Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
PCBs are persistent industrial chemicals—also called polychlorinated biphenyls—that can linger in the environment and sometimes enter local water sources. They were commonly used in older electrical gear and various manufacturing processes, and when they get into waterways they break down very slowly. Edgewood homeowners may first hear about PCBs through utility notices, neighborhood conversations, or private water testing, and it’s helpful to understand how these compounds behave in groundwater and surface water in our part of Orange County.
Because PCBs are usually present at very low concentrations, you won’t detect them by sight, smell, or taste in tap water. They can reach drinking water through past contamination, disturbed sediments, or runoff that carries pollutants into lakes and aquifers near Edgewood. Even if your water appears clear, concerns about long-term exposure and everyday household use are valid—especially in a humid subtropical area where year-round irrigation and outdoor water use are common. A whole-house system treats all the water used for cooking, bathing, laundry, and other routines, not just a single faucet.
The most effective single-filter solution for PCBs in a whole-house installation is a high-quality activated carbon filter, typically using catalytic carbon or carbon block media designed for strong adsorption. PCBs are hydrophobic organic compounds, so they’re well suited to capture by carbon media rather than basic sediment screens. As Edgewood water flows through the carbon bed, polychlorinated biphenyls can adhere to the carbon surface and be reduced before reaching your taps, while the same carbon stage also helps reduce other similar organic contaminants.
To work properly, a whole-house activated carbon PCB filter needs sufficient contact time and enough media volume to handle your home’s peak flow—especially important in hard-water areas like central Florida where mineral scale can affect plumbing. A sediment pre-filter is commonly installed upstream to protect the carbon from premature clogging, but the carbon stage does the primary removal. Routine sizing and timely media or cartridge replacement matter because adsorption capacity declines over time; Mr. Pure Water can size and install a whole-house carbon system suited to Edgewood homes so PCBs are treated where water enters your plumbing.
