Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, often called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used historically in degreasing and other industrial processes that can migrate from soil into groundwater. Because it can linger for long periods and usually has little taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Ave Maria may not notice it without testing. The only reliable way to know whether your household water contains trichloroethylene is to have it tested by a qualified lab.
Many Ave Maria residents want a fix that protects every faucet — not just a single point of use — because everyday activities like showering, bathing, brushing teeth and cooking expose the whole household. Unlike mineral scale from hard groundwater common in southwest Florida, TCE is a contaminant of concern because of repeated exposure over time rather than an obvious nuisance. Once testing confirms TCE is present, a whole-house solution gives consistent treatment throughout your home.
For treating trichloroethylene where water enters the house, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is generally the most effective single-filter option. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a substantial carbon bed; proper contact time depends on correctly sized media and flow design. Installed at the main line, this type of system protects every fixture in Ave Maria — from the kitchen to showers near the Ave Maria Oratory and Town Center.
A correctly specified whole-house GAC system should match your household’s water use so the carbon has adequate contact time to capture TCE. Because southwest Florida groundwater in Collier County is often hard, many homes pair GAC with sediment pretreatment to reduce channeling and extend carbon life. Carbon capacity is finite, so follow a media replacement schedule based on use and retesting when practical — and Mr. Pure Water can help Ave Maria homeowners size and maintain the right whole-house carbon setup for their property.
