Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a common industrial solvent that can occasionally be found in drinking water without any noticeable taste or odor. Homeowners in Ortona and the greater Volusia County area may also see it referred to as PCE, PERC, or tetrachloroethylene — names tied to its use in dry cleaning and certain industrial processes. Because it can enter water supplies from external sources, it’s worth knowing where it might originate and how local systems typically address it so you can plan appropriate protections for your family’s taps.
Perchloroethylene can off-gas from water into indoor air during everyday activities, so exposure isn’t limited to what you drink. Showering, bathing, and running the dishwasher can increase contact with volatile organic compounds like PCE. Many Ortona homes use municipal water and rely on the utility for testing, while private well owners carry that responsibility themselves; either way, taking a whole-house perspective helps control contaminants at the point they enter your plumbing.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout an entire home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the best single-filter choice. High-grade carbon media adsorbs a wide range of VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the main entry in Ortona helps limit what can be released into the air during showers and other uses, delivering cleaner water to every faucet rather than only one fixture.
Sizing matters: contact time and flow rate determine how effectively a carbon system captures PCE. Whole-house carbon is usually placed before the home’s plumbing branches so it can protect bathrooms, the laundry, and the kitchen all at once — helpful for homes across humid, coastal Volusia County where mineral buildup and corrosion can complicate plumbing. Some installations benefit from a sediment prefilter to extend carbon life, while the carbon stage does the primary perchloroethylene removal; Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon system for your Ortona household and water usage.
