Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can be present in water at low levels without any taste or odor that homeowners would notice. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning activities. While you might not detect it at the tap, its presence in your plumbing is something to take seriously—first by knowing potential sources and then by considering how it’s normally treated to keep your Florence household’s water safer.
Because PCE can transfer from water into the air inside your home, exposure isn’t limited to drinking — everyday activities like showering, bathing, and washing dishes can increase contact with volatile organic compounds such as perchloroethylene. Whether your Florence property is on a municipal system or a private well, testing frequency and treatment differ; private well owners shoulder testing responsibility. For many local homeowners, a whole-house solution is a practical way to address PCE where it first enters your home’s plumbing.
To lower perchloroethylene throughout the entire house, a whole-house activated carbon system is typically the single best filter option. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs including PCE/PERC as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry in a Florence home also helps reduce what can be released during showers and other uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture instead of only one sink.
Sizing the carbon system correctly matters because contact time and flow rate determine how effectively PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon is usually installed at the main line before the plumbing branches so it protects bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen lines together. In some homes a sediment prefilter can extend the life of the carbon by preventing premature clogging, while the carbon stage does the primary work removing perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water in Florence can help select the right whole-house carbon system for your household’s water use and plumbing layout.
