Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can sometimes appear at low levels in household water without obvious taste or odor, so many homeowners wouldn’t notice it. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial uses and dry cleaning. In Malabar and across Brevard County, the first step is knowing how this contaminant can enter your supply and what treatments work—so you can make a plan to keep it out of every tap in your Space Coast home.
Because perchloroethylene can volatilize from water into indoor air, exposure may come from more than just drinking: showering, bathing, and doing dishes can all release VOCs into your home. Whether your residence in Malabar is on a municipal system or a private well, testing frequency and treatment responsibilities differ, and homeowners on hard Brevard County groundwater may especially want to control contaminants before they reach plumbing and fixtures. A whole-house solution treats water as it enters, helping limit both ingestion and airborne exposure throughout the house.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a Malabar household, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the best single-filter choice. High-quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water travels through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene can off-gas during use, installing treatment at the point of entry helps lower what’s released during showers and other water tasks, delivering cleaner water to every fixture from kitchen to bathroom.
Sizing matters: a correctly sized whole-house carbon filter improves contact time and flow rate so PCE is captured effectively. These systems are typically placed before the plumbing splits to protect bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen lines across Malabar homes. In areas of hard Brevard County groundwater, a sediment prefilter can extend carbon life by reducing scale and particulates, while the carbon stage performs the main removal of perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can help select and install the right whole-house carbon system for your home’s layout and water use.
