Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene can occur in drinking water at low levels without any noticeable taste or odor, so homeowners often don’t realize it’s present. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, this solvent is commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning activities. In Broward County, where much of the area draws on the Biscayne Aquifer and household water is often hard, it’s useful to know potential sources and how water is typically treated so you can plan protection for your family and plumbing.
Because PCE is volatile, it can move from water into the air in your home during everyday tasks — showering, bathing, or running the dishwasher can release these vapors. Whether you’re on municipal supply or a private well in Broward County, testing schedules and treatments differ, and well owners are responsible for checking their water. For many Broward homes, a whole-house strategy helps stop contaminants at the point they enter your plumbing, reducing both ingestion and airborne exposure.
To lower perchloroethylene throughout the entire house, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the best single-filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene can volatilize during showers and other water use, installing carbon at the point of entry in Broward County homes helps reduce what reaches every fixture, not just a single sink.
Sizing and placement matter: contact time and flow rate determine how effectively a carbon tank removes PCE. Whole-house carbon systems are usually placed before the plumbing branches so bathrooms, laundry areas, and kitchens across Broward County properties are protected. In homes with hard water, a sediment prefilter can prevent premature clogging of the carbon bed, while the carbon stage does the bulk of PCE removal. Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for your household use and plumbing layout.
