Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a common solvent that can sometimes be found in drinking water at very low levels, and you often can’t detect it by taste or smell. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s frequently linked with industrial and dry-cleaning uses. When it’s present in water, it’s understandable to want it kept out of every tap in your Postil home. The first step toward that is knowing where PCE can come from and how it’s usually treated so you can choose the right protection.
Perchloroethylene can off-gas from water into indoor air during normal household activities, so exposure in Postil isn’t only from drinking—showers, baths, and dishwashing can all increase contact with volatile organic compounds like PCE. If your home is on a municipal system, treatment and testing practices vary; if you use a private well, testing is your responsibility. Either way, addressing contaminants at the point water enters your Postil property with a whole-house strategy helps reduce exposure throughout the living space.
To reduce perchloroethylene across every fixture in a Postil home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the most effective single-filter choice. High-quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds—including PCE/PERC—while water moves through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry also cuts down on what can be released into the air during showers and other uses, giving you cleaner water at every faucet.
Sizing the carbon filter correctly matters for homes in Postil because contact time and flow rate influence how much PCE is captured. Whole-house carbon systems are typically placed before the plumbing splits so bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen lines are all protected. In many installations a sediment prefilter helps prevent premature clogging of the carbon bed, while the carbon stage does the main work removing perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Postil household’s water use and plumbing to recommend the right whole-house carbon setup.
