Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can sometimes be found in water supplies at low concentrations without any noticeable taste or odor. Commonly called PCE, PERC, or tetrachloroethylene, it’s most often tied to industrial uses and dry-cleaning operations. Because it can enter household plumbing unnoticed, Lafayette homeowners benefit from knowing potential sources and the typical treatment approaches so they can keep this contaminant out of taps and appliances.
Perchloroethylene is volatile, so it can transfer from water into the air during everyday activities — showering, bathing, and dishwashing can all increase your exposure. Whether your Lafayette residence is on a public system or a private well, testing practices and treatment differ, and private well owners have a particular responsibility to monitor water quality. Taking a whole-house approach addresses PCE where water first enters your home, limiting both ingestion and inhalation routes.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout your Lafayette home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally 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 can evaporate into air, treating incoming water at the point of entry helps lower what might be released during showers and other household uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture.
Sizing and flow are important for whole-house carbon to capture perchloroethylene effectively; adequate contact time helps the media do its job. These systems are typically placed at the main water entry so bathrooms, laundry, and the kitchen all benefit. In many Lafayette homes, a sediment prefilter ahead of the carbon can extend media life by removing particulates, while the carbon stage provides the primary removal of PCE. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your household’s usage and plumbing layout to recommend the right whole-house carbon system.
