Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, often shortened to TCE, is a manufactured solvent that can enter drinking water when released into the environment and then travels through soil into groundwater. It’s commonly associated with degreasing and industrial uses and can remain in the environment for long periods. Because TCE usually has little or no taste or smell at low concentrations, Beaver Creek homeowners can’t rely on senses to detect it — testing is the only way to know whether your water contains trichloroethylene.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in a house’s supply, many Beaver Creek residents prefer a solution that protects every tap rather than treating just the kitchen sink. That whole-house perspective matters for showers, baths, brushing teeth, cooking and ice-makers. Unlike visible water problems, TCE is a long-term exposure concern rather than a cosmetic nuisance, so addressing it across the entire home gives you more complete control over your family’s water quality.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters a Beaver Creek 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 flows through a substantial carbon bed. Because removal depends on contact time, the carbon media must be properly sized and the system designed for appropriate flow to achieve meaningful reduction. Installed at the main line, this style of filter treats water for every faucet and shower so protection isn’t limited to a single fixture.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match your Beaver Creek household’s water usage so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon eventually becomes exhausted, so replacement schedules should be based on your actual usage and verified with follow-up testing when possible. Many systems also include sediment prefiltration to prevent the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help you select a whole-house carbon setup suited to your home and water conditions.
