Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can sometimes turn up in water without any noticeable taste or odor, which makes it easy to miss in a home. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial uses and dry-cleaning. When it’s in your water, you don’t want it running to every faucet in your Cox home. The first step is knowing the likely sources and how water systems typically address this contaminant.
Because PCE can volatilize from water into indoor air, exposure can happen during everyday activities beyond drinking — showers, baths, and dishwashing can all increase contact with volatile organic compounds like perchloroethylene. Whether your Cox residence is on a municipal supply or a private well, testing schedules and treatments differ; well owners are responsible for testing. Taking a whole-house perspective helps control what enters and moves through your living spaces.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout your property, 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 passes through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry in your Cox home also cuts down on what can be released during showers and other uses. The end result is cleaner water to every plumbing fixture, not just a single tap.
Sizing the carbon filter correctly matters because contact time and flow rate influence how well PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon systems are typically placed before the plumbing branches so bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines in Cox are all protected. In many homes a sediment prefilter helps prevent early clogging of the carbon bed, while the carbon stage does the main removal of perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon setup based on your household’s water use and plumbing layout.
