Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that sometimes appears in water supplies in amounts you won’t detect by taste or smell. Known also as PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning processes. Because it can enter household plumbing unnoticed, Perkins homeowners benefit from knowing where it can originate and what treatment options are typically used to manage it at the source of entry to the home.
Perchloroethylene can transfer from water into the air inside your house, so exposures in Perkins aren’t limited to drinking — activities like showering, bathing, and dishwashing can release volatile organic compounds such as PCE. If your water comes from a municipal system, testing and treatment practices may vary; if you rely on a private well in Perkins, testing is your responsibility. In either case, addressing contamination with a whole-house solution helps reduce the compound where water first arrives into your plumbing.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout the home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as the water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry in Perkins also lowers what can be released during showers and other uses, so every tap benefits rather than only a single fixture.
Sizing a carbon filter correctly matters because contact time and flow rate determine how well PCE is captured. Whole-house carbon systems are typically placed before the plumbing branches to protect bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines across a Perkins home. A sediment prefilter can extend the life of the carbon by preventing premature clogging, but the carbon stage handles the main removal of perchloroethylene; Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for your household’s water use and plumbing layout.
