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 fluids reach groundwater. Because it vaporizes readily, you might notice a chemical-like smell when running water—hot showers and faucet use often make it more noticeable. Even if you don’t detect an odor in Wright homes, people often choose to address VOCs at low levels, and a whole-house system reduces exposure in every faucet and fixture throughout the house.
Most Wright homeowners find out about trans-1,2-dichloroethylene from a lab result or their utility’s report rather than seeing or tasting it. This contaminant dissolves into the water, so sediment filters and basic cartridges designed for dirt, rust, or hardness won’t remove it. Because it can transfer from water to indoor air during hot-water use, treating a single tap doesn’t protect the whole household; installing treatment at the main line gives consistent protection for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry across your home.
The best single-filter choice for a whole-house system targeting trans-1,2-dichloroethylene is a quality activated carbon unit—typically granular activated carbon (GAC) designed with sufficient contact time. Activated carbon adsorbs many solvent-type VOCs as water moves through the media, which is why it’s commonly used for contaminants like trans-1,2-dichloroethylene. When sized correctly for a Wright residence, a whole-house carbon filter delivers treated water to every tap, not just the kitchen sink, helping reduce VOC exposure during showers and other high-use activities.
Performance comes down to the system’s design: flow rate, carbon volume, and contact time matter for VOC removal. Larger carbon beds and slower flow through the tank generally improve reduction, while undersized units may allow earlier breakthrough under heavy use. At Mr. Pure Water in Wright, we size carbon systems to match your home’s plumbing and peak demand, and recommend regular maintenance and media replacement so your whole-house activated carbon filter continues reducing trans-1,2-dichloroethylene reliably.
