Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can sometimes be found in water supplies at low levels without noticeable taste or odor. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial uses and dry cleaning. Because it can travel through water systems, homeowners in Saint Augustine South should know where it may originate and how utilities and private wells typically address it — understanding sources and treatment options is the first step to keeping it out of your taps and appliances.
Perchloroethylene is a volatile organic compound, so it can move from water into the air inside your home during everyday activities. That means showering, running a dishwasher, or doing laundry in Saint Augustine South can increase indoor exposure beyond just drinking water. Whether you receive municipal water in St. Johns County or rely on a private well, testing and treatment practices differ, and homeowners are often responsible for well testing. Treating water at the point of entry to your house helps address PCE where it first appears and reduces what reaches indoor air.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a Saint Augustine South home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the most effective single-filter choice. High-quality granular or block carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, installing carbon at the main entry point also helps lower the amount that can volatilize during showers and other uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture rather than just one tap.
Correct sizing and flow rate matter when treating PCE, especially in our hard-water coastal climate where mineral scale can affect system performance. A whole-house carbon filter is typically placed before the home’s plumbing splits so it protects bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry lines across Saint Augustine South. Adding a sediment prefilter can extend the life of the carbon by trapping grit and scale first, while the carbon stage does the main removal of perchloroethylene — Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for your household’s usage and plumbing layout.
