Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
PCBs are industrial chemicals that persist in the environment and can sometimes be detected in water supplies. Also called polychlorinated biphenyls, they were used in older electrical gear and various manufacturing processes. Once PCBs reach waterways they can be slow to break down and may linger in sediments and water over long periods. Century homeowners typically hear about them from utility notices, local conversations, or private testing of household water.
Because PCBs often occur at trace levels, you won’t be able to see, smell, or taste them in your tap water. They can enter drinking sources via legacy contamination, disturbed sediment, or runoff that carries pollutants into surface waters. Even with clear-looking water, questions about chronic exposure and everyday household uses—cooking, bathing, laundry—are understandable. A whole-house filtration strategy protects all water that enters your Century home, not just a single tap.
The most effective single-filter whole-house solution for PCBs is a high-quality activated carbon system, typically using catalytic carbon or carbon block media engineered for strong adsorption. Because PCBs are hydrophobic organic compounds, carbon media captures them far better than simple sediment filters. As your home’s water flows through the carbon bed, polychlorinated biphenyls can adhere to the media and be reduced before water reaches your plumbing and fixtures. This whole-house carbon approach also lowers many other organic contaminants that travel with similar sources.
For reliable PCB removal, the carbon stage needs adequate contact time and sufficient media volume to handle your home’s peak flow, so adsorption remains effective during heavy use. A sediment pre-filter is commonly installed upstream to protect the carbon from early fouling, while scheduled cartridge or media replacements restore capacity as it becomes spent. Mr. Pure Water can size and install a whole-house carbon system for Century homes, ensuring the filter matches your plumbing and usage so PCBs are addressed where water enters your house.
