Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial cleaning that can migrate through soil into groundwater and sometimes reach drinking supplies. Because it can persist once released and often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Cox won’t necessarily detect it without testing. The only reliable way to know if your water contains trichloroethylene is to have it tested.
When trichloroethylene is confirmed in a house’s water, many Cox residents prefer a whole-house solution that treats every tap — not just the kitchen sink. That comprehensive coverage is important for everyday activities like showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and making ice. Unlike issues you can see or smell, TCE is a concern because of cumulative exposure, so installing treatment for the entire home helps you manage water quality for your family.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point where water enters a Cox home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing contaminants as water flows through a deep carbon bed. Effective removal depends on adequate contact time, which means the carbon media must be properly sized and the system designed for your household flow rates. A GAC whole-house system treats water for every faucet and shower, providing protection throughout the home.
A properly sized GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match your family’s water use in Cox so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon has finite capacity, so media replacement should follow your usage patterns and, ideally, be guided by follow-up testing to verify continued performance. Many installations also include sediment pretreatment to prevent the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your Cox home and water needs.
