Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, often called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industry that can migrate from contaminated sites into groundwater and private wells. Because it’s used for degreasing and other manufacturing processes and can linger once it reaches water, TCE may be present without any noticeable taste or smell. Homeowners in Fenholloway should know that only laboratory testing can confirm whether their water contains trichloroethylene or its common abbreviation, TCE.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your supply, many Fenholloway residents prefer a solution that protects every tap — not just the kitchen. Addressing the whole house matters for showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking, and making ice, since TCE is a long-term exposure concern rather than a visible or smelly nuisance. A whole-house system gives you coverage throughout your home once you know what’s in your water.
For treating trichloroethylene at the point where water enters a Fenholloway home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is widely regarded as the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing contaminants as water passes through a deep bed of carbon. Because removal depends on contact time, the carbon media must be properly sized and the system designed for adequate flow to achieve meaningful reduction, and a GAC system treats water for every faucet and shower in the house.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match your Fenholloway household’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work effectively. Carbon will eventually become saturated, so media replacement should be scheduled based on your usage and confirmed with follow-up testing when feasible. Many homes also add sediment pretreatment to prevent the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If TCE is a concern, Mr. Pure Water can help select a whole-house carbon configuration suited to your water and home.
