Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene can appear in water supplies at low concentrations without a noticeable taste or odor, so many homeowners won’t detect it by sensory cues. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, this solvent is commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning activities. Knowing the likely sources and how utilities or private systems treat it is the first step to keeping it out of every tap in an Athena household.
Because PCE is volatile, it can transfer from water into the air inside your home during normal tasks like showering, bathing, or running the dishwasher, meaning exposure isn’t limited to drinking water. Municipal testing and treatment practices can differ, and if you rely on a private well in Athena, arranging your own testing is important. A whole-house treatment installed at the point where water enters your home helps reduce both ingestion and vapors released during everyday water use.
To treat perchloroethylene throughout an Athena home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the single-filter choice that performs best. Carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water moves through the tank. Treating at the point of entry also limits what can volatilize during showers and other uses, so every faucet and fixture receives cleaner water rather than relying on a single point-of-use device.
Sizing the carbon tank correctly matters because contact time and flow rate influence how effectively PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon is typically placed before the plumbing splits to protect bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen lines across an Athena home. In many systems, a sediment prefilter helps prevent premature carbon fouling, while the carbon stage does the main perchloroethylene removal—Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for your household’s water use and layout.
