Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can sometimes be found in water supplies at low concentrations, and most people won’t detect it by taste or smell. Known also as PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked with industrial and dry‑cleaning uses. For Chason homeowners, the first step is recognizing possible sources and how utilities or private wells typically handle it, so you can plan the right protection for every tap.
Because perchloroethylene can off‑gas from water into indoor air during normal activities, exposure isn’t limited to drinking — showering, bathing, and dishwashing can all release volatile organic compounds. Whether your Chason home is on a public system or a private well, testing frequency and treatment responsibility differ, but thinking whole‑house helps address contaminants at the point they enter your plumbing.
To lower perchloroethylene throughout your Chason home, a whole‑house activated carbon system is generally the most effective single‑filter solution. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the main entry helps cut what’s released during showers and other everyday uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture rather than only a single sink.
Correct sizing matters for whole‑house carbon systems since contact time and flow rate determine how well PCE is removed. These systems are usually placed at the main water entry to protect kitchen, bathroom, and laundry lines across the house. In some Chason homes a sediment prefilter can extend carbon life by keeping the media cleaner, while the carbon stage handles the primary perchloroethylene removal — Mr. Pure Water can help select the right whole‑house carbon setup for your plumbing and household needs.
