Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industry that can enter groundwater when released into the environment and migrate through soil. Because it can persist and often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Delta may not detect it without testing. The only reliable way to know if your drinking water contains trichloroethylene is to have the water tested by a qualified lab.
When trichloroethylene is identified in a home’s supply, many Delta residents prefer a solution that treats every faucet and shower, not just the kitchen tap. Treating the whole house matters for daily activities like bathing, brushing teeth, cooking, and making ice. Unlike visible complaints such as cloudiness or discoloration, TCE is a concern because of ongoing exposure potential, so a whole-house strategy gives peace of mind across the entire home once test results point to a problem.
To address trichloroethylene where water enters a Delta home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is generally 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. Because removal depends on contact time, systems must be sized with the right carbon depth and flow rate to be effective. A properly designed GAC whole-house unit treats every fixture so protection isn’t limited to one point of use.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house filter for Delta homes should match your household’s typical water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to adsorb contaminants. Carbon has finite capacity, so media replacement should follow usage patterns and be verified with periodic testing when possible. Many installations 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 configuration suited to your Delta home and water use.
