Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when it seeps through soil into groundwater after environmental releases. It’s widely associated with industrial degreasing and can remain in the environment for long periods. Because TCE often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, Avalon homeowners won’t necessarily detect it without testing — the only reliable way to know what’s in your water.
When TCE is detected, many Avalon residents prefer a solution that treats every faucet and shower rather than just a single point of use. Whole-house treatment matters for daily activities like bathing, cooking, and making ice, and it addresses exposure across the home instead of focusing only on the kitchen sink. Since TCE is a long-term exposure concern rather than a cosmetic issue, a whole-house plan helps you manage water quality for your family throughout the house.
For entry-point protection in Avalon homes, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is the most effective single-filter choice for reducing trichloroethylene. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing contaminants as water flows through a deep bed of carbon. Contact time and correct sizing of the carbon media are key to performance, so a properly designed system with adequate flow rates is important. Installed at the main water line, this type of system treats water for every fixture in the home.
A GAC whole-house system for TCE should be sized to fit your household’s daily water use in Avalon so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work effectively. Carbon media will eventually become exhausted, so replacement schedules should be based on how much water you use and verified with follow-up testing when possible. Many installations include pretreatment such as sediment filters to protect the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If you’re focused on removing TCE, Mr. Pure Water can help recommend a whole-house carbon configuration tailored to your Avalon home.
