Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that sometimes turns up in water supplies at low concentrations without any noticeable taste or odor. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to dry-cleaning and other industrial uses. For Orsino homeowners—many of whom rely on private wells in the St. Johns River basin—knowing common sources and typical treatment approaches is the first step toward protecting every tap in your house.
Because PCE can off-gas from water into the air indoors, your exposure in Orsino isn’t limited to what you drink—showering, bathing, and doing dishes can all increase contact with volatile organic compounds like perchloroethylene. Municipal testing and treatment practices vary, and if your property uses a private well, regular testing falls to you. Taking a whole-house view can help limit PCE where water first enters your home.
To lower perchloroethylene throughout a residence, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the best single-filter choice. Quality carbon media effectively adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water moves through the tank. Treating tetrachloroethylene at the point of entry also reduces the amount that can volatilize during showers and other household uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture in your Orsino home.
Sizing matters: contact time and flow rate influence how well a carbon bed captures PCE, so a properly sized whole-house carbon unit is installed ahead of the plumbing branches to protect bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen lines at once. In many setups, a sediment prefilter helps prevent premature clogging of the carbon, while the carbon stage does the main removal of perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can help Orsino homeowners choose the right whole-house carbon system based on household water use and plumbing layout.
