Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industry that can travel through soil and reach groundwater. Because it can persist in the environment and often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Gaskins Still may not be aware of its presence without testing. The only reliable way to know whether your household water contains trichloroethylene is to have the water tested.
When trichloroethylene is detected, many Gaskins Still residents prefer a fix that treats every tap so showers, baths, cooking, ice makers and toothbrushing are all covered. TCE is primarily a long-term exposure concern rather than a visible or odorous problem, so addressing it across the whole house gives you consistent protection and peace of mind once testing shows it’s present.
For treating trichloroethylene at the point where water enters a Gaskins Still home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is generally the best single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing contaminants as water flows through a deep carbon bed. Effective removal depends on sufficient contact time, so correct carbon bed sizing and flow design are important. A properly installed GAC system provides treatment for every faucet and shower in the house.
A GAC whole-house system sized for your household’s water usage will give the carbon media the contact time needed to reduce trichloroethylene. Carbon has finite capacity, so replacement intervals should be planned based on how much water you use and verified with follow-up testing when possible. In some homes in Gaskins Still, adding sediment pretreatment helps protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can assess your situation and recommend the right whole-house carbon setup for your home.
