Including filter system and high-performance PCBs filter.
PCBs are industrial chemicals that resist breaking down and can linger in the environment, sometimes turning up in water supplies. Also called polychlorinated biphenyls, they were commonly used in older electrical equipment and various manufacturing processes. When these compounds reach waterways, they may persist at low levels for a long time. In Peck, homeowners often hear about them from utility notices, neighbors, or independent testing, so it’s worth understanding what these contaminants are and how they behave in household water.
Because PCBs usually occur at very low concentrations, you won’t be able to detect them by sight, smell, or taste in your tap water. They can enter sources through legacy contamination, disturbed sediments, or runoff that carries pollutants into surface waters. Even if Peck’s water appears clear, people can reasonably worry about long-term exposure and everyday uses like cooking, bathing, and laundry. Treating water at the whole-house level helps protect every faucet and appliance, not just a single point of use.
The most effective single-filter choice for whole-house PCB reduction is a high-quality activated carbon system, typically employing catalytic carbon or dense carbon block media made for strong adsorption. PCBs are hydrophobic organic compounds, so they’re captured more reliably by carbon media than by simple sediment filters. As Peck water flows through the carbon bed, polychlorinated biphenyls can adhere to the carbon surface and be reduced before reaching your taps, while the same system also removes many other organic contaminants with similar properties.
For reliable PCB removal, a carbon filter must offer sufficient contact time and enough media for your home’s peak flow, so it can treat water consistently during busy periods. A sediment pre-filter is often installed first to protect the carbon from premature clogging, but the carbon stage does the primary adsorption work. Routine media or cartridge changes and proper system sizing are essential because adsorption capacity is finite. Mr. Pure Water can size and install a whole-house carbon system for Peck homes so PCBs are addressed where water enters your plumbing.
