Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene can turn up in water in very small amounts without any noticeable taste or odor, so many homeowners don’t realize it’s there. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, this solvent is commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning uses. On properties in Harlem and nearby Hendry County, it helps to know the typical sources and treatments so you can plan how to keep it out of every tap.
Because PCE can off-gas from water into indoor air, everyday activities like showering, bathing, and dishwashing can increase household exposure beyond just drinking. If your water comes from a municipal system testing schedule may vary, and private well owners around Harlem — especially with our humid subtropical climate and storm-season flooding risks — are responsible for testing their own supply. A whole-house strategy treats water where it enters the plumbing, helping reduce both ingestion and airborne exposure.
To reduce perchloroethylene at every faucet, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the single-filter choice most effective for homes. Quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water moves through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry in your Harlem home also helps limit what’s released during showers and other water use, so cleaner water reaches every fixture.
Sizing a carbon system correctly matters because contact time and flow rate determine how well PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon is usually placed before the plumbing splits to protect bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry lines across the house. In hard-water areas like much of inland South Florida, a sediment prefilter can extend the life of the carbon by trapping scale and particulates before they reach the media. Mr. Pure Water can help Harlem homeowners choose the right whole-house carbon system for their water usage and plumbing layout.
