Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can sometimes be found in water supplies at low concentrations, and you usually won’t detect it by taste or smell. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to dry-cleaning and manufacturing. For Gabriella homeowners, the first step is knowing the possible sources and the typical treatment options so you can make a sensible plan to keep this contaminant out of your household water.
Because PCE can off-gas from water into indoor air, exposures in Gabriella aren’t limited to drinking—showers, baths and running the dishwasher can all increase contact with volatile organic compounds like perchloroethylene. Whether your water comes from a municipal system or a private well, testing practices differ, and well owners in our humid subtropical climate should be especially proactive. Installing protection at the point where water enters your Gabriella home helps address the issue before it reaches taps and appliances.
The most effective single-filter choice for treating perchloroethylene throughout a house is a whole-house activated carbon system. High-quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the main entry to your Gabriella property also reduces what can be released during showers and other everyday uses, delivering improved water to every fixture instead of just one sink.
Sizing matters: contact time and flow rate influence how well a carbon bed removes PCE, so a properly sized whole-house unit is key for Gabriella residences where moderate water hardness and mineral content can contribute to scale. These systems are typically placed before plumbing branches so bathrooms, laundry and kitchens are all protected. A sediment prefilter can extend carbon life by keeping larger particles out, while the carbon stage does the main perchloroethylene removal—Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for your home’s layout and water use.
