Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene can turn up in drinking water at low levels without any noticeable taste or odor, so many homeowners don’t realize it’s present. Known also as PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, this solvent is commonly linked to industrial processes and dry cleaning. For Tropic Isle residents in Palm Beach County, the first step toward protection is knowing where perchloroethylene can enter your supply and how it is typically treated before it reaches taps.
Because PCE readily volatilizes, it can migrate from water into the air inside your home, so exposure isn’t limited to drinking alone. Everyday activities in Tropic Isle — like hot showers or running the dishwasher — can release volatile organic compounds including perchloroethylene. Whether you receive municipal water or use a private well, testing practices and treatment can differ, and many homeowners choose a whole-house solution to stop contaminants where water enters the home.
To lower perchloroethylene throughout a house, 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, and treating tetrachloroethylene at the point of entry also reduces what can be released during showers and other household uses. For Tropic Isle homes — where hard water is common — a point-of-entry carbon system delivers treated water to every fixture, not just a single sink.
Sizing matters: contact time and flow rate affect how well a carbon bed captures PCE. Whole-house carbon filters are typically placed before the plumbing splits so bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines are all protected at once. In many Tropic Isle houses a sediment prefilter can extend carbon life by trapping grit and scale from hard water, but the carbon stage remains the primary perchloroethylene remover. Mr. Pure Water can help select and install the right whole-house carbon system for your household’s water use and plumbing layout.
