Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can appear in water supplies at low levels without any noticeable taste or odor. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning applications. Because it can travel into household plumbing unnoticed, Bascom homeowners benefit from knowing typical sources and how water treatment approaches work so you can keep it out of every tap.
PCE is volatile, so it can move from water into the air inside your home during everyday activities like showering, bathing, or running the dishwasher. That means exposure isn’t limited to drinking water. Whether your Bascom property is on a public system or a private well, testing practices and treatment responsibilities differ — but addressing the contaminant where water enters the house offers the broadest protection for indoor air and plumbing fixtures.
The most effective single-filter choice for treating perchloroethylene throughout a home is a whole-house activated carbon system. High-quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Treating tetrachloroethylene at the point of entry in a Bascom home also helps reduce what can be released into the air during showers and other water uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture instead of just a single tap.
Correct sizing matters because contact time and flow rate determine how well a carbon bed captures PCE. Whole-house carbon filters are typically placed before the plumbing splits to protect bathrooms, laundry and the kitchen at once. In many installations a sediment prefilter is added to extend carbon life, while the carbon stage does the main perchloroethylene removal. Mr. Pure Water can help Bascom homeowners choose the right whole-house activated carbon system for their household’s water use and plumbing layout.
