Including filter system and high-performance Vinyl Chloride filter.
Vinyl chloride is a synthetic chemical tied to plastics production that can end up in drinking water when certain industrial solvents break down or materials slowly leach. Because it usually doesn't alter taste, smell, or appearance, homeowners in Footman might not notice it without lab testing. The reliable way to find out is a water test that screens for volatile organic compounds (VOCs); if vinyl chloride shows up, it's wise to consider steps to lower exposure throughout your house.
Even if concerns start at the kitchen faucet, vinyl chloride can influence everyday tasks like cooking, making coffee, brushing teeth, and filling pet bowls. Many families around Footman prefer a whole-house solution so every tap delivers treated water, not just a single point-of-use filter. That approach also helps reduce potential presence in water for bathing and laundry — practical protection that fits our humid subtropical area and typical household needs.
For treating vinyl chloride in a whole-house installation, a catalytic activated carbon tank is the most effective single-filter option. Activated carbon removes many organic contaminants through adsorption as water flows through the media, and catalytic carbon is selected when stronger VOC performance and faster reaction sites are desired. Because vinyl chloride is handled as a VOC, carbon-based adsorption is a primary, proven method, and a correctly sized tank ensures adequate contact time for meaningful reduction.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house catalytic carbon systems at the point where water enters Footman homes so treated water reaches showers, sinks, and appliances from one central unit. The carbon media will eventually become saturated and should be replaced on a schedule determined by your water use and test results to keep performance steady. We recommend testing before and after installation to confirm the system is achieving the reduction you expect.
