Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can occasionally appear in water supplies at low levels without any noticeable taste or odor. Often called PCE, PERC, or tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry‑cleaning processes. Because it’s not something you want running through every tap in your Fairvilla home, it helps to know the typical sources and how utilities and treatment methods address it so you can make a clear plan for your household water.
PCE can transfer from water into the air in your home during everyday activities, so drinking isn’t the only route of exposure — showers, baths, and dishwashing can all release volatile organic compounds like perchloroethylene. In the Orlando/Orange County area, municipal testing and treatment practices can differ, and if your Fairvilla property uses a private well, testing is your responsibility. A whole-house strategy targets the water at the point it enters your plumbing, helping reduce PCE throughout the living space.
To reduce perchloroethylene across every tap, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the best single‑filter choice. Carbon media adsorbs many VOCs including PCE/PERC as water moves through the tank, and because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry also cuts down on what can be released into indoor air during showers and other uses. The outcome is cleaner water delivered to all fixtures in your Fairvilla home, not just a single faucet.
Correct sizing matters for a whole‑house carbon filter because contact time and flow rate determine how effectively PCE is captured. These systems are usually placed before the plumbing splits so they protect bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines throughout Fairvilla properties. In areas with moderate water hardness like the Orlando metro, a sediment prefilter can help prevent premature clogging of the carbon bed, while the carbon stage does the primary work removing perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon setup to fit your home’s water use and plumbing layout.
