Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can appear in water supplies at low concentrations without any noticeable taste or smell. You might see it called PCE, PERC, or tetrachloroethylene, names commonly linked to dry-cleaning and other industrial uses. Because it can enter household plumbing unseen, Bratt homeowners who want to protect their family and plumbing should start by learning where it can come from and the standard ways it’s treated.
Perchloroethylene can off-gas from water into indoor air during everyday activities, so exposure isn’t limited to what you drink. In Bratt homes, showering, bathing, and dishwashing can all increase contact with volatile organic compounds like PCE. If you’re served by a utility, testing and treatment practices vary; private well owners are responsible for testing. Either way, taking a whole-house viewpoint helps address contamination where water first enters your Bratt property.
To reduce perchloroethylene across an entire home, a whole-house activated carbon system is usually the best single-filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water moves through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry in Bratt also cuts down on what may be released during showers and other daily uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture.
Sizing a carbon filter correctly matters because contact time and flow rate determine how well PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon is typically placed before the plumbing branches so it protects bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines throughout a Bratt home. A sediment prefilter can extend carbon life in some systems, but the carbon stage does the main removal for perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon setup based on your household’s water use and plumbing layout.
