Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene can appear in water supplies at low concentrations without any noticeable taste or odor, so Liberty homeowners might not realize it’s present. Also called PCE, PERC, or tetrachloroethylene, this solvent is commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning activities. Because you don’t want it running through every tap, the first step is learning how it can enter your water and which treatments are typically used to address it in a household setting.
Perchloroethylene can off-gas from water into indoor air during normal activities, so exposure in Liberty houses isn’t limited to drinking—showering, bathing, and dishwashing can all increase contact with volatile organic compounds like PCE. If your water comes from a private well, testing is your responsibility; municipal customers should review local testing and treatment practices. Taking a whole-house view helps stop perchloroethylene where water first enters your Liberty home.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a house, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the most effective single-filter choice. 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 also lowers the amount that can be released during showers and other household uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture in your Liberty residence.
Sizing the carbon filter correctly matters since contact time and flow rate influence how well PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon units are typically placed before the plumbing splits so bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines in Liberty homes are all protected. A sediment prefilter can extend carbon life by catching particles first, while the carbon stage does the main work removing perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can help pick a whole-house carbon system suited to your household’s usage and plumbing layout.
