Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can appear in water in low concentrations without any noticeable taste or odor. Known also as PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to dry-cleaning and manufacturing uses. Because you won’t necessarily detect it at the tap, Dogtown homeowners benefit from learning where it can originate and what treatment options are normally used to manage it.
PCE is volatile, so it can transfer from water into your home’s air during everyday activities — showering, bathing, and dishwashing can all increase exposure. Whether Dogtown residents receive water from a utility or rely on a private well, testing practices and treatments differ; private well owners carry the testing responsibility. Taking a whole-house perspective helps control perchloroethylene at the point it enters your plumbing before it spreads through living spaces.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a residence, whole-house activated carbon systems are typically the single-filter choice that performs best. Carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene readily volatilizes, treating water at Dogtown homes’ point of entry also cuts down on what can be released during showers and other household uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture.
Sizing the carbon unit correctly matters because contact time and flow rate determine how effectively PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon is usually placed before the plumbing splits to protect bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry lines in one pass. In many homes a sediment prefilter can extend carbon life by catching particulates first, while the carbon stage does the main work removing perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house activated carbon system for Dogtown properties based on household water use and plumbing layout.
