Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can appear in water supplies at low concentrations and often goes unnoticed because it usually has no distinct taste or smell. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial uses and dry-cleaning. For Santa Clara homeowners, the first step is recognizing likely sources and typical treatment options so you know how to keep this contaminant from reaching every tap in your house.
Perchloroethylene can off-gas from water into indoor air during routine activities, so exposure isn’t limited to what you drink—showers, baths and dishwashing can increase contact with volatile organic compounds like PCE. Whether your Santa Clara residence is on a municipal supply or a private well, testing practices and treatments differ; if you manage your own well it’s your responsibility to test. Taking a whole-house stance helps intercept contaminants right where water enters your home.
The most effective single-filter option for whole-house reduction of perchloroethylene is a whole-house activated carbon system. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank, and because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry cuts down on what can be released during showers and other uses. In Santa Clara homes, that means cleaner water to every fixture instead of treating only one sink.
Sizing the carbon filter correctly matters because contact time and flow rate determine how effectively PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon systems are typically placed before the plumbing branches so they protect bathrooms, kitchens and laundry lines at once; in some houses a sediment prefilter helps preserve the carbon bed by catching particulates first. Mr. Pure Water in Santa Clara can help select a whole-house carbon system sized for your household water use and plumbing layout.
