Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can appear in water supplies at low concentrations without any noticeable taste or odor. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked with industrial and dry-cleaning activities. Because you won’t detect it by smell, it’s worth knowing how it can enter residential water and what typical treatment options look like for homeowners in Dellwood.
Perchloroethylene can move from water into the air inside your home during routine tasks, so exposure isn’t limited to drinking alone. Showers, baths, and dishwashing can release volatile organic compounds like PCE into indoor air. Whether your Dellwood residence is on a public system or a private well, testing and treatment practices differ; taking a whole-house perspective helps control the contaminant where water first enters your home.
A whole-house activated carbon system is generally the best single-filter choice for reducing perchloroethylene throughout your Dellwood home. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating it at the point of entry also cuts down on what can off-gas during showers and other uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture rather than just one tap.
Sizing the carbon filter correctly matters because contact time and flow rate determine how effectively PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon is typically placed before the plumbing branches so bathrooms, laundry, and the kitchen are all protected. In some Dellwood homes a sediment prefilter can extend the life of the carbon bed, but the carbon stage does the main work removing perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can help select the right whole-house carbon system for your household’s water use and plumbing layout.
