Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can appear in water at low concentrations and often goes unnoticed because it usually has no distinct taste or smell. Also called PCE, PERC, or tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked with dry-cleaning and other industrial uses. For Rio homeowners, the first step is recognizing where it can come from and how utilities or private wells typically handle treatment, so you can plan the right response for your household water.
PCE is volatile, so it can transfer from water into the air inside your home during everyday activities — showering, bathing, and dishwashing can all release it. That means exposure isn’t limited to drinking water. Whether your Rio house is on municipal supply or a private well, testing and responsibility differ, and because of our humid subtropical climate and the potential for storm-related disruptions to well systems or pumps, a whole-house strategy is a practical way to protect indoor water and air quality.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a Rio residence, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the single most effective filter option. Quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Treating at the point of entry is particularly useful for volatile contaminants like tetrachloroethylene because it lowers what can be released during showers and other water use, delivering cleaner water to every fixture in the home.
Sizing matters: contact time and flow rate determine how well a carbon system captures PCE, so a properly sized whole-house filter is key for Rio homes. These systems are usually placed before plumbing branches to protect bathrooms, laundry, and kitchens at once. In many coastal Florida homes, a sediment prefilter can help prevent premature clogging of the carbon bed, while the carbon stage does the main removal work for perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can recommend and install the right whole-house carbon setup for your Rio property and usage.
