Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
Polychlorinated biphenyls, commonly called PCBs, are industrial chemicals that persist in the environment and can turn up in water supplies. These compounds were used in older electrical equipment and certain manufacturing processes, and when they enter waterways they can be slow to break down. Carlton homeowners may first hear about PCBs through utility reports, neighborhood conversations, or private testing, especially since local water quality and sources can vary from one part of town to another.
Because PCBs typically occur at very low concentrations, you won’t detect them by sight, smell, or taste in tap water. They can get into drinking sources from legacy contamination, disturbed sediments, or runoff that carries pollutants into surface water. Even with clear-looking water in your Carlton home, it’s reasonable to be concerned about long-term exposure during everyday activities; a whole-house filter treats water used for cooking, bathing, laundry and every faucet, not just the kitchen tap.
For whole-house removal of PCBs, a high-quality activated carbon filter is the single most effective option—typically using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon block designed for strong adsorption. PCBs are hydrophobic organic compounds, so they adhere well to carbon media rather than being trapped by basic sediment filters. As water flows through the carbon, polychlorinated biphenyls can stick to the surface and be reduced before reaching your plumbing, and a whole-house carbon system also helps lower other similar organic contaminants common in many Florida water sources.
An activated carbon system needs adequate contact time and enough media volume to handle your home’s peak flow for reliable PCB removal, and sediment pre-filtration is often used upstream to protect the carbon stage. Because adsorption capacity diminishes with use, correct sizing and scheduled media or cartridge replacement are important for long-term performance. Mr. Pure Water can assess Carlton homes—whether on municipal supply or private wells—and recommend a properly sized whole-house carbon system to address PCBs at the point where water enters your house.
