Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can sometimes find its way into drinking water at levels you won’t detect by smell or taste. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to dry-cleaning and other industrial uses. For Beverly homeowners, understanding potential sources and typical treatment methods is the first step toward keeping that contaminant out of your taps.
Because PCE can off-gas from water into indoor air, your exposure in a Beverly house can occur during showering, bathing, or dishwashing—not just when you drink water. If your home is on a private well in the Beverly area, testing is your responsibility; municipal customers should review local utility testing too. In either case, addressing contamination at the point where water enters your Beverly home helps reduce exposure throughout daily use.
The most effective single-filter choice for removing perchloroethylene from water entering your Beverly home is a whole-house activated carbon system. Carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, installing treatment at the point of entry also cuts down on what’s released into the air during showers and other household water use, delivering cleaner water to every fixture.
Sizing the carbon system correctly for your Beverly home matters because flow rate and contact time determine how effectively PCE is captured. Whole-house carbon is usually placed before the plumbing splits so bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen lines are all protected. A sediment prefilter can extend the life of the carbon by preventing premature clogging, while the carbon stage performs the primary removal of perchloroethylene—Mr. Pure Water can help select the right whole-house carbon setup for your household’s needs.
