Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can sometimes be found in drinking water at levels you won’t detect by taste or smell. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to dry-cleaning and other commercial uses. Because it can enter a home’s water supply, Koerber homeowners should know where it can originate and how utilities or private wells typically address it, so you can decide whether further treatment is right for your household.
Perchloroethylene can move from water into the air during everyday activities, so exposure around the house isn’t limited to drinking—showers, baths, and running the dishwasher can all release volatile compounds. Whether your Koerber residence is on a public system or a private well affects who is responsible for testing and treatment, but taking a whole-house view helps control PCE where water first enters your home.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a Koerber home, a whole-house activated carbon system is usually the single most effective 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 the amount released during showers and other uses, delivering cleaner water to every faucet and fixture in the house.
Sizing the carbon bed correctly matters for performance, since contact time and flow rate determine how well PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon systems in Koerber are often placed before the plumbing splits so bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines are all protected. A sediment prefilter can be added in some homes to extend carbon life, but the carbon stage does the main removal work for perchloroethylene — and Mr. Pure Water can help match the right whole-house carbon system to your home’s water use and layout.
