Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is an industrial solvent that can migrate through soil into groundwater and reach household supplies. Because it’s man-made and used for degreasing and other industrial tasks, it can persist where it enters the environment. At low levels TCE usually has no noticeable taste or smell, so Edgewood homeowners won’t reliably detect it without laboratory testing — testing is the only way to know if it’s present in your water.
When trichloroethylene is found in a home’s water, many families in Edgewood prefer treatment that protects every tap — not just the kitchen sink — since people are exposed while showering, brushing teeth, cooking and making ice. Unlike mineral scaling common with our hard Central Florida groundwater, TCE is a contaminant where the concern is long-term exposure rather than an obvious nuisance, so a whole-house approach is often the most practical way to manage risk once testing shows it’s needed.
The single whole-house filter type most effective for reducing trichloroethylene at the service line is a granular activated carbon (GAC) system. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds such as TCE by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed. Because contact time affects removal, properly sized carbon media and a flow design matched to your household are important — especially in Edgewood homes where hard water and frequent irrigation-driven use can influence overall system demand. A correctly specified GAC system treats every faucet and shower, so protection covers the whole house.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house filter should match your family’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to capture TCE; capacity is finite, so media changes need to follow usage and periodic testing. In Edgewood, where Central Florida groundwater is typically hard and outdoor water use is year-round, many homes also add sediment pretreatment to prevent the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can assess your home and recommend the right whole-house carbon configuration for your water and routine needs.
