Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, often shortened to TCE, is a manufactured solvent that can reach drinking water when it seeps through soil into groundwater after being released into the environment. Commonly used in degreasing and other industrial processes, it can remain in the environment for long periods. Because low concentrations usually don’t change taste or smell, homeowners in Argyle may not be aware of its presence — testing is the only reliable way to find out if your water contains trichloroethylene.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in a home’s water, many Argyle residents prefer a solution that treats the whole house rather than a single faucet. Treating every outlet matters for activities like showering, bathing, brushing teeth and cooking, where exposure can occur throughout daily life. Unlike visible water problems, TCE is a long-term exposure concern, so installing whole-house protection can help you address water quality across your home once you know what needs to be treated.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the service line, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically the single most effective option. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water moves through a deep carbon bed. Because removal depends on contact time, a system with properly sized carbon media and flow design is important for meaningful reduction. Installed at the point where water enters an Argyle home, this type of system provides treatment for every faucet and shower.
A correctly configured GAC whole-house system should match your Argyle household’s water demand so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work effectively. Carbon will eventually need replacement, so change intervals should be planned around your usage and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. Many homes also benefit from sediment pretreatment to protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. If trichloroethylene is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help select a whole-house carbon setup suited to your water and home.
