Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when it’s released into the ground and migrates into groundwater. Often used historically for degreasing and other industrial purposes, it can remain in the environment for a long time. Because TCE usually has no distinct taste or smell at low concentrations, Gordon homeowners wouldn’t notice it without testing — a water test is the only way to know if it’s present.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your supply, many Gordon residents prefer a solution that protects the whole house rather than just a single tap. Treating every faucet and shower matters for daily activities like bathing, cooking, and brushing teeth, and it reduces overall exposure in the home. Unlike aesthetic problems, TCE is a long-term exposure concern, so a comprehensive, whole-house approach gives you peace of mind across your household.
To address trichloroethylene where water enters a Gordon home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is generally the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water moves through a deep carbon bed. Because removal depends on contact time, a correctly sized carbon media and proper flow design are essential for good performance. Installed at the main line, this style of system treats water for every fixture, not just one point of use.
A properly designed GAC whole-house system for TCE should match your household’s water use in Gordon so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon does become exhausted, so media replacement schedules should follow usage patterns and, ideally, periodic testing to verify the system is still reducing trichloroethylene. Many installations also include sediment prefiltration to protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. If you’re concerned about TCE, Mr. Pure Water can help pick a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your Gordon home and needs.
