Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can appear in water supplies at low levels without any noticeable taste or odor. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning applications. Because you won’t necessarily detect it at the tap, Greensboro homeowners benefit from knowing where it can originate and how utilities and filtration typically address it so you can plan the right response for your property.
Perchloroethylene can transfer from water into indoor air during everyday activities, so exposure isn’t limited to drinking — showering, bathing, and running the dishwasher can all release VOCs into your home. Whether your Greensboro residence is on a municipal system or a private well, testing and treatment practices differ; private well owners carry the testing responsibility. A whole-house strategy catches contaminants at the point they enter your plumbing, helping reduce both ingestion and inhalation risks for everyone in the house.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a Greensboro 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 flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry also lowers what can be released during showers and other household uses, delivering improved water to every faucet and fixture.
Sizing the carbon filter correctly matters because contact time and flow rate determine how well PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon units are typically placed before the plumbing splits so bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines in Greensboro homes are all protected. In many installations a sediment prefilter is added to extend the carbon’s lifespan, while the carbon stage does the main removal of perchloroethylene — Mr. Pure Water can help select the right system for your home’s layout and water use.
