Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can sometimes appear in drinking water at low levels without any noticeable taste or odor. You may also see it listed as PCE, PERC, or tetrachloroethylene; it’s commonly linked to dry-cleaning and other industrial uses. Because it can travel through water unnoticed, McDavid homeowners benefit from knowing potential sources and the typical treatment approaches so you can decide how to protect your household taps.
Perchloroethylene doesn’t only matter for drinking — it can transfer from water into indoor air during everyday activities like showering, bathing, and dishwashing. Whether your McDavid home is on a municipal supply or a private well, testing and treatment practices can differ, and well owners bear responsibility for testing. That’s why many Palm Beach County and surrounding area residents choose a whole-house strategy to reduce exposure where water first enters the home.
To lower perchloroethylene throughout your McDavid home, a whole-house activated carbon system is usually the single most effective filter option. Quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water moves through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry also cuts down on what can off-gas during showers and other uses, so every faucet and fixture sees cleaner water.
Sizing the carbon system correctly matters for McDavid homes because flow rate and contact time determine how well PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon is normally placed before the plumbing splits to protect kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry lines simultaneously. A sediment prefilter can extend the life of the carbon by preventing early clogging, but the carbon stage is responsible for most perchloroethylene reduction; Mr. Pure Water can help select the right whole-house carbon setup for your household’s usage and plumbing layout.
