Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can occasionally be found in water supplies without any noticeable taste or smell. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial uses and dry cleaning. Because homeowners won’t necessarily detect it, understanding where it can originate and how utilities or private wells handle treatment is the first step toward protecting your Eden home’s water.
Perchloroethylene can transfer from water into the air inside your house during everyday activities, so exposure isn’t limited to what you drink. Showers, baths and dishwashing can all release volatile organic compounds like PCE into indoor air. In Eden, whether you’re on a municipal supply or a private well—where testing and responsibility differ—a whole-house strategy treats water at the point it enters your plumbing and helps reduce contact throughout the home.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout an entire house, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the most effective single-filter choice. High-quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs including PCE/PERC as water flows through the tank, and because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating at the main inlet also cuts what can be released during showers and other uses. That means every fixture in your Eden residence gets cleaner water, not just a single faucet.
Correct sizing matters: contact time and flow rate determine how well a carbon system captures PCE. Whole-house carbon is typically placed before branch plumbing so it protects bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines across the home. In many Eden houses—where moderate water hardness and whether you’re on well or municipal supply can affect system needs—adding a sediment prefilter helps preserve the carbon bed, while the carbon stage does the main removal work; Mr. Pure Water can help select the right whole-house carbon system for your plumbing and household usage.
