Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can sometimes be found in water in trace amounts without any noticeable taste or odor. Known also as PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to dry-cleaning and manufacturing uses. Because it can travel into household plumbing unnoticed, Century homeowners benefit from understanding likely sources and the typical treatment options so you can plan how to keep it out of your taps.
Perchloroethylene can move from contaminated water into indoor air during everyday activities, so exposure isn’t limited to what you drink. Showers, baths and dishwashing can release volatile organic compounds like PCE into your home’s air. Whether your Century property is on a public system or a private well, testing routines and treatments differ; private well owners in particular carry the responsibility to check their water. A whole-house solution treats water at the point it enters your home, addressing contamination before it reaches fixtures and indoor air.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a Century home, a whole-house activated carbon system is the most effective single-filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank, and because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating at the point of entry also lowers what can off-gas during showers and other uses. This approach delivers treated water to every faucet and appliance, not just an individual sink.
Sizing matters: contact time and flow rate determine how well a carbon bed captures PCE. Whole-house carbon systems are usually placed before the plumbing branches so they protect bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines across the home. In some Century houses, a sediment prefilter can extend carbon life by keeping particulates out of the media, while the carbon stage performs the main perchloroethylene removal. Mr. Pure Water can help select a whole-house carbon system matched to your household’s usage and plumbing layout.
