Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
PCBs are a group of industrial chemicals that resist breaking down and can show up in water supplies. Also called polychlorinated biphenyls, they were commonly used in older electrical equipment and some manufacturing. Once they get into waterways or aquifers, they can persist at low levels for long periods. In Modello, homeowners hear about PCBs from utility reports, neighborhood conversations, or results from private well testing, since some properties draw from municipal systems and others rely on wells.
Because PCBs usually occur at very low concentrations, you won’t detect them by sight, smell, or taste. They can reach drinking water through legacy contamination, disturbed sediments, or runoff that carries pollutants into surface sources. Even in South Florida’s warm, humid climate where water looks clear, concerns about long-term exposure and everyday uses—cooking, bathing, and laundry—are understandable. Treating water at the point it enters your Modello home ensures protection across all taps, not just a single faucet.
For whole-house PCB reduction, a high-quality activated carbon filter is the most effective single-filter solution; catalytic carbon or carbon block media are commonly used because of their strong adsorption properties. PCBs are hydrophobic organic chemicals, so they’re captured more effectively by carbon media than by simple sediment filters. As water flows through the carbon, polychlorinated biphenyls adhere to the media and are reduced before water reaches your plumbing. That carbon stage also helps lower other organic compounds that travel with similar contamination sources.
To work well for a Modello household, an activated carbon system must provide sufficient contact time and media volume for your peak flow, and many installations pair a sediment pre-filter upstream to protect the carbon bed. The carbon stage does the heavy lifting for PCBs, but its adsorption capacity will decline over time, so correct sizing and regular media or cartridge changes are essential. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your water source—municipal or private well—and recommend a whole-house carbon system sized to your home to address PCBs where water first enters your pipes.
