Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can sometimes be present in water without any noticeable taste or odor, so many homeowners in Scanlon might not realize it’s there. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial uses and dry cleaning. Because you don’t want this compound coming through every faucet, the first step is knowing the possible sources and how water providers and homeowners typically address it.
Perchloroethylene can evaporate from water into indoor air during normal home activities, so exposure isn’t limited to drinking—showers, baths, and dishwashing can all release volatile organic compounds like PCE. If your Scanlon home is on municipal supply, testing and treatment practices may vary; private well owners are responsible for testing their own water. Either way, tackling the issue where water enters your house is the most reliable way to reduce overall exposure.
A whole-house activated carbon system is typically the single-filter choice best suited to reduce perchloroethylene throughout a home. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water moves through the tank, and because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry also cuts down on what can be released during showers and other uses. The outcome is treated water delivered to every fixture in your Scanlon home rather than protection at 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 usually placed before the plumbing branches so they protect kitchen, bathroom, and laundry lines at once. In many homes, a sediment prefilter helps prevent premature clogging, but the carbon stage is the primary workhorse for perchloroethylene reduction—Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for Scanlon households based on your water usage and plumbing layout.
