Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, frequently called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used historically in degreasing and other industrial processes that can migrate from the ground into groundwater and drinking supplies. Because TCE can persist in the environment and often has little to no taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Chatham may not notice it without testing. The only reliable way to know whether your water contains trichloroethylene is to have it tested.
When trichloroethylene is detected in a home's water, many Chatham residents prefer a solution that protects every tap — not just the kitchen sink — so showers, baths, tooth brushing, cooking and ice makers are all covered. Unlike aesthetic issues you can see or smell, TCE is a long-term exposure concern, so a whole-house system gives broader peace of mind across daily household use once testing has identified the problem.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters a Chatham home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically 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. Effective removal depends on sufficient contact time, so proper sizing of the carbon media and system flow design are important. Installed at the main line, this style of system treats water for every faucet and shower in the house.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match your Chatham household’s water use so the carbon has enough contact time to work. Carbon media eventually becomes exhausted, so replacement timing should be based on household demand and, ideally, confirmed with follow-up testing to verify continued performance. Many homeowners also add sediment prefiltration to prevent the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help pick a whole-house carbon configuration suited to your home and water profile.
