Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
PCBs are industrial chemicals that persist in the environment and are also called polychlorinated biphenyls. They were commonly used in older electrical equipment and some manufacturing, and when they reach waterways they can be slow to break down. In Bon Ami, neighbors learn about possible contamination from utility notices, community conversations, or private testing, and it’s helpful to know these compounds can remain at low levels in water over long periods.
Because PCBs are usually present in very small amounts, you won’t detect them by smell, taste, or sight in tap water. They can enter drinking water through historical contamination, disturbed sediments, or runoff that carries pollutants into surface sources. Even if Bon Ami’s tap water looks clear, homeowners often consider the potential for long-term exposure and want protection for everyday uses like cooking, bathing and laundry. A whole-house system treats all water coming into your home, not just a single faucet.
The most effective single-filter option for a whole-house setup to address PCBs is a high-quality activated carbon filter—typically catalytic carbon or a carbon block engineered for strong adsorption. Because PCBs are hydrophobic organic compounds, they’re captured more effectively by carbon media than by basic sediment filters. As water flows through the carbon, polychlorinated biphenyls can adhere to the media surface, reducing their presence before water reaches fixtures around your Bon Ami home. This carbon stage also helps remove other similar organic contaminants that may travel with PCBs.
To work reliably in a Bon Ami home, an activated carbon PCB filter needs adequate contact time and enough media for your household flow rates so it can handle peak demand. A sediment pre-filter is commonly installed ahead of the carbon to prevent premature clogging, while the carbon stage does the bulk of the PCB removal. Correct sizing and regular media or cartridge changes are important because adsorption capacity is finite. Mr. Pure Water can assess your home and recommend a whole-house carbon system sized and maintained to address PCBs where water enters your plumbing.
