Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent sometimes found in water supplies at levels you might not taste or smell. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial uses and dry cleaning. For Bertha homeowners concerned about anything getting into water that feeds every tap, the first step is knowing where perchloroethylene can originate and the typical ways it’s treated before it reaches your plumbing.
Perchloroethylene can off-gas from water into indoor air, so exposure isn’t limited to drinking; showers, baths and washing dishes may increase contact with VOCs like PCE. Whether your Bertha residence is on a municipal supply or a private well, testing and treatment practices differ, and if you draw from local groundwater—often hard and influenced by Florida’s limestone—you’ll want a strategy that addresses contaminants where they enter your house.
To treat perchloroethylene throughout a home, a whole-house activated carbon system is usually the best single-filter choice. Good carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene can volatilize, placing carbon at the point of entry in a Bertha home helps reduce what might be released during showers and other everyday uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture.
Sizing matters: contact time and flow rate determine how effectively a carbon system captures PCE. Whole-house carbon is typically installed before the plumbing branches so it protects bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines across your Bertha home. In hard-water areas influenced by limestone, adding a sediment prefilter can extend the life of the carbon by keeping the media cleaner, while the carbon stage provides the primary perchloroethylene removal — Mr. Pure Water can help pick the right system for your household’s usage and layout.
