Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
PCBs are a group of industrial chemicals that persist in the environment and can sometimes enter water supplies. Also called polychlorinated biphenyls, they were commonly used in older electrical equipment and certain manufacturing processes. Once PCBs reach waterways they can be slow to break down and may remain at trace levels for long periods. In Midway, homeowners typically hear about them through utility notices, neighbors, or private water testing.
Because PCBs usually occur at very low concentrations, you won’t detect them by sight, smell, or taste in tap water. They can get into drinking sources from historical contamination, disturbed sediments, or runoff carrying pollutants into surface waters. Even if Midway tap water looks clear, people still worry about long-term exposure and everyday household uses. A whole-house filtration strategy protects water used for cooking, bathing, laundry and all daily tasks — not just a single faucet.
The most effective single-filter choice for a whole-house system targeting PCBs is a high-quality activated carbon filter, typically using catalytic carbon or a carbon block engineered for strong adsorption. Because PCBs are hydrophobic organic compounds, they’re well suited to capture on carbon media rather than caught by basic sediment filters. As Midway water flows through the carbon bed, polychlorinated biphenyls can adhere to the carbon surface and be reduced before reaching your plumbing, while also lowering other similar organic contaminants.
To work reliably for a Midway home, an activated carbon PCB filter needs adequate contact time and enough media volume to handle your peak flow. It’s common to pair a sediment pre-filter upstream so the carbon doesn’t clog prematurely, but the carbon stage does the bulk of the PCB removal. Correct sizing and regular cartridge or media replacement are key because adsorption capacity will be used up over time. Mr. Pure Water can size and install a whole-house carbon system for your Midway property so PCBs are addressed where water enters your home.
