Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can appear in water at low levels without a noticeable taste or odor. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning activities. Because you wouldn’t want that kind of chemical reaching every faucet in your Island Walk house, it helps to know where it can originate and how it’s typically treated so you can make informed decisions for your family.
PCE is volatile, so it can transfer from water into indoor air during everyday tasks — showering, bathing, and dishwashing can increase your contact. Whether your water comes from a municipal source in Collier County or from a private well, testing and treatment practices differ, and well owners are responsible for monitoring. Taking a whole-house approach at the point where water enters your Island Walk home reduces the amount available to evaporate during normal use.
To reduce 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 your water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene can volatilize, treating water at the entry to your Island Walk property helps limit what’s released during showers and other uses, so every fixture — not just a single sink — gets cleaner water.
Correct sizing matters: contact time and flow rate influence how effectively carbon captures PCE. Whole-house carbon systems are typically placed before plumbing branches to protect kitchens, bathrooms and laundry alike. In areas like Southwest Florida where hard groundwater and mineral scale are common, adding a sediment prefilter can extend carbon life by reducing early fouling, while the carbon stage performs the main perchloroethylene removal. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Island Walk home’s usage and plumbing layout to recommend the right whole-house carbon system.
