Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industry that can reach drinking water when it moves from soil into groundwater. It’s frequently associated with degreasing and related uses and can persist once present. Because TCE often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, Foley homeowners won’t detect it by simply smelling or tasting their water — testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s present.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your water, many Foley residents prefer a solution that protects the entire house rather than only a single tap. Whole-house treatment matters for showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking, and every faucet where exposure can occur. Unlike visible problems such as staining or cloudiness, TCE is a long-term exposure concern, so treating water at the point of entry gives you consistent protection throughout your home.
To reduce trichloroethylene as water enters a Foley home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed. Because removal depends on contact time, a properly sized carbon media and well-designed flow rate are key to meaningful reduction. Installed at the main line, this style of system treats water for every faucet and shower in the house.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should match your Foley household’s daily water use so the carbon has adequate contact time to work. Carbon eventually becomes exhausted, so media change intervals should be determined by use and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. Many homes also benefit from a sediment prefilter to protect the carbon bed from clogging. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your water and home.
