Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used historically in degreasing and other industrial tasks that can migrate from soil into groundwater. Because it can persist in the environment and often has no obvious taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Bascom may not notice it without testing. The only reliable way to know if your wells or connections are affected is to have your water tested specifically for trichloroethylene.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your household water, many Bascom residents prefer treatment that covers the whole house rather than a single faucet. Whole-house protection treats water used for showering, bathing, cooking, brushing teeth and appliance operation, which matters because TCE is a long-term exposure concern rather than an immediately obvious nuisance. Choosing a system that treats every tap gives families across the community one consistent level of protection.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point where water enters a Bascom home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is often the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water passes through a deep carbon bed. For good results the carbon must provide sufficient contact time, so correct media sizing and flow design are essential. Installed at the main line, this setup protects every faucet and shower throughout your house.
A properly specified GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should be sized to match your Bascom household’s daily water use so the carbon has adequate time to adsorb contaminants. Carbon media will eventually be exhausted, so replacement schedules should be based on your usage and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. Adding sediment pretreatment can help prevent the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If you’re worried about TCE, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a GAC configuration tailored to your water and home.
