Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can sometimes be found at low levels in household water without any noticeable taste or smell. Often called PCE, PERC, or tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning uses. Because you won’t necessarily detect it at the tap, Centerville homeowners benefit from knowing where perchloroethylene can originate and how it’s typically handled so they can make sensible choices for their water.
Perchloroethylene can transfer from water into the air inside your home during everyday activities, so exposure isn’t limited to drinking—showers, baths, and running the dishwasher can all release these volatile compounds. Whether your Centerville property is on a public system or a private well, testing and treatment practices differ, and private well owners are responsible for monitoring. That’s why many local homeowners opt for a whole-house solution to address PCE where the water enters the house.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a Centerville home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the most effective 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 also cuts down on what can be released during showers and other household uses, so every fixture gets cleaner water—not just a single faucet.
Correct sizing matters for whole-house carbon systems because flow rate and contact time influence how well PCE is removed. Typically the carbon unit is placed before the home’s plumbing divides so bathrooms, the kitchen, and laundry are all protected. In some Centerville homes a sediment prefilter is recommended to extend the life of the carbon bed, while the carbon stage does the main work removing perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can help match the right whole-house carbon setup to your household water use and plumbing layout.
