Including filter system and high-performance Perchloroethylene filter.
Perchloroethylene is an industrial solvent that can sometimes enter drinking water in trace amounts without a noticeable taste or odor. Known also as PCE, PERC, and tetrachloroethylene, it’s commonly linked to manufacturing and dry-cleaning uses. For Weston homeowners—whether in Weston Hills, Savanna, or Bonaventure—understanding likely sources and how treatment works is the first step toward keeping it out of your plumbing.
Because PCE can off-gas from water into the air during everyday activities, exposure in Weston isn’t limited to drinking: showers, baths and running the dishwasher can increase contact with volatile organic compounds like perchloroethylene. Municipal testing and treatment practices differ across Broward County, and private well owners carry testing responsibility themselves. Taking a whole-house approach helps protect indoor air and water where contaminants first enter your residence.
To reduce perchloroethylene throughout a Weston home, a whole-house activated carbon system is generally the single most effective filter choice. Quality carbon media adsorbs many VOCs, including PCE/PERC, as water flows through the tank. Because tetrachloroethylene is volatile, treating it at the point of entry also limits what can be released during showers and other household water use, delivering cleaner water to every faucet and fixture.
Sizing the carbon system correctly is key since contact time and flow rate determine how effectively PCE is captured. Whole-house carbon is typically installed at the main inlet so it protects bathrooms, laundry and kitchen lines across your Weston property. Given local hard water concerns that can cause scale buildup, adding a sediment prefilter in front of the carbon can extend media life, while the carbon stage handles the primary perchloroethylene removal—Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right setup for your household.
