Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can occasionally be found in water supplies at low levels and often goes unnoticed because it usually has no taste or smell. Known also as PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning processes. For Maitland homeowners, the first step is learning where contamination can originate and how utilities and private wells typically handle treatment so you can decide if further action is needed for your household.
Because PCE can off-gas from water into indoor air, exposure isn’t limited to drinking—everyday activities like showering, bathing, and running the dishwasher can increase contact. In Orange County’s Maitland area, municipal testing and treatment practices can differ, and private well owners are responsible for their own testing. Either way, addressing perchloroethylene at the home’s entry point helps reduce both waterborne and airborne exposure inside your house.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout your Maitland home, a whole-house activated carbon system 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 helps cut down on what can be released during showers and other water uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture in the house.
Correct sizing matters because contact time and flow rate influence how effectively carbon captures PCE. Whole-house carbon filters are usually placed before the plumbing splits so bathrooms, laundry, and the kitchen are all protected—useful in Maitland homes where hard water from the Floridan aquifer can also cause mineral build-up in appliances. A sediment prefilter can extend carbon life by trapping particles first, while the carbon stage does the main perchloroethylene removal; Mr. Pure Water can help choose the right whole-house carbon system for your home’s layout and water use.
