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 and often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Casselberry and Seminole County can’t rely on senses alone to know if it’s present. The only way to be sure is to test your water so you can decide if treatment is needed.
When TCE is a concern, many Casselberry homeowners prefer a solution that protects the whole house rather than just one tap. Whole-house treatment covers showers, laundry, cooking, ice makers and every faucet—important for everyday exposure during bathing, brushing teeth and food preparation. Because TCE is more about long-term exposure than an obvious nuisance, a comprehensive approach gives you consistent control over your indoor water quality.
The most effective single-filter option for treating trichloroethylene at the point of entry is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing contaminants as water passes through a deep carbon bed; adequate contact time, correct media volume and proper flow design are key to performance. A properly sized GAC unit treats all water entering your Casselberry home—helping protect fixtures and appliances in our hard-water area as well as every faucet and shower.
A well-sized GAC whole-house filter should match your family’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to remove TCE. Carbon media will eventually need replacement, so schedule changes based on household demand and follow-up testing to verify effectiveness. In Casselberry properties, adding simple pretreatment like sediment filtration can help protect the carbon bed from clogging, especially with hard, Central Florida groundwater. If TCE is your specific worry, Mr. Pure Water can help design a whole-house carbon system tailored to your home and usage patterns.
