Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can appear in water without any noticeable taste or odor, and homeowners often don’t realize it’s there. You may also know it as PCE, PERC, or tetrachloroethylene; its common uses include industrial processes and dry cleaning. Because it can enter household plumbing, it’s worth knowing where it can come from and how water systems typically address it — especially here in Ave Maria, where homes in Collier County rely on plumbing that can be affected by our hard Southwest Florida groundwater.
Perchloroethylene can off-gas from water into indoor air during everyday activities, so exposure isn’t limited to drinking; showering, dishwashing, and laundry can release volatile compounds into your home. Whether your water is provided by a utility or comes from a private well, testing and treatment practices vary, and well owners are responsible for checks. Taking a whole-house view in Ave Maria—whether you live near the Ave Maria Town Center, Maple Ridge, or Del Webb Naples—helps control contaminants at the point they enter your plumbing.
The most effective single-filter choice for treating perchloroethylene throughout a residence is a whole-house activated carbon system. Quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water moves through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, putting treatment at the main water entry in Ave Maria reduces what can be released during showers and other household uses, giving every faucet and fixture cleaner water.
Sizing matters: contact time and flow rate determine how well a carbon bed removes PCE, so a properly sized whole-house carbon unit is installed ahead of the plumbing branches to protect kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry lines across Ave Maria. In areas with hard groundwater common to Southwest Florida, a sediment prefilter can extend carbon life by trapping grit and scale before it reaches the media, while the carbon stage performs the main perchloroethylene removal. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your home’s usage, plumbing layout, and local conditions to recommend the right whole-house carbon system.
