Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial degreasing that can migrate from contaminated soil into groundwater and, potentially, into household supplies. It doesn’t usually have a noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, so Delray Gardens homeowners wouldn’t rely on senses alone to detect it. The only reliable way to know if TCE is present in your water is to have the supply tested.
When TCE is a concern, many Delray Gardens residents prefer a solution that treats every faucet rather than just a single point of use. A whole-house system protects showers, baths, brushing teeth, cooking and ice makers—important in our humid subtropical climate where home water is used constantly. Because TCE exposure is a long-term issue rather than a cosmetic problem, treating the main line gives you consistent coverage throughout the house.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the service entrance, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is widely regarded as the most effective single-filter option. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed; sufficient contact time, achieved with correctly sized media and flow rates, is key for performance. Installed at the point where water enters a Delray Gardens home, this style of system treats every fixture rather than only individual taps.
A properly designed GAC whole-house filter should be sized to your household’s daily water demand so the carbon has enough contact time to adsorb contaminants. Because Palm Beach County water tends to be hard and mineral-rich, many Delray Gardens homes also include sediment or other pretreatment to protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. Carbon media will eventually need replacement based on consumption and follow-up testing; Mr. Pure Water can help select the right GAC configuration for your home and maintenance plan.
