Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent sometimes found in water without obvious taste or smell, and homeowners may not realize it’s present. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning activities. Because it can enter a household water system unnoticed, it’s sensible for Marathon residents to know potential sources and the typical ways it’s managed so you can protect every tap in your home.
Perchloroethylene can off-gas from water into indoor air, so exposure isn’t limited to drinking — showering, bathing, and running dishwashers can all increase contact with this volatile organic compound. Whether you’re on municipal supply or a private well or cistern in the Marathon area, testing responsibility and treatment options differ, but taking a whole-house view helps control PCE where water first enters your house.
To reduce perchloroethylene at every faucet, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Treating tetrachloroethylene at the point of entry also lowers what might be released into the air during showers and other uses, delivering cleaner water across your Marathon property.
Sizing a carbon system correctly matters because contact time and flow rate determine how well PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon is typically placed before the plumbing splits so it protects kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry lines across homes in Monroe County and Marathon neighborhoods like Grassy Key or Coco Plum. In many installations a sediment prefilter helps prevent premature clogging of the carbon bed, while the carbon stage does the main work removing perchloroethylene; Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for your plumbing layout and household needs.
