Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene can appear in water supplies at very low concentrations and often shows up without any noticeable taste or smell. Known also as PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial uses and dry-cleaning operations. Because it can enter household plumbing unnoticed, Garnier homeowners benefit from knowing where it may come from and what treatment options exist to keep it out of the water that reaches every faucet.
Perchloroethylene is volatile, so it can transfer from water into the air in your home during everyday tasks like showering, bathing, or doing dishes, meaning inhalation and skin contact are possible exposure routes. Whether your Garnier residence is on a public system or a private well, testing and treatment responsibilities differ, but addressing the contamination where water enters the house is the most effective way to limit household exposure.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a Garnier home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the most effective single-filter solution. Quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene can volatilize during use, treating water at the point of entry helps prevent release into indoor air and delivers treated water to every fixture, not just a single tap.
Sizing the carbon filter correctly for your Garnier home matters because contact time and flow rate determine how well PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon systems are typically placed before the plumbing splits to protect bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry lines all at once. In many installations a sediment prefilter is added to extend the carbon bed’s life, while the carbon stage performs the main removal of perchloroethylene; Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for your household’s water use and plumbing layout.
