Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, often called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when it moves from nearby soil into groundwater after being released. Commonly used for degreasing and other industrial tasks, it can remain in the environment for long periods and typically has little or no taste or smell at low concentrations, so you wouldn’t notice it by drinking alone. The only reliable way for Century homeowners to know whether their water contains trichloroethylene is to have it tested.
When trichloroethylene is found in a household supply, many families in Century prefer a solution that treats every tap — not just a countertop or under-sink unit. Whole-house treatment matters for daily activities like showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking, and making ice. Because TCE is a concern primarily for ongoing exposure rather than immediate taste or odor, installing a system that protects the entire home can give you greater peace of mind.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point where water enters your Century home, the most effective single-filter option is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing contaminants as water flows through a deep bed of carbon. Contact time is important, so a correctly sized carbon media and proper flow design are needed to achieve meaningful removal, and this approach treats water for every faucet and shower in the house.
A properly designed GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should be sized for your household’s water use in Century so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work effectively. Carbon’s capacity is limited, so media replacement should be scheduled based on your water usage and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. Many installations include sediment pretreatment to protect the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help you select a whole-house carbon setup that matches your home and water conditions.
