Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can appear in water at low levels without any noticeable taste or odor. Known also as PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning activities. While you might not detect it at the tap, it’s not a contaminant you want circulating through every fixture in a Brownsdale home. The first step is knowing potential sources and typical treatment approaches so you can decide what’s right for your family.
Because perchloroethylene can off-gas from water into indoor air, exposure can occur during more than just drinking — showers, baths and dishwashing can all release volatile organic compounds. Whether your Brownsdale residence is on a municipal supply or a private well, testing and treatment practices vary; private well owners carry the testing responsibility. Using a whole-house strategy helps intercept PCE at the point it enters your home, reducing both water and air pathways.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a house, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry in your Brownsdale home also cuts down on what can be released during showers and other water use. The outcome is treated water delivered to every faucet and fixture, not just one sink.
Sizing the carbon filter correctly matters because contact time and flow rate determine how well PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon systems are typically placed before the plumbing splits to protect bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines across a Brownsdale home. In many installations, a sediment prefilter helps prolong the carbon’s life by keeping particulates out, while the carbon stage does the bulk of perchloroethylene removal. Mr. Pure Water can help recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for your household’s water use and plumbing layout.
