Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used historically in industrial degreasing that can migrate through soil into groundwater and eventually reach drinking water. Because it often has little taste or smell at low levels, homeowners in Allentown may not be able to detect it without testing. The only reliable way to know whether your water contains trichloroethylene is to have it tested by a qualified lab.
If trichloroethylene is found in your home's water in Allentown, many families prefer a whole-house solution so every tap is protected — not just a single point like the kitchen sink. That approach covers showers, baths, tooth brushing, cooking and ice makers. Because TCE is a long-term exposure concern rather than an immediately noticeable nuisance, treating water at the municipal or well entry point gives broader peace of mind for everyday household use.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters an Allentown home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically the most effective single-filter option. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep bed of carbon. Proper sizing and flow design are important because contact time with the carbon affects removal, and a correctly configured GAC system treats water for every faucet and shower in the house.
A correctly designed GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should be sized to your Allentown household’s daily water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time. Carbon media will need periodic replacement, and schedules should be based on usage and, ideally, verified with follow-up testing. Many installations include sediment pretreatment to protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. Mr. Pure Water can work with Allentown homeowners to pick a whole-house carbon configuration that matches your water profile and household needs.
