Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
PCBs are a group of industrial chemicals that can persist in the environment and sometimes make their way into water sources. Also called polychlorinated biphenyls, they were commonly used in older electrical gear and certain manufacturing. Because they break down slowly, PCBs can remain in sediments and waterways for a long time. Lowry homeowners typically hear about them from utility notices, neighbors, or private testing, and it’s understandable to want clear information about what that means for your household.
Most of the time PCBs are present at very low concentrations that you cannot detect by smell, taste, or sight. They can enter drinking water through legacy contamination, sediment disturbance, or runoff that carries pollutants into surface waters. Even if Lowry tap water appears clear, homeowners may still worry about long-term exposure from everyday uses like cooking, bathing, and laundry. A whole-house system treats water at the point it enters your home so every faucet and appliance benefits, not just a single tap.
The single most effective whole-house filter for PCBs is a high-quality activated carbon unit—typically catalytic carbon or a carbon block designed for strong adsorption. Because PCBs are hydrophobic organic compounds, they are well captured by carbon media rather than by simple sediment filters. As municipal or well water moves through the carbon bed, polychlorinated biphenyls adhere to the carbon surface and are reduced before the water reaches your plumbing. A whole-house carbon system also helps Lower overall organic load, improving water used throughout Lowry homes.
For reliable PCB removal, a carbon filter must provide sufficient contact time and enough media for your household flow, so it treats water effectively during peak demand. It’s common to pair a sediment pre-filter upstream to protect the carbon from early clogging, while the carbon stage does the bulk of the PCB removal. Media capacity is finite, so proper sizing and scheduled replacement keep the system working as intended. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your Lowry property and recommend a whole-house carbon system sized to your needs so PCBs are addressed where water first enters your home.
