Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can turn up in water without any taste or smell you’d notice in daily life. Often called PCE, PERC, or tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning operations. Because it can enter tap water unseen, Littman homeowners benefit from knowing typical sources and common treatment approaches so you can make an informed plan for protecting every faucet and fixture.
PCE doesn’t only matter for drinking — it can move from water into the air in your home during showers, laundry and dishwashing, increasing the places you might be exposed. Whether your Littman house is on a public system or a private well, testing practices and treatment differ, and those on private supplies especially carry the testing responsibility. A whole-house strategy treats water where it enters your Littman home, cutting potential exposure from water used throughout the house.
To reduce perchloroethylene across the entire plumbing system, a whole-house activated carbon filter 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 is volatile, treating water at the point of entry in your Littman home also lowers the amount that can off-gas during showers and other uses, so every fixture sees cleaner water, not just one tap.
Sizing the carbon system correctly matters because contact time and flow rate determine how effectively PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon units are typically placed before the plumbing branches so bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines are all protected. In many Littman homes a sediment prefilter can extend the life of the carbon by preventing premature clogging, while the carbon stage does the main work removing perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can help select the right whole-house carbon system to match your Littman household’s water use and plumbing layout.
