Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
PCBs are industrial chemicals that can linger in the environment and sometimes make their way into local water sources; they’re also called polychlorinated biphenyls. These compounds were common in older electrical gear and some manufacturing, and once they reach waterways they can be slow to break down. Monkey Box homeowners usually hear about PCBs from utility notices, neighbors after heavy storms, or private testing — especially here in Florida where seasonal hurricanes and runoff can change source-water conditions.
Because PCBs often occur at very low concentrations, you won’t detect them by sight, smell, or taste. They can enter drinking water through past contamination, disturbed sediments, or storm-driven runoff, so even clear tap water may carry concerns about long-term exposure. A whole-house filter treats all the water in your Monkey Box home — the water you cook with, bathe in, and use for laundry — rather than protecting only a single tap.
The best single-filter option for a whole-house system to tackle PCBs is a high-quality activated carbon unit, typically using catalytic carbon or carbon block media formulated for strong adsorption. Because PCBs are hydrophobic organic compounds, they’re effectively captured by carbon media instead of basic sediment filters. As water flows through the carbon bed, polychlorinated biphenyls adhere to the carbon surface and are reduced before reaching your plumbing, while also lowering other similar organic contaminants that can accompany PCB sources.
An activated carbon PCB filter needs adequate contact time and enough media volume to handle your home’s peak flow, so proper sizing is key for consistent performance. It’s common to add a sediment pre-filter ahead of the carbon to prevent premature clogging, but the carbon stage is the main component for PCB removal. Because adsorption capacity is finite, cartridges or media must be replaced on schedule. Mr. Pure Water in Monkey Box can evaluate your house, account for seasonal storm impacts, and recommend a whole-house carbon system sized to treat water at the point it enters your plumbing.
