Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can occur in water supplies in trace amounts without obvious taste or odor. You may also hear it called PCE, PERC, or tetrachloroethylene; it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning applications. Because you wouldn’t want it running to every tap in your Briny Breezes home, it helps to know the typical sources and how utilities or homeowners usually address it.
Perchloroethylene can off-gas from water into indoor air during normal use, so exposure isn’t limited to just drinking — showers, baths and dishwashing can all release volatile organic compounds like PCE. Whether you’re on municipal service serving Palm Beach County or managing a private well in the Briny Breezes area, testing and treatment practices differ; homeowners are responsible for private systems. Taking a whole-house view helps intercept contaminants at the point they enter your plumbing.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout the entire house, a whole-house activated carbon system is typically the single most effective filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water passes through the tank, and installing treatment at the point of entry also limits what can volatilize during showers. For Briny Breezes properties — where hard Palm Beach County water and coastal exposure can put added wear on plumbing — whole-house carbon delivers treated water to every fixture, not just one faucet.
Sizing matters: contact time and flow rate determine how well a carbon filter captures perchloroethylene. Whole-house carbon systems are usually placed before the plumbing branches so bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines in Briny Breezes are all protected. A sediment prefilter can be useful in hard-water areas to preserve the carbon bed, but the carbon stage is the primary remover for tetrachloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can help select the right whole-house carbon setup for your home’s usage and piping layout.
