Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can sometimes be present in water supplies at low levels without any noticeable taste or odor. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly tied to manufacturing and dry-cleaning operations. Glendale homeowners should know where contamination can originate and how utilities typically address it so they can decide whether further treatment at home is warranted.
Because PCE can volatilize from water into indoor air, your exposure in Glendale isn’t limited to drinking — everyday activities like showering, bathing, and running the dishwasher can release it into your home’s air. If you receive municipal water, local testing and treatment practices may differ; if you rely on a private well, testing is your responsibility. In either case, treating water where it enters your Glendale house helps reduce both ingestion and inhalation pathways.
To lower perchloroethylene throughout a Glendale home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water moves through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating it at the point of entry also reduces what can off-gas during showers and other uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture in the house.
Sizing matters for whole-house carbon — contact time and flow rate determine how well PCE is removed. Typical installations place the carbon unit before the plumbing branches so bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen lines in your Glendale home are all protected. A sediment prefilter can extend the life of the carbon by preventing early clogging, while the carbon stage performs the main perchloroethylene removal; Mr. Pure Water can help select the right system for your household’s needs and layout.
