Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
PCBs are an industrial family of chemicals that persist in the environment and can sometimes end up in water supplies; they’re also called polychlorinated biphenyls. Historically used in electrical equipment and manufacturing, these compounds don’t break down easily and can linger in sediments and waterways. Betts homeowners may first hear about PCBs from utility notices, neighborhood conversations, or independent testing — even when there’s no obvious sign at the tap.
Because PCBs often occur at very low concentrations, you won’t be able to see, smell, or taste them in Betts tap water. They can enter drinking sources through legacy contamination, runoff, or disturbed sediments, so clear-looking water can still raise long-term exposure questions. Treating the whole house—covering cooking, bathing, and laundry—gives Betts families protection across everyday uses instead of limiting treatment to a single faucet.
The best single-filter choice for whole-house PCB reduction is a quality activated carbon system, typically using catalytic carbon or a carbon block formulated for strong adsorption. PCBs are hydrophobic organic compounds, so carbon media binds them more effectively than basic sediment filters. As your Betts water flows through the carbon, polychlorinated biphenyls tend to adhere to the media, lowering levels before water reaches plumbing and fixtures while also reducing many similar organic contaminants.
An activated carbon PCB system works well only when it’s sized for your home’s flow and provides adequate contact time and media volume; without that, adsorption can be insufficient during peak use. Often a sediment pre-filter is installed upstream to protect the carbon from early fouling, while scheduled cartridge or media changes keep performance reliable. Mr. Pure Water in Betts can evaluate your plumbing and recommend a whole-house carbon setup that’s properly sized and maintained so PCBs are addressed where water first enters your home.
