Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when it’s released into the environment and migrates through soil to groundwater. It’s widely used in industrial degreasing and can remain in water for long periods. Because TCE often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, Coral Hills homeowners wouldn’t know it’s present without testing — the only reliable way to confirm whether your water contains trichloroethylene.
When trichloroethylene is detected, many Coral Hills families prefer a solution that protects every tap — not just the kitchen sink — so showers, baths, cooking, ice makers and toothbrushing are all covered. Unlike issues you can see or smell, TCE is a concern because of ongoing exposure over time, so a whole-house system gives comprehensive control across the home once testing shows it’s needed.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point where water enters your Coral Hills home, the most effective single-filter option is a whole-house granular activated carbon 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 systems sized with sufficient carbon media and proper flow design are key to 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 to match your Coral Hills household’s water use so the carbon has adequate contact time. Carbon capacity is finite, so media replacement should follow usage and, when practical, follow-up testing to verify performance. In South Florida’s typically hard water, adding sediment or other pretreatment can help prevent the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help select a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your home and water conditions.
