Including filter system and high-performance Vinyl Chloride filter.
Vinyl chloride is a synthetic chemical tied to plastics and can enter drinking water when industrial solvents break down or materials leach over time. Because it rarely changes the water’s taste, smell, or appearance, Bakers may not notice it without a VOC-focused water test. If testing flags vinyl chloride (also known as chloroethene or chloroethylene), taking steps to lower exposure around the house is a sensible next step.
Even if concerns start at a single faucet, vinyl chloride can affect everyday activities like cooking, making coffee, brushing teeth, and filling pet bowls. Many Baker homeowners choose a whole-house system so treated water reaches every tap — showers, laundry machines, and outdoor spigots included — rather than relying only on a point-of-use filter. The aim in Baker is straightforward: dependable treatment that matches your household’s water needs.
When treating vinyl chloride in a whole-house arrangement, a catalytic activated carbon tank is the most effective single-filter option. Carbon media adsorbs a wide range of organic compounds as water passes through, and catalytic carbon is selected when stronger VOC performance and faster reaction sites are desired. Because vinyl chloride behaves as a volatile organic compound, carbon-based adsorption is a primary, established method, and properly sizing the tank ensures adequate contact time for meaningful reduction.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house catalytic carbon systems so Baker homes get treated water right where it enters the house, protecting showers, sinks, and appliances with a single unit. The carbon media will need scheduled replacement as it becomes saturated — frequency depends on your water use and quality — to keep performance steady. We recommend testing before and after installation to verify the system meets your goals and gives your family the confidence you expect.
