Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can appear in water in low concentrations without any noticeable taste or odor, so Green Point homeowners might not know it’s present. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial applications and dry-cleaning. When it gets into household water, it’s understandable to want it stopped at the source; a good first step is learning where it can originate and how it’s generally managed.
Because perchloroethylene can evaporate from water into indoor air, exposure in a Green Point house isn’t limited to what you drink—everyday activities like showering, bathing, and dishwashing can release it into your living spaces. If your water is supplied by a utility, testing and treatment practices may differ; private well owners in and around Green Point are responsible for testing their own water. Regardless of the source, treating incoming water to the whole house helps reduce where PCE enters your home and how much reaches your family.
To lower perchloroethylene throughout the home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the best single-filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, addressing it at the point of entry in a Green Point residence also cuts down on what can be released during showers and other water uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture rather than just one tap.
Correct sizing matters for whole-house carbon systems because contact time and flow rate influence how effectively PCE is removed. These systems are typically placed before the plumbing splits so bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen lines in Green Point are all protected. In many installations, a sediment prefilter can prolong carbon life by preventing early clogging, while the carbon stage performs the main removal of perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can help select the right whole-house carbon setup for your household’s water use and plumbing layout.
