Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can be present in water at low levels without any noticeable taste or smell. Known also as PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial uses and dry cleaning. Because homeowners won’t necessarily detect it at the tap, it’s useful to know where it can come from and how treatment typically works so you can protect every faucet in your Slavia home.
Perchloroethylene can off-gas from water into indoor air during everyday activities, so exposure isn’t limited to what you drink. Showering, bathing and dishwashing can all release volatile compounds like PCE into home air. In Slavia—where many houses use municipal water from Orange County Utilities or private wells—testing routines differ, and well owners are responsible for their own sampling. That’s why treating water at the point it enters your house is often the most reliable strategy.
To lower perchloroethylene throughout a house, a whole‑house activated carbon system is usually the most effective single‑filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water moves through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating it at the main shutoff in your Slavia home helps reduce what can be released during showers and other uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture instead of just one sink.
Sizing the carbon filter correctly matters because contact time and flow rate determine how well PCE is captured. Whole‑house carbon is typically placed where the main line enters the home so it protects bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines at once. In Slavia, hard water and mineral scale can be a practical concern, so some homes benefit from a sediment prefilter to extend the life of the carbon bed; the carbon stage remains the primary means of removing perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can help pick the right whole‑house carbon system for your plumbing and household use.
