Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can sometimes be found in water supplies without any noticeable taste or odor. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to dry-cleaning and other industrial uses. Because you wouldn’t want this kind of solvent running to every faucet in your Plum Orchard home, it helps to know the likely sources and the standard ways utilities and homeowners address it.
PCE can evaporate from water into indoor air during everyday activities, so exposure in a Plum Orchard house isn’t limited to what you drink. Tasks like showering, bathing, or washing dishes can release volatile organic compounds such as perchloroethylene. If your home is on a public system, testing and treatment practices may differ; if you rely on a private well, testing is up to you. Taking a whole-house perspective treats the water where it enters your residence and helps lower potential indoor-air release.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a Plum Orchard home, a whole-house activated carbon system is usually the best single-filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry also cuts down on what can off-gas during showers and other water use, delivering cleaner water to every fixture in the house.
Sizing the carbon filter correctly matters for effective PCE removal, since contact time and flow rate influence performance. Whole-house carbon units are typically placed before the plumbing branches so bathrooms, laundry, and the kitchen are all protected in Plum Orchard homes. A sediment prefilter can extend the life of the carbon by preventing premature clogging, while the carbon stage does the main work removing perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can help choose the right whole-house carbon system for your household’s water use and plumbing layout.
