Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can occur in water supplies at low concentrations without obvious taste or odor, so Bayview homeowners might not notice it. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, this chemical is commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning activities. When it’s present in household water it’s worth addressing, because you don’t want it coming from every tap. The first step is knowing likely sources and how water professionals typically treat it.
Because PCE can off-gas from water into indoor air during normal use, exposure in Bayview homes isn’t limited to drinking—tasks like showering, bathing, and washing dishes can increase contact with volatile organic compounds such as perchloroethylene. Municipal testing and treatments differ by utility, and private well owners are responsible for their own monitoring. Either way, tackling the issue at your home’s point of entry helps reduce PCE throughout the house.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a Bayview residence, 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. Since tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry also lowers the amount that can be released during showers and other water use, delivering cleaner water to every fixture rather than only one sink.
Sizing the carbon filter correctly matters because contact time and flow rate determine how well PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon systems are typically placed before the plumbing branches so they protect bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen lines across Bayview homes. In many installations a sediment prefilter helps preserve the carbon bed, while the carbon stage does the main work removing perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can help select the right whole-house carbon system for your household’s water use and plumbing layout.
