Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene can occur in water in very small amounts and often gives no taste or odor clues, so homeowners may not realize it’s present. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, this solvent is commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning uses. Learning where it can enter the supply and how utilities or private wells handle treatment is the first step to keeping it out of your Lindgren household plumbing.
Because PCE readily moves from water into indoor air during everyday activities, exposure isn’t limited to drinking — showers, baths, and dishwashing can all release it into your home. Whether your Lindgren residence is on municipal water or a private well, testing frequency and treatment responsibilities differ, so many homeowners choose a whole-house solution to reduce perchloroethylene where water first comes into the house.
To lower perchloroethylene throughout the entire home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the single most effective filter choice. High-quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water moves through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating it at the point of entry in your Lindgren home helps cut what can be released during showers and other daily water uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture.
Sizing the carbon filter correctly matters because contact time and flow rate determine how well PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon systems are typically placed before the plumbing splits to protect bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen lines at once; in some installations a sediment prefilter can extend carbon life by reducing early clogging. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Lindgren home’s water use and plumbing layout to recommend the right whole-house carbon system for perchloroethylene reduction.
