Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a common industrial solvent that can sometimes be present in water without any noticeable taste or odor. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s often linked to dry-cleaning and other industrial uses. Because you won’t necessarily detect it in your glass, Lakewood homeowners benefit from knowing typical sources and treatment methods so you can plan how to keep this contaminant out of your home’s water supply.
Perchloroethylene can evaporate from water into the air inside your house, so exposure isn’t limited to what you drink — showers, baths, and dishwashing can all release VOCs into your indoor air. Whether your Lakewood property is on a municipal connection or a private well, testing practices and treatment differ, and private well owners are responsible for monitoring. Taking a whole-house perspective helps control PCE where water first enters your home, reducing both ingestion and inhalation routes.
The single most effective whole-house filter for reducing perchloroethylene is a professionally designed activated carbon system. High-quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene can volatilize during use, treating water at the point of entry in your Lakewood home lowers the amount that reaches showers and other fixtures, delivering cleaner water throughout the house rather than just at one sink.
Correct sizing and flow rate are key to giving carbon media enough contact time to capture perchloroethylene effectively. Whole-house carbon systems are typically placed before the plumbing splits so they protect kitchen, bathroom, and laundry lines across your Lakewood residence. In many installations a sediment prefilter is added to extend carbon life by removing particulates first, while the carbon stage performs the main removal of PCE. Mr. Pure Water can assess your household’s usage and plumbing layout to recommend the right whole-house carbon solution.
