Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, often shortened to TCE, is a synthetic solvent used historically in industrial degreasing that can migrate through soil into groundwater and reach drinking supplies. It can remain in the environment for long periods and typically has little to no taste or odor at low concentrations, so homeowners in Glass may not notice it without testing. The only way to know if your household water contains trichloroethylene is to have it analyzed by a qualified lab.
Many Glass residents prefer a treatment that protects every tap once trichloroethylene is identified, because exposure can occur during showering, bathing, cooking, and other daily activities — not just from drinking. Unlike nuisance contaminants you can see or smell, TCE is a concern because of long-term exposure, so a whole-house solution makes sense for homeowners who want consistent protection throughout their property.
The most effective single whole-house option for reducing trichloroethylene at the point of entry is a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water moves through a deep carbon bed. For meaningful removal in Glass homes, the carbon media must be properly sized and the system designed for sufficient contact time and flow rate so every faucet and shower receives treated water.
A correctly specified GAC whole-house system should match your household’s water use in Glass so the carbon has enough capacity and contact time to work effectively. Because carbon media is finite, replacement schedules should be set based on your usage and confirmed with periodic testing when possible. Many installations also include sediment pretreatment to protect the carbon bed from clogging. If trichloroethylene is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help pick a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your home and usage patterns.
