Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can appear in drinking water at low concentrations without any noticeable taste or smell. Known also as PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial uses and dry-cleaning operations. Even tiny amounts aren’t something you want circulating through every faucet, so the first step for Lantana homeowners is understanding likely sources and typical treatment approaches for this contaminant.
Because PCE easily moves from water into indoor air, exposure in a Lantana house isn’t limited to what you drink — showers, baths and dishwashing can all release volatile compounds into the home. Whether your water comes from municipal supplies or a private well, testing and treatment practices can differ, and private well owners carry testing responsibility. A whole-house system treats water at the point it enters your Palm Beach County home, helping reduce PCE before it reaches bathrooms, the kitchen, or laundry.
To lower perchloroethylene throughout the entire house, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the most effective single-filter choice. High-grade carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Treating tetrachloroethylene at the point of entry also cuts down on what can volatilize during showers and other daily water use, delivering cleaner water to every fixture in your Lantana home.
Sizing the carbon filter correctly matters because contact time and flow rate determine how well PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon is typically placed before the plumbing branches to protect bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry at once — useful in Lantana homes that deal with hard water and mineral buildup. In many installations a sediment prefilter helps prolong the carbon bed’s life, while the carbon stage provides the main perchloroethylene removal; Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for your household’s usage and layout.
