Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that sometimes appears in water supplies in very small amounts and often goes undetected because it usually has no distinctive taste or smell. Known also as PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly tied to industrial and dry-cleaning activities. For Avalon homeowners, understanding likely sources and typical treatment approaches is the first step toward keeping that compound out of your taps and plumbing.
Because PCE can transfer from water into indoor air during everyday tasks, exposure isn’t limited to drinking water; showering, bathing, and running the dishwasher can all increase contact with volatile organic compounds like perchloroethylene. Whether your Avalon property is on a public system or a private well, testing practices and treatment responsibilities differ, so many local homeowners choose a whole-house strategy to reduce the contaminant where water first enters the home.
To lower perchloroethylene across every faucet in your Avalon home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water moves through the tank, and because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry also helps limit what’s released during showers and other uses. The outcome is treated water to every fixture instead of protection at only one tap.
Sizing the carbon filter to your household’s flow rates and usage is key since contact time affects how well PCE is captured. Whole-house carbon systems are typically placed before the plumbing branches so bathrooms, laundry, and the kitchen are all protected; in many homes a sediment prefilter can extend the life of the carbon by preventing early clogging. Mr. Pure Water in Avalon can assess your plumbing and recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for your family’s needs.
