Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are industrial chemicals that persist in the environment and can occasionally be detected in water supplies. Once used in older electrical equipment and various manufacturing processes, PCBs don’t break down easily and can remain in sediments or waterways for years. In the Orlando area homeowners typically hear about them through utility reports, neighborhood conversations, or private water testing, and they can be carried into sources by runoff or disturbance of contaminated sediments.
Because PCBs are usually present at very low concentrations, you won’t be able to see, taste, or smell them in your tap water in Orlando — even if they’re there. They can reach drinking water through historical contamination, runoff during heavy seasonal rains, or other sources that affect surface waters. That’s why a whole-house solution is useful: it treats the water used for cooking, bathing, laundry and every other household task, not just a single kitchen faucet.
The best single-filter option for removing PCBs in a whole-house system is activated carbon — typically catalytic carbon or a carbon block designed for strong adsorption. PCBs are hydrophobic organic compounds, so they bind well to carbon media rather than being stopped by sediment filters. As Orlando water flows through a properly sized carbon bed, polychlorinated biphenyls can adhere to the carbon surface and be reduced before reaching showers, sinks, and appliances, while also helping reduce other similar organic contaminants.
An activated carbon PCB filter only performs well if it provides sufficient contact time and media volume for your home’s peak flow — in Orange County homes that means accounting for moderate water hardness and higher summer usage. A sediment pre-filter is commonly installed ahead of the carbon stage to prevent premature clogging, and regular media or cartridge replacement is necessary because adsorption capacity is finite. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your Orlando home and size a whole-house carbon system so the carbon stage treats incoming water where it enters your plumbing.
