Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, often called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can reach drinking water when it’s released into the environment and moves through soil into groundwater. It’s widely used in industrial degreasing and can linger for long periods once present. Because TCE usually has little or no taste or smell at low concentrations, Frog City homeowners wouldn’t necessarily notice it without testing—so a water test is the only way to know if TCE is in your supply.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in a household supply, many Frog City families prefer a solution that treats the whole home, not just a single faucet. Treating every tap matters for showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking, and filling ice machines. TCE isn’t a cosmetic issue you’ll spot easily; the concern is longer-term exposure, so a whole-house system gives broader protection throughout your home once you understand your water.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the main water entry, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the most effective single-filter option. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water passes through a deep carbon bed. Because removal depends on contact time, properly sized carbon media and correct flow design are key to meaningful reduction. Installed at the point of entry, this style of system treats water for every faucet and shower in Frog City homes.
A properly sized GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match your household’s water use so the carbon has adequate contact time. Carbon media do become exhausted, so replacement schedules should reflect your water demand and, ideally, follow-up testing to confirm the system’s performance. Many Frog City installations include sediment prefiltration to protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help you pick a whole-house carbon setup suited to your home and water profile.
