Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can occasionally be found in water supplies at low levels without any noticeable taste or odor. Known also as PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial activities and dry-cleaning. Because it can enter your plumbing unnoticed, it’s worth knowing where it comes from and how providers treat it so you can decide what’s best for The Crossings households.
Perchloroethylene can transfer from water into the air inside your home during regular activities, so exposure isn’t limited to drinking—showers, baths, and running the dishwasher can all release volatile compounds. If your water comes from Miami‑Dade’s municipal system or a private well, testing and treatment practices differ, and The Crossings homeowners should be aware of that. Treating water at the point where it enters your house helps reduce both ingestion and airborne exposure.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the most effective single-filter choice. Good quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, installing treatment at the main inlet in The Crossings limits what’s released during showers and other water use, delivering cleaner water to every fixture rather than just one tap.
Sizing a carbon filter correctly matters because flow rate and contact time determine how well PCE is removed. Whole-house carbon systems are typically placed before the plumbing branches so bathrooms, laundry, and kitchens across The Crossings benefit at once. In many Miami‑Dade homes, which often have hard water and higher mineral buildup, a sediment prefilter can protect the carbon bed from premature clogging, while the carbon stage handles the primary removal of perchloroethylene—Mr. Pure Water can help match the right system to your home’s layout and usage.
