Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can appear in water in very small amounts and often goes undetected by taste or smell. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to dry-cleaning and other industrial uses. For homeowners in Berkshire Lakes, understanding where PCE can enter your plumbing and how utilities or private wells typically handle it is the first step toward protecting your household water.
Because PCE is volatile, it can transfer from water into the air inside your home during everyday activities — showers, baths, and dishwashing can increase exposure beyond just drinking water. Whether your Berkshire Lakes property is on a municipal supply or a private well, testing frequency and treatment differ, so many local homeowners choose a whole-house solution to treat water where it first comes into the home.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a Berkshire Lakes house, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene can off-gas during use, treating water at the point of entry helps lower what’s released during showers and other water activities, delivering cleaner water to every faucet and fixture.
Sizing matters for whole-house carbon filters — contact time and flow rate determine how well PCE is captured. In Berkshire Lakes homes, these systems are usually installed at the main inlet so bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines all benefit. A sediment prefilter can extend carbon life by removing grit first, but the carbon stage is the primary remover of perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can assess your household’s water use, the hard water conditions common in Collier County, and recommend the right whole-home carbon system for your plumbing layout.
