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 easily, Riomar homeowners may sometimes notice a chemical-like smell when running hot water for showers or a sink. Even without an odor, VOCs are commonly assessed at low concentrations, so many households choose a whole-house solution to limit exposure across all water used inside the home.
Most people in the Jacksonville metro area discover trans-1,2-dichloroethylene from a lab test or their utility’s report rather than by sight or taste. This contaminant is dissolved in water, so basic sediment screens and standard cartridge filters that catch rust and particles won’t remove it. It can also transfer from water into indoor air during hot-water use, so treating just one faucet won’t address showers and laundry; installing treatment at the main line gives more consistent protection for cooking, bathing, and every tap in a Riomar 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 adequate contact time. Activated carbon adsorbs many VOCs onto its large surface area as water flows through, which is why it’s commonly used for solvent-related contaminants. A properly sized whole-house carbon filter delivers treated water to every fixture in your Riomar home, helping reduce VOCs during showers and other frequent water uses.
Performance hinges on system design, so choose a whole-house carbon filter sized for your household flow rate, carbon bed volume, and sufficient contact time. Larger carbon beds and slower flow generally improve VOC removal, while undersized units risk earlier breakthrough during peak use. Mr. Pure Water can match the right carbon configuration to a Riomar home’s plumbing and moderate water hardness—helpful given local scale tendencies—and with routine maintenance and timely media replacement, a whole-house activated carbon system will provide dependable reduction of trans-1,2-dichloroethylene.
