Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent sometimes found in drinking water at low concentrations, and it often gives no obvious taste or odor that homeowners would notice. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry‑cleaning uses. Because it can reach household taps without warning, Grayvik homeowners benefit from knowing where it may originate and what treatment options are used to address it.
PCE can evaporate from water into the air during normal activities, so exposure in Grayvik isn’t limited to what you drink — showering, bathing, and running the dishwasher can all release volatile organic compounds like perchloroethylene. If your home is on a public system, treatment practices differ by utility; private well owners carry the testing responsibility themselves. Either way, intercepting contaminants at the point they enter your Grayvik home is a sensible way to reduce overall exposure.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a house, a whole‑house activated carbon system is generally the most effective single‑filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry in Grayvik helps limit what can be released into indoor air during showers and other uses, delivering cleaner water to every faucet and fixture.
Sizing matters: contact time and flow rate determine how well carbon captures PCE, so a properly sized whole‑house unit is important for Grayvik homes. These systems are usually placed before the plumbing splits so bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines are all protected. A sediment prefilter can extend carbon life in some situations, while the carbon stage handles the primary removal of perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole‑house carbon setup for your home’s layout and water use.
