Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can occasionally enter drinking water at low levels without any noticeable taste or smell. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial uses and dry cleaning. Even when present only in small amounts, it’s not a contaminant you want running to every tap in your Lakemont house. A good first step is knowing the likely sources and the standard ways utilities and homeowners address it.
Because perchloroethylene can evaporate from water into indoor air, exposure in Lakemont may occur during everyday activities beyond drinking—showering, bathing, and washing dishes can all release volatile organic compounds like PCE. If your water comes from a municipal system, testing and treatment practices can differ; if you rely on a private well, testing is your responsibility. Treating the water where it enters your Lakemont home helps reduce both ingestion and inhalation routes of exposure.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout the house, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the single most effective filter option. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water moves through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry in your Lakemont home also lowers what can off-gas during showers and other household uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture.
Sizing a carbon filter correctly matters because flow rate and contact time determine how well PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon is typically placed before the plumbing branches so it safeguards bathrooms, the kitchen, and laundry lines across Lakemont homes that often deal with hard, mineral-rich groundwater. A sediment prefilter can prolong carbon life by removing particulates first, while the carbon stage does the main work removing perchloroethylene—Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for your household’s usage and plumbing layout.
