Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can sometimes appear in household water without any noticeable taste or odor, so many homeowners don’t realize it’s there. You might see it referenced as PCE, PERC, or tetrachloroethylene — names commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning uses. Because it’s not something you want running to every tap in your Overstreet home, the first step is knowing the likely sources and the typical ways it’s addressed before it reaches your plumbing.
Perchloroethylene can transfer from water into indoor air during everyday activities, so exposure in Overstreet isn’t limited to drinking alone. Showering, bathing, and dishwashing can all release volatile organic compounds like PCE into your home’s air. Whether your water comes from a municipal system or a private well, testing and treatment practices differ, and a whole-house solution is the most reliable way to treat the water where it enters your property.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout an Overstreet residence, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the single most effective filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank, and because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating at the point of entry lowers what can off-gas during showers and other uses. This approach delivers treated water to every fixture in your home rather than just one tap.
Sizing matters for whole-house carbon systems in Overstreet houses — contact time and flow rate determine how effectively PCE is removed. These systems are typically placed before the plumbing branches so bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry lines all benefit. A sediment prefilter can extend carbon life by keeping larger particles out of the carbon bed, while the carbon stage handles the primary removal of perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for your household’s flow needs and plumbing layout.
