Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can appear in water supplies at low concentrations without any noticeable taste or smell. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning activities. Because it can be present without obvious signs, Stern homeowners benefit from knowing where it might originate and how water systems typically handle it so you can protect every tap in your home.
PCE can evaporate from water into indoor air during normal household activities, so exposure isn’t limited to drinking alone. Tasks like showering, bathing, and running the dishwasher can increase contact with volatile organic compounds such as perchloroethylene. Whether your Stern residence is on municipal supply or a private well, testing and treatment practices vary — and taking a whole-house approach helps control what enters your plumbing and living spaces.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a Stern home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, installing treatment at the point where water enters your house also lowers 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 removed. Whole-house carbon units are typically placed before the home’s plumbing divides so bathrooms, laundry, and the kitchen are all protected. In some Stern homes, a sediment prefilter can extend carbon life by reducing particulates, while the carbon stage performs the main perchloroethylene removal—Mr. Pure Water can help pick the right whole-house carbon system for your household’s water use and layout.
