Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
PCBs are a group of industrial chemicals that persist in the environment and can occasionally be detected in water supplies; they’re also called polychlorinated biphenyls. Historically used in electrical equipment and some manufacturing, these compounds don’t break down easily and can remain in waterways for a long time. Hanson homeowners typically hear about PCBs from utility notices, neighbors, or private testing, and it’s understandable to want clear information about what they are and how they behave in local water systems.
Because PCBs usually occur at very low concentrations, you won’t be able to see, smell, or taste them in tap water. They can enter water sources through legacy contamination, disturbed sediments, or runoff that carries pollutants into surface waters. Even when drinking water looks clean in Hanson, concerns about long-term exposure for cooking, bathing and laundry are valid. Treating water at the point it enters your home gives protection for every tap and daily use, not just a single faucet.
The most effective single-filter whole-house solution for PCBs is a high-quality activated carbon system, typically using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon block designed for strong adsorption. PCBs are hydrophobic organic compounds, so they’re best captured by carbon media rather than by sediment filters alone. As municipal or well water flows through the carbon bed, polychlorinated biphenyls can stick to the carbon surface and be reduced before reaching your plumbing; this also helps lower other similar organic contaminants that travel alongside PCBs.
An activated carbon filter will work well only when it has adequate contact time and enough media for your household flow—proper sizing matters for consistent treatment during peak demand in Hanson homes. A sediment pre-filter is commonly placed ahead of the carbon to prevent premature clogging, while the carbon stage does the PCB adsorption. Regular maintenance and media or cartridge replacement are essential because adsorption capacity is finite; Mr. Pure Water can design and size a whole-house carbon system tailored to your home so PCBs are addressed where water enters your plumbing.
