Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene can appear in water supplies at low levels without any noticeable taste or odor, so many homeowners in Orlando wouldn’t detect it by sniffing a glass. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly tied to industrial activities and dry cleaning. Because it can travel through source water and plumbing, it’s worth knowing potential entry points and typical treatment approaches so you can protect every tap in your Orange County home.
PCE is volatile, which means it can move from water into the air inside your house during everyday activities — showering, bathing, and dishwashing can all increase exposure. In Orlando, whether you’re on municipal water or a private well, testing frequency and treatment differ; private well owners carry the testing responsibility themselves. A whole-house strategy treats water at the point it enters the home, helping lower both ingestion and inhalation risks throughout your living space.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout an Orlando home, a whole-house activated carbon system is typically the best single-filter choice. High-quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene readily volatilizes, treating water at the main entry helps limit what’s released during showers and other household uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture rather than just one sink.
Sizing matters: contact time and flow rate determine how effectively a carbon bed captures PCE, so a properly sized whole-house unit is key for Orlando homes. These systems are usually placed before the plumbing branches to protect bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines across neighborhoods from Downtown to Lake Nona. In locations where Central Florida’s warm weather and seasonal rains encourage biofilm or sediment, adding a sediment prefilter can preserve carbon life, while the carbon stage remains the primary perchloroethylene remover — Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right system for your household’s usage and layout.
