Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can sometimes make its way into household water without any noticeable taste or smell. Known also as PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to dry-cleaning and other industrial uses. Because you won’t necessarily detect it at the tap, Paradise Heights homeowners benefit from knowing potential sources and typical treatment options so they can make an informed plan for protecting their household water.
Perchloroethylene can volatilize from water into indoor air, so exposure in Paradise Heights isn’t limited to drinking: showering, bathing, and dishwashing can release it into your home’s air. Municipal testing and treatment practices vary, and if your property relies on a private well, testing is your responsibility. Taking a whole-house approach helps intercept contaminants at the point they enter your plumbing, reducing both water and air exposure inside your home.
To address perchloroethylene throughout the house, a whole-house activated carbon system is typically the single best filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Since tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the main entry point also cuts down on what can off-gas during showers and everyday use, delivering cleaner water to every fixture in your Paradise Heights home.
Sizing matters: proper contact time and flow rate determine how effectively a carbon system captures PCE. Whole-house carbon is usually placed before the plumbing splits so bathrooms, laundry, and the kitchen all get protected water. In many homes, a sediment prefilter helps preserve the carbon bed, but the carbon stage is what removes most perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house activated carbon setup for your Paradise Heights property and household needs.
