Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can appear in water at very low concentrations without any noticeable taste or odor. Often called PCE, PERC, or tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry‑cleaning activities. Because you won’t detect it by sensory cues, Lakeside Green homeowners benefit from knowing likely sources and typical treatment options so they can plan how to keep it away from every tap.
PCE is a volatile organic compound, so it can move from water into the air during routine tasks like showering, bathing, or dishwashing—meaning exposure isn’t limited to drinking. Whether your Lakeside Green residence is on municipal supply or a private well, testing and treatment responsibilities differ; Florida’s humid subtropical climate can also encourage microbial growth in unused plumbing or storage, so confirm your source water and hardness with the serving utility. Taking a whole‑house view helps control what enters your home plumbing and what gets released into indoor air.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout the entire house, 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 water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene readily volatilizes, treating water at the point of entry in your Lakeside Green home also lowers the amount that can be released during showers and other uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture rather than just one sink.
Correct sizing matters for whole‑house carbon because contact time and flow rate determine how effectively PCE is removed. These systems are typically placed before the home’s plumbing branches so they protect kitchen, laundry and bathroom lines at once. In some setups a sediment prefilter helps prevent premature fouling of the carbon bed, while the carbon stage does the main removal of perchloroethylene—Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole‑house carbon configuration for your Lakeside Green household and plumbing layout.
