Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
PCBs are a group of industrial chemicals that persist in the environment and can occasionally make their way into water sources. Also called polychlorinated biphenyls, they were commonly used in older electrical gear and certain manufacturing operations. Once released into waterways, PCBs break down slowly and can remain at trace levels for long periods. Altha homeowners typically hear about them from utility updates, neighbors, or private testing of well or tap water.
Because PCBs are usually present at very low concentrations, you won’t detect them by sight, smell, or taste in your tap water. They can enter drinking water through past contamination, disturbed sediments, or runoff that carries pollutants into surface sources. Even when water appears clear in Altha homes, it’s reasonable to be concerned about long-term exposure from everyday uses. Installing whole-house treatment protects water used for cooking, bathing, laundry, and other daily tasks—not just a single faucet.
The best single-filter choice for a whole-house system targeting PCBs is a high-quality activated carbon filter, typically using catalytic carbon or a carbon block engineered for strong adsorption. Because PCBs are hydrophobic organic compounds, they are well captured by carbon media rather than by basic sediment filters. As municipal or well water flows through the carbon, polychlorinated biphenyls adhere to the media and are reduced before water reaches your pipes and fixtures. A whole-house carbon stage also helps lower many other organic contaminants that travel with similar pollution sources.
For reliable removal in an Altha home, a carbon PCB filter must provide adequate contact time and sufficient media volume for your household flow, so treatment holds up during peak demand. It’s common to pair a sediment pre-filter upstream to protect the carbon from premature clogging, while the carbon stage does the primary removal work. Correct sizing and scheduled cartridge or media replacement are essential because adsorption capacity is finite. Mr. Pure Water will size and install a whole-house carbon system tailored to your home so PCBs are addressed right where water enters your plumbing.
