Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can occasionally appear in water supplies at low concentrations, and you likely wouldn’t detect it by taste or smell. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry‑cleaning activities. Because it can travel into the water that reaches every tap, Piedmont homeowners should know where it may originate and how utilities or private wells typically address it.
Perchloroethylene can off-gas from water into indoor air during normal household use, so exposure isn’t limited to drinking — showers, baths, and dishwashing can all contribute. In North Florida communities like Piedmont, water source and treatment can vary between municipal supply and private wells, so testing frequency and responsibility may differ; either way, treating water where it enters your home provides broader protection.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout the house, a whole‑house activated carbon system is the most effective single‑filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, addressing it at point of entry also helps limit what’s released during showers and other water use, delivering cleaner water to every fixture in Piedmont homes.
Correct sizing matters because contact time and flow rate determine how effectively PCE is removed. Whole‑house carbon systems are typically placed before the plumbing branches to protect bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen lines at once. In Piedmont houses with moderate water hardness, a sediment prefilter can help preserve the carbon bed, while the carbon stage provides the primary removal — Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole‑house carbon setup for your water use and plumbing layout.
