Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, often shortened to TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water if it’s released into soil and moves into groundwater. Commonly used in industrial degreasing and other processes, it can persist in the environment and may be present without any noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations. Because you can’t rely on senses alone, testing is the only way to know whether your Ensley home’s water contains trichloroethylene.
When trichloroethylene is a concern for a household, many Ensley homeowners prefer a solution that protects every tap — not just the kitchen faucet. Treating the whole house means coverage for showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and ice makers, addressing the cumulative exposure people worry about with TCE rather than just a cosmetic issue. Once you have test results in hand, a whole-house approach gives you consistent protection throughout your home.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point where water enters an Ensley home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is often the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water travels through a deep bed of carbon. Because the contact time between water and media affects performance, the carbon volume and flow design must be sized properly to achieve meaningful removal. Installed at the main water line, this type of system treats water for every faucet and shower in the house.
A properly sized GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should match your household’s daily water use in Ensley so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon media will eventually need replacement, so service intervals should be based on your usage and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. Many installations include sediment pretreatment to protect the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help you pick a whole-house carbon setup that fits your home and water profile.
