Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can sometimes appear in drinking water at low concentrations without any noticeable taste or odor. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial activities and dry-cleaning operations. Because you wouldn’t want a chemical like this running to every faucet in your Miami-Dade County house—from Downtown condos to Coral Gables residences—it helps to know where it can originate and how utilities and homeowners typically address it.
Perchloroethylene is volatile, so exposure isn’t limited to drinking — it can transfer from water into indoor air when you shower, bathe, or run the dishwasher. In Miami-Dade County, whether you rely on municipal supply or a private well affects who is responsible for testing and treatment; municipal programs and private homeowner practices can differ. Because of that, treating water at the point it enters your home is an effective way to reduce overall household exposure.
To lower perchloroethylene throughout a 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. Treating tetrachloroethylene at the main entry point also helps limit what off-gasses during hot showers or other household uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture across Miami-Dade County homes.
Sizing matters: contact time and flow rate determine how effectively a carbon system captures PCE. Whole-house carbon units are usually placed before the home’s plumbing branches so bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines are all protected. In Miami-Dade County’s hard-water conditions, a sediment prefilter can be useful to prevent premature clogging, while the carbon stage does the bulk of perchloroethylene removal. Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon system for your household’s water use and plumbing layout.
