Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, also called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial degreasing that can move from soils into groundwater. Because it often has little or no taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Felda — where many properties depend on private wells — may not notice a problem without testing. The only way to know if your well water contains trichloroethylene is to have it analyzed by a qualified lab.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your water, many Felda residents choose a solution that protects every tap rather than a single faucet. Whole-house treatment covers showers, baths, tooth brushing, cooking and appliances like ice makers — important in a community in Hendry County where households rely on their own well systems. Because TCE is a long-term exposure concern rather than a noticeable nuisance, treating the whole home gives broader peace of mind.
A whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is the most effective single-filter choice for reducing trichloroethylene at the point the water enters your Felda home. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed; sufficient contact time, proper media depth and correct flow design are key to meaningful removal. Installed at the main line, this style of system provides treated water to every faucet and shower in the house.
A properly sized GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should be chosen to match your family’s daily water use so the carbon has enough contact time to work. Because carbon capacity is limited, media replacement should follow a schedule based on your usage and, when practical, follow-up testing to confirm continued performance. In many Felda well systems, adding sediment pretreatment helps protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. If you’re concerned about TCE, Mr. Pure Water can assess your well and recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for your home.
