Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial degreasing that can migrate from soil into groundwater and drinking supplies. It can remain in the environment for long periods, and because it often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, families in Capps wouldn’t be able to detect it without testing. If you’re concerned about TCE in your household water, the only way to know for sure is to have your water tested.
When TCE is identified in a home’s water, many Capps homeowners prefer a solution that protects every tap—from showers and baths to the kitchen sink—because everyday activities can lead to ongoing exposure. Unlike issues you can see or taste, trichloroethylene is primarily a long-term exposure concern, so treating only one fixture may not address the full risk. A whole-house strategy offers coverage throughout the house once testing shows TCE is present.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters a Capps home, the single most effective whole-house option is a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed; proper contact time—achieved with correctly sized media and flow design—is key to performance. Installed at the point of entry, a GAC whole-house system treats water for every faucet and shower in your home.
A GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should be sized to match your household’s water use in Capps so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work effectively. Carbon media becomes spent over time, so replacement schedules should reflect your usage and, ideally, follow-up testing to verify removal. Adding pretreatment like a sediment filter can also help prevent the carbon bed from clogging. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help Capps homeowners pick the right whole-house carbon setup for their house and water.
