Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial degreasing that can migrate into groundwater when released into the environment. Because it can persist without obvious taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Cardwell can’t rely on senses alone to detect it. The only reliable way to know if TCE is present in your well or municipal supply is to have your water tested.
If testing shows TCE in your home's water, many Cardwell residents prefer a solution that treats every tap — not just the kitchen sink. Whole-house treatment protects showers, baths, tooth brushing, cooking and ice makers, which matters because exposure is cumulative rather than immediately noticeable. Given Florida’s variable water quality between systems and wells, a whole-home strategy gives broader peace of mind once you know what contaminants you’re addressing.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters your Cardwell house, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed — and contact time is key. Properly sized carbon media and a flow design that provides adequate contact are important for meaningful removal, and a whole-house GAC system treats every faucet and shower in your home.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house system for Cardwell homes should match your household’s water use so the media has enough contact time to work. Carbon’s ability to adsorb contaminants is finite, so replace media on a schedule based on your usage and, when possible, follow-up testing to confirm continued performance. In many installations, sediment pretreatment is added to protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. If you’re concerned about TCE specifically, Mr. Pure Water can help select a whole-house carbon setup suited to your water and home.
