Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is an industrial solvent that can move from soil into groundwater and sometimes into household supplies. Because it’s used for degreasing and similar purposes, it can persist where it’s released, and at low concentrations it usually has no noticeable taste or smell—so you can’t rely on your senses. The only way to know whether TCE is present in your Bear Hollow water is to have it tested.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your water, many Bear Hollow homeowners prefer a solution that protects every tap. Treating the whole house covers showers, baths, dishwashing, ice makers and all plumbing fixtures—important because TCE is a contaminant where exposure over time matters more than immediate, visible effects. A whole-house system gives you consistent protection throughout your home once you know what needs addressing.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point water enters a Bear Hollow home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically the most effective single-filter option. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed. Because contact time with the carbon is key, the media must be properly sized and the system designed for adequate flow to achieve meaningful removal—this approach protects every faucet and shower in the house.
A properly designed GAC whole-house filter should match your Bear Hollow household’s water usage so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work well. Carbon media will eventually become exhausted, so replacement schedules should be based on your usage and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. In Florida, groundwater often comes from limestone aquifers and is characteristically hard, so many homes add sediment pretreatment to prevent clogging or channeling of the carbon bed. If trichloroethylene is a concern, Mr. Pure Water can help select a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your home and water conditions.
