Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, often abbreviated TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when it moves from the surface into groundwater. Historically used in degreasing and other industrial applications, TCE can remain in the environment for long periods and may be present without any taste or smell at low concentrations. That’s why testing is the only way for Cana homeowners to know whether trichloroethylene is in their water and to decide on the right next steps.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in a household supply, many Cana residents prefer a solution that treats every outlet in the home. Whole-house treatment protects showers, baths, ice makers and all taps — important because TCE concerns are about repeated exposure over time rather than an obvious aesthetic problem. In our humid subtropical part of Florida, taking a whole-home approach helps ensure the water you and your family use throughout the house is addressed, not just the water at one sink.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point the water enters a Cana home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing contaminants as water flows through a deep carbon bed. Proper sizing and flow design are important because contact time with the carbon affects performance, and a correctly configured GAC system treats every faucet and shower in the house.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should match your Cana household’s water use so the carbon has adequate contact time to work. Carbon media will eventually need replacement, so schedules should be based on your usage and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. In many homes a sediment prefilter is added to protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. If trichloroethylene is a concern for your home, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a GAC whole-house configuration that fits your water and living patterns.
