Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can appear in water supplies without any noticeable taste or odor, and homeowners often don’t realize it’s there. Known also as PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning uses. In the Canal Point and Lake Okeechobee area, where water sources and conditions can vary, the first step is understanding potential sources and how this contaminant is typically managed so you can protect water throughout your house.
Because PCE can evaporate from water into indoor air, exposures in your Canal Point home aren’t limited to drinking; everyday activities like showering, bathing, and dishwashing can increase contact with volatile organic compounds such as perchloroethylene. Municipal testing and treatment practices differ across Palm Beach County, and private well owners carry testing responsibility themselves. That’s why many local homeowners choose a whole-house strategy to treat water where it enters the property.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a Canal Point home, 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 it at the point of entry helps limit what can volatilize during showers and other water use, delivering cleaner water to every fixture rather than just a single sink.
Sizing your carbon system correctly matters because contact time and flow rate influence how well PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon is usually placed before the home’s branch plumbing so bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen lines all benefit. In Canal Point, with its humid subtropical climate and moderate water hardness, adding a sediment prefilter in front of the carbon can protect the media from premature clogging, while the carbon stage does the main perchloroethylene removal—Mr. Pure Water can help match the right system to your household’s needs.
