Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can appear in water at low levels without any noticeable taste or odor. Often called PCE, PERC, or tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked with industrial and dry‑cleaning activities. Because it can travel into household plumbing, Lois homeowners should know how it gets into water and what options exist to manage it before it reaches taps and appliances.
Perchloroethylene can move from water into indoor air during routine use, so exposure isn’t limited to swallowing — showers, baths and dishwashing can all release volatile organic compounds like PCE. If your Lois home is on a private well, testing is your responsibility; municipal users should review their water provider’s reports. Either way, treating water at the point it enters your house helps reduce both ingestion and inhalation risks.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a home, a whole‑house activated carbon system is typically the best single‑filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, installing the carbon at the point of entry in a Lois residence also cuts down on what can be released during showers and other water use, so every fixture gets treated water.
Sizing the carbon filter correctly matters — contact time and flow rate determine how effectively PCE is removed. Whole‑house carbon systems are usually placed before the plumbing splits so bathrooms, laundry and the kitchen are all protected. A sediment prefilter can prolong the carbon media’s life in some homes, while the carbon stage does the main removal of perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can help Lois homeowners select the right whole‑house carbon system for their household’s water use and plumbing layout.
