Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when released into the environment and migrate through soil into groundwater. It’s widely used in industrial degreasing and can remain in the environment for long periods. Because low levels usually don’t change taste or smell, homeowners in Barth may not notice it without testing—lab analysis is the only reliable way to know whether your water contains trichloroethylene.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your water, many Barth homeowners prefer a solution that treats the whole house, not just a single faucet. Treating every tap covers everyday activities like showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and making ice. Unlike obvious aesthetic problems, TCE is a contaminant where the concern is long-term exposure, so a whole-house plan helps you address water quality throughout your home once you have confirmation from testing.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters a Barth home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is generally the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water moves through a deep carbon bed, and adequate contact time—achieved by correct media depth and flow design—is crucial for removal. Installed at the point of entry, this type of system protects every faucet and shower in the house.
A properly sized GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match your Barth household’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon media will need periodic replacement based on consumption, and follow-up testing is recommended to verify continued performance. Many homes also benefit from a sediment pre-filter to prevent premature clogging of the carbon bed. If TCE is a concern, Mr. Pure Water can help you select a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your water and your home.
