Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
PCBs are industrial chemicals that persist in the environment and can sometimes turn up in drinking water supplies. Also called polychlorinated biphenyls, they were commonly used in older electrical gear and various manufacturing processes. Once they enter waterways, PCBs break down slowly and can remain in sediments and water for a long time. In Olive, homeowners typically hear about them through water quality reports, neighborhood conversations, or private testing of well or tap water.
Because PCBs usually occur at trace concentrations, you won’t be able to detect them by sight, smell, or taste in your tap water. They can reach source waters from legacy contamination, disturbed sediments, or runoff that carries pollutants into surface supplies. Even when water looks clear in Olive faucets, people often worry about cumulative exposure from cooking, bathing, and laundry. That’s why addressing water at the whole-house level makes sense — it protects every tap and appliance, not just a single point of use.
The most effective single-filter option for whole-house PCB removal is a high-quality activated carbon system, typically using catalytic carbon or a carbon block designed for strong adsorption. PCBs are hydrophobic organic compounds, so they are best captured by carbon media rather than by sediment filters. As your Olive household water flows through the carbon, polychlorinated biphenyls adhere to the carbon surface and are reduced before reaching your plumbing. A whole-house carbon filter also often lowers other organic contaminants that travel with similar sources.
To work reliably for an Olive home, an activated carbon PCB filter needs sufficient contact time and enough media for your peak flow rates. It’s common to pair a sediment pre-filter upstream to protect the carbon from premature clogging, while the carbon stage does the bulk of the PCB removal. Correct sizing and scheduled media or cartridge changes are essential because adsorption capacity declines with use. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your home’s needs and recommend a whole-house carbon system sized and serviced to treat incoming water where it enters your plumbing.
