissolved in water it won’t be removed by basic sediment screens or standard cartridge filters designed for rust and particulates. It can also transfer from water into indoor air during bathing or other hot-water activities, so treating only one faucet won’t fully address the risk. A main-line, whole-house solution gives consistent treatment for drinking, cooking, showering and laundry across your home.
