Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
PCBs are industrial chemicals that can persist in the environment and sometimes turn up in drinking water. Also called polychlorinated biphenyls, they were commonly used in older electrical equipment and certain manufacturing processes. Once released, PCBs can linger in sediments and waterways and may be picked up by water supplies. In Old Town, homeowners typically hear about potential PCB concerns through utility notices, neighbors, or private testing, so it’s reasonable to want clear options for protecting your household water.
Because PCBs usually occur at very low concentrations, they won’t change the look, smell, or taste of tap water. They can enter water sources via historic contamination, disturbed sediments, or runoff that carries pollutants into surface waters. Even if your Old Town tap water seems fine, long‑term exposure and everyday household uses — cooking, bathing, laundry — are understandable concerns. Treating water at the point it enters your home gives protection to every faucet, not just a single drinking tap.
The best single-filter choice for handling PCBs in a whole-house system is a high-quality activated carbon filter, typically using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon block designed for adsorption. PCBs are hydrophobic organic molecules, so they’re effectively captured by carbon media rather than by simple sediment filters. As your Old Town water flows through the carbon bed, polychlorinated biphenyls can stick to the carbon surface and be reduced before reaching plumbing and fixtures. A whole-house carbon stage also improves overall water quality by removing many other organic contaminants that travel the same routes.
To work reliably for an Old Town home, an activated carbon PCB filter must provide sufficient contact time and enough media volume for your household’s peak flow. A sediment pre-filter is commonly installed ahead of the carbon to prevent premature clogging, while the carbon stage does the primary contaminant removal. Correct sizing and scheduled media or cartridge replacement are important because adsorption capacity will eventually be used up. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your plumbing and recommend a whole-house carbon system sized for your house so PCBs are addressed where water enters your home.
