Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is a solvent that sometimes turns up in water supplies without any noticeable taste or smell. You might also hear it called PCE, PERC, or tetrachloroethylene — names commonly linked to industrial uses and dry-cleaning. Because it can be present at low levels, it’s wise for Turkey Foot homeowners to know where it can come from and how it’s typically treated so it doesn’t reach every faucet in the house.
Perchloroethylene can move from water into the air inside your home, so exposure isn’t limited to drinking; showering, bathing, and dishwashing can all release volatile compounds. Whether your Turkey Foot residence is on a public system or a private well, testing practices and treatment options differ — private well owners are responsible for testing. Taking a whole-house view helps stop PCE at the point it enters your home, lowering what’s available to vaporize during everyday water use.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a house, a whole-house activated carbon system is typically the best single-filter choice. Carbon media adsorbs many VOCs effectively, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry in your Turkey Foot home also lessens the amount that can be released during showers and other uses, delivering cleaner water to every fixture instead of just one tap.
Correct sizing matters: contact time and flow rate determine how well carbon captures PCE. Whole-house carbon systems are usually placed before the plumbing splits so bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines are all protected. In Turkey Foot’s humid subtropical climate and with typically hard groundwater that can cause limescale, a sediment prefilter can be helpful to protect the carbon bed, while the carbon stage does the main perchloroethylene removal. Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for your home’s water use and plumbing layout.
