Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene can be present in water at low levels without any noticeable taste or odor, so many homeowners wouldn’t realize it’s there. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, this solvent is commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning activities. When it gets into household water, it’s understandably something you’d rather not have coming from every faucet in your Howard home. The first step is knowing where perchloroethylene can originate and how it’s usually treated so you can make an informed plan.
Because PCE can off-gas from water into indoor air, exposure isn’t limited to drinking — everyday activities like showering, bathing, and washing dishes can increase contact with volatile organic compounds such as perchloroethylene. Whether your Howard house is on municipal supply or a private well, testing frequency and treatment options differ; owners of private wells are responsible for testing. Taking a whole-house view helps intercept contaminants at the point they enter your home and reduces what’s released during normal water use in our humid subtropical climate.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout the entire 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. Treating tetrachloroethylene at the point of entry also lowers what can volatilize into the air during showers and other uses. That means every fixture in your Howard home can deliver cleaner water, not just a single sink.
Correct sizing matters because contact time and flow rate determine how well PCE is captured by carbon. Whole-house carbon systems are usually placed before the plumbing branches so bathrooms, laundry and the kitchen are all protected simultaneously. In many homes a sediment prefilter helps prevent premature clogging of the carbon bed, while the carbon stage does the heavy lifting for perchloroethylene removal. Mr. Pure Water in Howard can help select a whole-house carbon system that matches your household’s water use and plumbing layout.
