Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can appear in water supplies at levels homeowners usually can’t detect by taste or smell. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly tied to industrial and dry‑cleaning uses. Because it can enter drinking water, it’s something you don’t want circulating to every faucet in your Gordon home. The first step is knowing the likely sources and the treatment options available to remove it from household water.
PCE is volatile, meaning it can leave water and enter the air inside your home during normal activities like showering or washing dishes, so exposure isn’t limited to drinking alone. Whether your Gordon property is on a public system or a private well, testing and treatment practices can differ, and private-well owners shoulder testing responsibilities. Taking a whole-house approach treats the water where it enters your home and reduces both ingestion and inhalation pathways.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout the entire plumbing system, a whole-house activated carbon filter is generally the most effective single-filter solution. Quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water moves through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene can volatilize during use, installing carbon at the point of entry helps limit what’s released during showers and daily chores, delivering cleaner water to every fixture in your Gordon home.
Proper sizing matters: contact time and flow rate determine how well a carbon filter captures PCE. Whole-house carbon systems are usually placed before the plumbing branches so bathrooms, laundry and kitchens all benefit. In many installations a sediment prefilter is added to protect the carbon bed from early clogging, while the carbon stage does the heavy lifting for perchloroethylene removal. Mr. Pure Water in Gordon can help select the right whole-house carbon system to match your household water use and plumbing layout.
