Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can show up in drinking water at levels you won’t detect by taste or smell. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly tied to industrial and dry‑cleaning uses. When perchloroethylene is present in a home’s water, it’s reasonable to be concerned about every faucet and appliance it reaches. The first step toward protecting your Salem household is knowing the typical sources and how treatment is usually handled so you can make an informed plan.
Because PCE can transfer from water into the air inside your home, exposure isn’t limited to what you drink. Everyday activities — showers, baths and dishwashing — can release volatile organic compounds like perchloroethylene into indoor air. Whether your water comes from a municipal supply or a private well in Salem, testing and treatment practices can differ, and well owners are responsible for testing. A whole‑house strategy addresses contamination at the point where water enters your home, helping reduce both oral and inhalation exposure.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a Salem home, a whole‑house activated carbon system is typically the most effective single‑filter choice. Quality granular or catalytic 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 limits what can off‑gas during showers and other uses, so every fixture — not just a single sink — receives cleaner water.
Sizing the carbon tank correctly is key, since contact time and flow rate determine how well PCE is removed. Whole‑house carbon systems in Salem are usually positioned before the plumbing splits so they protect bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines simultaneously. In many homes a sediment prefilter helps preserve the carbon bed, but the carbon stage does the main perchloroethylene removal. Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole‑house carbon setup for your home’s water use and plumbing layout in Salem.
