Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can appear in drinking water in small concentrations without any noticeable taste or smell. Also known as PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial uses and dry-cleaning operations. When it’s in your water, it’s sensible to understand potential sources and treatment choices so you’re not surprised by contamination at the tap. For New Harmony homeowners, starting with where contaminants can enter your supply and how they’re typically removed is the first step toward protecting every faucet.
Perchloroethylene can transfer from water into the air inside your home, so exposure isn’t just from drinking — activities like showering, bathing, and running the dishwasher can increase contact with volatile organic compounds. If your property in New Harmony is on a public system, testing and treatment are handled differently than for private wells, where owners must arrange testing themselves. Either scenario benefits from treating water at the point of entry so you reduce PCE exposure across the whole house.
To lower perchloroethylene throughout a New Harmony home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the single most effective filter choice. Carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank, and because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the main inlet helps curb what becomes airborne during showers and other uses. The outcome is cleaner water to every fixture — not just a single sink.
Sizing and flow rate matter for whole-house carbon systems because contact time determines how well PCE is removed. In New Harmony, installing the carbon unit at the home’s point of entry lets it protect kitchen, bathroom, and laundry lines all at once. Some homes also benefit from a sediment prefilter to extend the carbon’s life, while the carbon stage does the primary work removing perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can help pick the right whole-house carbon system for your household’s water use and plumbing layout.
