Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
PCBs are a group of industrial chemicals that linger in the environment and can sometimes turn up in water sources. Also called polychlorinated biphenyls, they were commonly used in older electrical equipment and various manufacturing processes. Once released, PCBs can resist breakdown and persist in sediments and waterways for long periods. In Lorida and the surrounding Highlands County/Lake Placid area, homeowners commonly hear about contaminants through local testing, well reports, or community conversations—especially where private wells are used.
Because PCBs tend to occur at very low concentrations, you normally won’t detect them by sight, smell, or taste in tap water. They can enter drinking water via historic contamination, runoff, or disturbance of sediments in surface waters like nearby Lake Istokpoga. Even with clear water, people in Lorida may have questions about long-term exposure and everyday uses such as cooking and bathing. A whole-house filter treats all water entering your home so every faucet and appliance benefits, not just a single tap.
The best single-filter choice for whole-house removal of PCBs is a quality activated carbon system, typically using catalytic carbon or a carbon block designed for strong adsorption. Because PCBs are hydrophobic organic compounds, they’re well captured by carbon media rather than by basic sediment filters. As water flows through the carbon bed, polychlorinated biphenyls tend to adhere to the carbon surface and are reduced before water reaches your plumbing. A whole-house carbon filter also helps lower other organic contaminants that behave similarly.
For reliable PCB reduction, a carbon filter must have sufficient contact time and enough media volume to handle your home’s peak flow—important in Lorida where many residences rely on private wells and contend with hard water and mineral scale. It’s common to pair a sediment pre-filter upstream to protect the carbon from clogging, while the carbon stage does the primary removal. Routine maintenance and timed media replacement keep adsorption effective, and Mr. Pure Water can size and install a whole-house carbon system tailored to your Highland County home so PCBs are addressed at the point of entry.
