Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly known as TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial degreasing that can sometimes migrate through soil into groundwater. It can linger in the environment and often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, so many Central City homeowners wouldn’t detect it without testing. The only reliable way to know whether your water contains trichloroethylene is to have it tested.
When trichloroethylene is a concern, residents in Central City usually prefer treatment that protects every tap—showers, baths, sinks, and the ice maker—not just the kitchen faucet. Because TCE’s risk comes from repeated exposure rather than an obvious nuisance like discoloration, a whole-house solution makes sense for everyday activities such as brushing teeth, cooking, and bathing. Once you confirm contamination through testing, a whole-home system gives you consistent control over your household water.
To address trichloroethylene at the point where water enters a Central City home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the single most effective option. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep bed of carbon. Because removal depends on contact time, the carbon media must be properly sized and the system designed for appropriate flow to achieve meaningful reduction. A whole-house GAC system treats water for every faucet and shower, so protection extends throughout the home.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house filter for Trichloroethylene should match your Central City household’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon won’t last forever, so media replacement schedules should reflect your usage and be guided by follow-up testing when possible. Many installations include sediment pretreatment to prevent the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If TCE is your specific concern, Mr. Pure Water can help design a whole-house carbon setup suited to your water and home.
