Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is an industrial solvent that can move from contaminated soil into groundwater and sometimes reach household supplies. Because it’s man-made and can persist in the environment, it may be present without any noticeable taste or smell — so Fidelis homeowners can’t rely on senses alone. The only way to know if your water contains trichloroethylene is to have it tested professionally.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your home’s water, many families in Fidelis prefer a solution that protects every faucet and shower rather than treating a single point. Whole-house treatment covers everyday uses like bathing, cooking, ice making and oral care, which is important because TCE’s risks come from repeated exposure over time rather than obvious aesthetic problems. Installing treatment at the point of entry gives you control over water quality throughout your house once you know what needs addressing.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters a Fidelis 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 flows through a deep carbon bed. Adequate contact time is key, so properly sized media and flow design are essential to achieve meaningful removal. This approach treats all fixtures, so protection isn’t limited to just the kitchen.
A properly designed GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should be sized to match your household’s water use in Fidelis so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon does saturate over time, so replacement schedules depend on usage and are best guided by periodic testing to verify performance. Many installations include sediment pretreatment to prevent clogging and channeling of the carbon bed. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help recommend a whole-house carbon configuration tailored to your home and water needs.
