Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene can appear in water supplies at very low levels without any noticeable taste or odor, so many homeowners don’t realize it’s there. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, this solvent is commonly linked to industrial and dry-cleaning activities. In Sunset Point, knowing the possible sources and how utilities typically treat such contaminants is the first step to protecting every tap in your house.
Because PCE can off-gas from water into indoor air, exposure in Sunset Point homes isn’t limited to drinking — showering, bathing, and running the dishwasher can release volatile compounds into living spaces. If your water comes from a municipal supplier, testing and treatment may be handled by the utility; private well owners in the area are responsible for their own testing. Either way, addressing the contaminant at the point where water enters your home helps reduce both ingestion and airborne exposure.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a Sunset Point house, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the single best filtration option. Quality granular or solid carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry also limits what can be released during showers and other household uses, delivering cleaner water to every faucet and fixture.
Sizing matters: contact time and flow rate determine how effectively a carbon filter captures PCE, so a properly sized whole-house unit should be installed before your plumbing branches. In Sunset Point residences, adding a sediment prefilter can help preserve the carbon bed by removing grit and particulates, while the carbon stage handles the main removal of perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your home’s water usage and plumbing layout and recommend the right whole-house carbon system for your needs.
