Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic industrial solvent that can migrate into groundwater after environmental releases. Because it’s used for degreasing and other industrial purposes and can persist in the environment, it may be present without a telltale taste or smell at low concentrations. Green Point homeowners won’t know whether TCE is in their supply unless they test, so water testing is the only reliable way to detect it.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your home’s water, many Green Point residents choose a treatment that protects every tap rather than treating only the kitchen sink. Whole-house treatment matters for daily activities like showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and filling ice makers. Because TCE concerns are about exposure over time rather than a noticeable nuisance, treating the entire house gives broader protection once you know what’s present.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters Green Point homes, 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 contaminants as water moves through a substantial carbon bed. Contact time is important, so appropriately sized carbon media and properly designed flow rates are key to meaningful removal, and a whole-house GAC system treats water for every faucet and shower in your home.
A correctly specified GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should match the size of your Green Point household so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon will eventually become spent, so replacement intervals should be based on household use and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. Many homes also benefit from a sediment prefilter to protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your water and home.
