Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can appear in water supplies at low levels without any noticeable taste or odor. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry‑cleaning uses. Because it can travel through water lines, homeowners in Lotus should be aware of where it can come from and how utilities or wells typically handle treatment so you can plan the right protection for your household.
PCE can off‑gas from water during everyday activities, so exposure isn’t limited to drinking—showering, bathing, and running the dishwasher can all release volatile compounds into indoor air. In Lotus, whether you’re on a municipal supply or a private well, testing and treatment practices may differ; well owners carry the testing responsibility. A whole‑house strategy treats water at the point it enters your home, helping reduce exposure from every faucet and fixture.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a home, a whole‑house activated carbon system is generally the most effective 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 at the point of entry also limits what can release into the air during showers and other uses, delivering treated water to every fixture in your Lotus house.
Sizing matters: contact time and flow rate influence how well a carbon system captures PCE, and whole‑house units are typically placed before the plumbing branches to protect bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen lines. In Lotus’s humid subtropical climate, and with moderate water hardness and the mineral scale residents often see, adding a sediment prefilter can help preserve the carbon bed’s life. Mr. Pure Water will assess your home’s usage and plumbing layout to recommend the right whole‑house carbon setup.
