Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can show up in water supplies in small amounts, and homeowners may never notice it by taste or smell. It is also known as PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, and it’s most often associated with industrial and dry-cleaning uses. When it’s present in water, it can be a concern because it’s not something you want flowing to every tap. A clear plan starts with understanding where it can come from and how it’s typically treated.
Because PCE can move from water into indoor air during everyday use, your exposure is not limited to drinking. Showering, bathing, and washing dishes can all increase contact with volatile organic compounds like perchloroethylene. If you’re on municipal water, routine testing and treatment may vary, and if you’re on a private well, the responsibility for testing is yours. Either way, a whole-house approach can help address it where it enters your home.
For reducing perchloroethylene throughout the home, a whole-house activated carbon system is typically the most effective single-filter option. High-quality carbon media is well-suited for adsorbing many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water passes through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating it at the point of entry also helps reduce what can be released during showers and other water use. The result is cleaner water delivered to every fixture, not just one sink.
A properly sized carbon filter is important, since contact time and flow rate affect how well PCE is captured. Whole-house carbon is often installed before the home’s plumbing branches so it can protect bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen lines at once. In some homes, adding a sediment prefilter can help keep the carbon bed from clogging early, but the carbon stage does the primary removal work for perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can match the right whole-house carbon system to your household’s usage and plumbing layout.
