Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when releases migrate through soil into groundwater. It’s widely used in industrial degreasing and can remain in the environment for long periods. Because TCE often has no noticeable taste or smell at low levels, Chapel Hill homeowners won’t detect it without testing; a water test is the only way to know if trichloroethylene is present in your supply.
When trichloroethylene is found in a home’s water, many people in Chapel Hill want treatment that protects every tap — not just a single point like the kitchen sink. Whole-house treatment covers showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and ice makers, which matters because TCE exposure is a concern over time rather than a visible or odorous nuisance. Once you’ve tested and confirmed TCE in your water, a whole-home approach gives you consistent protection across the house.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the main water entry, the most effective single whole-house option is a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing contaminants as water flows through a deep carbon bed. Because removal depends on contact time, the carbon media must be sized and plumbed for proper flow to achieve meaningful reduction. A correctly designed GAC whole-house system treats water for every faucet and shower in your Chapel Hill home.
A properly sized GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match your Chapel Hill household’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time. Carbon eventually becomes saturated, so media replacement schedules should reflect your usage and follow-up testing when possible to verify continued performance. Many installations also include sediment pretreatment to protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your water and home.
