Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a manufactured solvent that can enter drinking water when it’s released and moves through soil into groundwater. It’s widely used in degreasing and other industrial applications and can persist once it reaches the subsurface. Because TCE often has little or no taste or smell at low levels, homeowners in Audubon and elsewhere in Hillsborough County wouldn’t know it’s present without testing — a lab test is the only reliable way to confirm trichloroethylene in your water.
When trichloroethylene is found in a home supply, many Audubon residents prefer a solution that protects every tap rather than just a single fixture. Whole-house treatment matters for everyday activities — showers, baths, brushing teeth, cooking and ice — where exposure can occur throughout the house. Unlike visible issues such as scale from our hard Tampa Bay-area water, TCE is a long-term exposure concern, and a whole-house approach gives you consistent control across the plumbing once you know the contaminant is present.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters an Audubon home, the most effective single whole-house option is granular activated carbon (GAC). GAC systems remove many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water moves through a deep carbon bed. Because contact time and properly sized media are key to performance, a correctly designed GAC unit for your household flow will provide treatment to every faucet and shower in the house.
A GAC whole-house filter should be sized to match your household’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work — especially important in hard-water homes like many in the Tampa Bay area where softening and scale control are common concerns. Carbon media does get exhausted, so replacement schedules should be set by usage and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. Sediment pretreatment is often added to protect the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help Audubon homeowners choose the right whole-house carbon configuration for their water and home.
