Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can appear in water supplies at low levels without any noticeable taste or odor. You might also hear it called PCE, PERC, or tetrachloroethylene — names commonly tied to dry-cleaning and other industrial uses. Because you wouldn’t detect it by smell, homeowners in Franjo should start by knowing possible sources and the typical treatment approaches so they can decide whether action is needed for their household water.
PCE can off-gas from water during everyday activities, so exposure isn’t limited to drinking — showering, baths, and dishwashing can release volatile organic compounds into indoor air. In Franjo, whether your supply is municipal or from a private well, testing practices and treatment responsibilities differ, so a point-of-entry, whole-house strategy is often the most practical way to limit PCE where water first comes into your home.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout the entire house, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the best single-filter choice. High-quality carbon media adsorbs a range of volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene can volatilize, treating water at the main inlet in Franjo helps lower what can be released during showers and other water uses, so every tap delivers cleaner water rather than only a single fixture.
Sizing the carbon filter correctly matters because contact time and flow rate determine how effectively PCE is captured. Whole-house carbon systems are usually placed before the home’s plumbing splits so bathrooms, laundry, and kitchens are all protected. In many installations a sediment prefilter helps preserve the carbon bed, while the carbon stage provides the primary perchloroethylene removal — Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for Franjo homes based on your plumbing and water use.
