Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene can sometimes be present in drinking water at levels homeowners won’t detect by taste or smell. Known also as PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, this solvent is commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning operations. Because it can enter the water that runs to every tap, McLellan families often start by learning where PCE comes from and which treatments are typically used to address it.
Perchloroethylene can off-gas from water into the air during normal household activities, so exposure isn’t limited to just drinking — showering, bathing, and dishwashing can all transfer volatile compounds into your home’s air. Whether your McLellan property is on a community system or a private well, testing and treatment practices differ; homeowners with private wells carry responsibility for testing. A whole-house filter installed at the point of entry helps manage PCE where water first comes into your McLellan plumbing.
To lower perchloroethylene throughout the home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the most effective single-filter solution. Carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating it at the point of entry in your McLellan home also reduces what might be released during showers and other routine water use, delivering cleaner water to every fixture.
Sizing matters for whole-house carbon because contact time and flow rate determine how well PCE is removed. These systems are typically installed before the plumbing branches so bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines in McLellan all receive treated water. In many homes a sediment prefilter can prolong carbon life by catching particulates first, while the carbon stage does the main work removing perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can assess your household’s flow needs and recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for your McLellan plumbing.
