Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial degreasing that can migrate through soil into groundwater and drinking supplies. It can linger in the environment for long periods, and at low concentrations it usually has no taste or smell—so Everglades homeowners won’t necessarily notice it. The only reliable way to know if your property’s water contains trichloroethylene is to have the water tested.
When trichloroethylene is detected, many families around the Everglades want whole-house protection so every tap—showers, baths, ice makers and faucets—is treated, not just the kitchen sink. That matters here where humid, coastal conditions and hard, mineral-rich water can complicate appliance and plumbing exposure. Because TCE exposure is a long-term health concern rather than a visible or odorous problem, a whole-house system gives homeowners confidence that water used across the home is being addressed once testing shows a need.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point where water enters an Everglades home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is generally 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. Contact time and correct sizing are important for good removal, so systems designed with appropriate media depth and flow rates are key. A whole-house GAC treats all faucets and showers, so protection covers the entire house.
A properly designed GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should be sized to match your Everglades household’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon media have finite capacity, so plan on media replacement intervals based on usage and confirm performance with follow-up testing when possible. In many South Florida homes, adding pretreatment like sediment filtration helps protect the carbon from clogging—especially where coastal sediment or storm-related turbidity is a concern. If TCE is your worry, Mr. Pure Water can help you pick the right whole-house carbon setup for your home in the Everglades.
