Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
PCBs are a group of industrial chemicals that persist in the environment and can sometimes be detected in water. Also called polychlorinated biphenyls, these compounds were commonly used in older electrical equipment and certain manufacturing processes. When they enter waterways they break down slowly and can remain at low concentrations for long periods. Barth homeowners typically hear about PCBs through utility notices, neighborhood conversations, or private water testing.
PCBs are usually present at very low levels, so you won’t be able to see, smell, or taste them in your tap water. They can reach drinking water through historical contamination, disturbed sediments, or runoff that carries pollutants into surface supplies. Even if your water looks clear, concerns about long-term exposure and everyday uses like cooking, bathing, and laundry are understandable. A whole-house system treats the water entering your Barth home, protecting multiple uses instead of only a single faucet.
The most effective single-filter solution for whole-house PCB reduction is a high-quality activated carbon filter, commonly using catalytic carbon or carbon block media engineered for strong adsorption. Because PCBs are hydrophobic organic compounds, they are well suited to removal by carbon media rather than by basic sediment filters. As your household water flows through the carbon bed, polychlorinated biphenyls can adhere to the carbon surface and be reduced before reaching taps throughout a Barth home. This approach also helps lower many other organic contaminants that travel with similar sources.
To work reliably, an activated carbon PCB system needs adequate contact time and enough media volume to match your home’s peak flow, so the carbon can treat water consistently. A sediment pre-filter is often used upstream to protect the carbon from premature clogging, but the carbon stage does the primary removal. Correct sizing and regular cartridge or media replacement are essential because adsorption capacity is finite. Mr. Pure Water can size and install a whole-house carbon system for Barth homes to address PCBs at the point where water enters your plumbing.
