Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can occasionally be found in household water without any noticeable taste or smell. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to dry-cleaning and other industrial uses. Because you wouldn’t want that kind of chemical flowing to every faucet in your Surf home, it helps to know the likely sources and the typical ways utilities and homeowners address it.
Perchloroethylene can transfer from water into indoor air, so exposure can occur during everyday activities beyond drinking — think showers, baths, and dishwashing. If your Surf residence is on municipal supply, testing and treatment practices may be handled by your provider; if you rely on a private well, testing is your responsibility. Either way, treating water where it enters the house offers protection across all uses and helps limit what gets released into your indoor air.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a home, the single most effective whole-house solution is an activated carbon system. Quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water moves through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, installing the filter at the point where water enters your Surf plumbing can also lower the amount that escapes into steam and air during showers and other household uses, providing cleaner water to every fixture.
Sizing matters: a correctly sized whole-house carbon filter gives the contact time and flow rate needed to capture perchloroethylene effectively. These systems are typically placed before the home’s plumbing splits so bathrooms, laundry, and kitchen lines are all protected. In many installations a sediment prefilter is added to extend carbon life, while the carbon stage does the main removal of PCE. Mr. Pure Water can help Surf homeowners choose the right whole-house carbon system for their flow needs and plumbing layout.
