Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, also known as TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when it’s released into the environment and migrates through soil into groundwater. It’s commonly used in degreasing and other industrial processes and can remain in the environment for long periods. Because TCE often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, Bristol homeowners wouldn’t necessarily detect it without testing — the only reliable way to know whether it’s present in your water supply.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your household water, many residents in Bristol prefer a solution that protects every tap rather than a single point of use. Whole-house treatment covers daily activities like showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and filling ice trays, addressing the ongoing exposure concerns TCE presents rather than just a cosmetic issue. Choosing a system that treats all incoming water gives you consistent protection throughout your home once you know what contaminants are present.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters a Bristol home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is generally 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 removal depends on contact time, it’s important the carbon media be properly sized and the system designed for the home’s flow rates. A GAC whole-house system treats every faucet and shower, so the benefit isn’t confined to one fixture.
A properly designed GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match the size and water use of your Bristol household so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon media will eventually become exhausted, so replacement schedules should be based on your usage and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. Many homes also add sediment pretreatment to protect the carbon bed from clogging. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help Bristol homeowners select a whole-house carbon setup suited to their water and household needs.
