Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene can appear in drinking water at very low concentrations without any noticeable taste or odor, so many homeowners don’t realize it’s present. Often called PCE, PERC, or tetrachloroethylene, this solvent is commonly linked to industrial uses and dry-cleaning. In Jerome and nearby parts of Collier County, knowing the possible sources and typical treatment options is the first step to keeping it out of your taps.
Because PCE is volatile, it can transfer from water into the air inside your home during routine activities like showering, doing laundry, or washing dishes — so exposure isn’t only from drinking. If your property in Jerome uses a private well, testing is your responsibility; municipal customers should follow local utility guidance. Either way, tackling the issue at the point where water enters your house is a practical way to lower overall household exposure.
For whole-home removal of perchloroethylene, the best single-filter choice is a whole-house activated carbon system. Proper carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as your water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene can be released into the air during showers and other uses, treating it at the point of entry helps protect every fixture in homes around Jerome and the wider Naples–Marco Island area.
Sizing the carbon tank correctly matters: contact time and flow rate determine how effectively PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon units are typically placed before the plumbing branches so bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry lines are all covered. In many Collier County homes with hard, mineral-rich groundwater, a sediment prefilter can extend carbon life by trapping sand and grit, while the carbon stage does the main work removing perchloroethylene — Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right system for your Jerome property and usage.
