Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can sometimes be found in drinking water at very low levels, and you may not detect it by taste or smell. Also called PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to dry-cleaning and other industrial uses. For Valdez homeowners, the first step is knowing the likely sources and how typical treatment approaches work so you can decide what protection your household needs.
Because perchloroethylene can transfer from water into indoor air during everyday activities, exposure isn’t limited to what you drink. Showering, bathing, and running the dishwasher can release volatile organic compounds like PCE into your home’s air. In Valdez, whether you’re served by a public utility or rely on a private well, testing is the reliable way to know your situation; whole-house treatment is the best way to stop contaminant entry at the point where water comes into your house.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a Valdez home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the top single-filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating water at the point of entry helps limit what can off-gas during showers and other uses, so every faucet and fixture gets cleaner water rather than treating only one tap.
Sizing matters: contact time and flow rate determine how effectively a carbon bed captures PCE. Whole-house carbon systems in Valdez are usually placed before the plumbing splits so bathrooms, laundry, and kitchens are all protected. If your water has sediment, a prefilter can extend carbon life, but the carbon stage provides the primary perchloroethylene removal—Mr. Pure Water can help choose the right whole-house carbon system once you confirm hardness and iron/sulfur levels with a current water test.
