Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial cleaning and degreasing that can migrate into groundwater when released into the environment. It can linger in water for long periods and often has no noticeable taste or smell at concentrations that matter, so Footman homeowners can’t rely on senses alone. The only reliable way to know whether your household water contains trichloroethylene is to have it tested.
When testing shows trichloroethylene in a home’s supply, many families in Footman prefer a solution that treats every tap — not just the kitchen sink. A whole-house system covers showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and ice-making, which is important because TCE exposure is a cumulative concern rather than a visible nuisance. Once you know your water’s status, a whole-home approach gives consistent protection throughout the house.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point where water enters a Footman home, the most effective single-filter whole-house option is granular activated carbon (GAC). GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed. For good removal, the carbon must be properly sized and the system designed to provide sufficient contact time at your household’s flow rates. Installed at the main line, this type of system treats water for every faucet and shower in the home.
A properly designed GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should be sized to your household’s water use so the media has enough contact time to work. Carbon capacity is finite, so replacement intervals should be based on how much water you use and verified with follow-up testing when possible. In some Footman homes, adding sediment pretreatment helps protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help you select a whole-house carbon configuration suited to your home and water.
