Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene can turn up in water supplies without any noticeable taste or smell, so Clarcona homeowners might not know it’s present. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, this solvent is commonly linked with industrial activities and dry-cleaning. Because you don’t want it flowing to every tap around your house—from the kitchen to outdoor spigots—it helps to understand typical sources and how treatment usually works.
PCE is volatile, which means it can move from water into the air inside your home during regular use—showering, baths, and dishwashing can all increase exposure. In Clarcona and the greater Orange County area, whether you’re on municipal supply or a private well determines who handles testing and treatment; private well owners are responsible for regular checks. A whole-house solution treats water at the point it enters your home, helping limit both ingestion and indoor air release.
The most effective single-filter choice to reduce perchloroethylene throughout a home is a whole-house activated carbon system. Quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene can off-gas during showers, treating water at the point of entry in Clarcona lessens what reaches every fixture, giving you cleaner water from every tap.
Sizing matters: contact time and flow rate determine how well carbon captures PCE, so a properly sized whole-house carbon system should be placed before your plumbing branches to protect bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen lines across Clarcona homes. In areas with hard groundwater like the Greater Orlando region, a sediment prefilter can extend carbon life by keeping particulates out of the media, while the carbon stage remains responsible for primary perchloroethylene removal. Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for your household’s water use and plumbing layout.
