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 agents reach groundwater. Because it volatilizes easily, some Postil homeowners notice a faint chemical odor when running hot water, like during a shower or while filling a basin. Even without a detectable smell, VOCs are assessed at low concentrations, so many residents choose a whole-house solution to reduce exposure across every faucet and shower in their home.
Most Postil families find out about trans-1,2-dichloroethylene from a water test or their water utility report rather than by seeing or tasting it. This contaminant is dissolved in the water and won’t be trapped by simple sediment screens or standard cartridge filters aimed at dirt and rust. It can also off-gas into indoor air when hot water is used, so treating only one tap gives incomplete protection; installing treatment at the main line helps safeguard drinking, cooking, showering, and laundry throughout the house.
The most effective single-filter choice for a whole-house system targeting trans-1,2-dichloroethylene is a quality activated carbon filter, typically using granular activated carbon (GAC) and designed for adequate contact time. Activated carbon adsorbs many VOCs onto its surface as water flows through, which is why it’s commonly recommended for solvent-related contaminants. When sized correctly for a Postil home, a whole-house carbon tank delivers treated water to every tap instead of only the kitchen sink—important for reducing VOC exposure during showers and other frequent uses.
Carbon performance depends on system design, so choose a whole-house carbon unit based on your household flow rate, the carbon bed volume, and the contact time water will have with the media. Larger carbon beds and slower flow generally enhance VOC removal, while undersized systems can allow earlier breakthrough under heavy use. Mr. Pure Water can match the proper carbon configuration to your Postil plumbing demands and recommend maintenance and media replacement schedules so the whole-house activated carbon filter continues reducing trans-1,2-dichloroethylene reliably.
