Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly known as TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial degreasing that can migrate into groundwater when released into the environment. Because it can persist in soil and water and often has little to no taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Boca Del Mar may not notice it without testing. The only reliable way to know whether your water contains trichloroethylene is with a proper water test.
When testing shows trichloroethylene in a household supply, many Boca Del Mar residents prefer a solution that protects every tap — not just the kitchen sink. Whole-house treatment covers showers, baths, toothbrushing and cooking, addressing the ongoing exposure concerns that make TCE different from more obvious water problems. Taking a whole-home approach gives you control over water quality throughout your Palm Beach County property once you understand your test results.
For treating trichloroethylene at the main water entry point, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is generally the single most effective option. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water passes through a deep carbon media. Because removal depends on contact time, a correctly sized carbon bed and proper flow design are important to achieve meaningful reduction. Installed at the point of entry, this style of system treats every faucet and shower in your Boca Del Mar home.
A GAC whole-house system should be sized for your household’s water use so the media gets enough contact time to work — a key consideration in Boca Del Mar where municipal water is typically hard and homes may see more mineral buildup. Carbon media does have a finite capacity, so replacement should follow a schedule based on usage and, ideally, periodic retesting to confirm continued performance. Many installations also include sediment prefiltration to protect the carbon bed from clogging; Mr. Pure Water can help recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your home and water conditions.
