Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
PCBs are a group of industrial chemicals that linger in the environment and can sometimes be detected in water supplies. Also called polychlorinated biphenyls, they were commonly used in older electrical gear and certain manufacturing processes. Once they enter waterways, PCBs are slow to break down and can persist in sediments or surface waters for a long time. In Atlantis and nearby Palm Beach County communities, homeowners often hear about them through utility notices, local conversations, or private water testing.
Because PCBs usually occur at very low concentrations, you won’t be able to see, taste, or smell them in tap water. They can reach drinking water via historic contamination, disturbed sediments, or runoff that carries pollutants into local canals, lagoons, and other surface sources. Even when water looks clear in Atlantis homes, questions about long-term exposure and everyday use—cooking, bathing, laundry—are understandable. A whole-house system treats all water entering your plumbing, protecting every faucet rather than just a single point.
The most effective single-filter option for PCBs in a whole-house install is high-quality activated carbon—typically catalytic carbon or a dense carbon block—because these media strongly adsorb hydrophobic organic compounds. PCBs are better captured by carbon than by simple sediment filters, so as water flows through the carbon bed the polychlorinated biphenyls stick to the carbon surface and are reduced before reaching taps. A whole-house carbon stage also improves overall water quality by removing other organic contaminants that behave similarly.
To work well for an Atlantis residence—where municipal water in Palm Beach County is commonly hard—an activated carbon PCB filter needs adequate contact time and sufficient media volume to handle your peak flow. It’s common to pair a sediment pre-filter upstream to protect the carbon from early clogging, but the carbon stage does the heavy lifting for PCBs. Correct system sizing and regular media or cartridge changes are essential because adsorption capacity will eventually be used up. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your home and recommend a whole-house carbon system sized to treat water at the point it enters your plumbing.
