Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can turn up in drinking water at low levels without a noticeable taste or smell. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to dry-cleaning and certain industrial uses. For Shorewood homeowners it’s important to know potential sources and typical treatment options so you can plan how to keep this contaminant away from your taps and appliances.
PCE can off-gas from water into the air during everyday tasks, so exposure isn’t limited to what you drink — showering, bathing, and washing dishes can increase contact with volatile organic compounds like perchloroethylene. Whether your Shorewood home is on Lee County municipal supply or a private well, testing responsibilities and treatment practices differ; taking a whole-house perspective helps address PCE where water enters your home.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a house, the most effective single-filter choice is a whole-house activated carbon system. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Treating tetrachloroethylene at the point of entry also limits what can volatilize during showers and other water use, delivering cleaner water to every fixture in your Shorewood residence.
Sizing the carbon tank correctly matters because contact time and flow rate influence how well PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon systems are usually placed before the plumbing branches so bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines are all protected at once. In hard-water areas like much of Lee County, a sediment prefilter can help prevent early clogging of the carbon bed, while the carbon stage provides the primary perchloroethylene reduction—Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right system for your Shorewood home and usage patterns.
