Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that can sometimes be found in water supplies without any obvious taste or smell. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to industrial and dry‑cleaning uses. Because you wouldn’t want that kind of compound running to every tap, it helps to know the typical sources and treatment options so Tiger Point homeowners can make a clear plan for protecting their household water.
PCE can move from water into the air inside your home, so exposure may come from more than just drinking — think showers, baths, and dishwashing. Whether your Tiger Point residence is on a municipal system or a private well, testing and treatment practices can differ, and private well owners are responsible for checking their water. A whole-house strategy treats water where it enters your house, helping limit both ingestion and airborne exposure from everyday water use.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout the entire home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the best single-filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many volatile organic compounds, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, installing treatment at the point of entry also lowers what can be released during showers and other uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture in your Tiger Point home.
Sizing the carbon filter correctly matters because contact time and flow rate determine how effectively PCE is captured. Whole‑house carbon systems are typically placed before the plumbing splits so bathrooms, laundry, and the kitchen all benefit. In many installations a sediment prefilter is added to protect the carbon bed from premature clogging, while the carbon stage does the main removal of perchloroethylene. Mr. Pure Water can help Tiger Point homeowners choose the right whole‑house carbon system for their household water usage and plumbing layout.
