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 to the environment and migrates through soil into groundwater. It’s widely used in industrial degreasing and can remain in water for extended periods. Because TCE often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, Greensboro homeowners may not detect it without testing — laboratory analysis is the only way to know if your water contains trichloroethylene.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in a home’s supply, many people in Greensboro prefer a solution that treats every tap rather than just a point-of-use fixture. Whole-house treatment protects showers, baths, faucets and ice makers — important because TCE exposure is about long-term contact, not cosmetic effects you’d easily notice. Taking a whole-home approach helps you manage water quality throughout your Greensboro house once you understand the issue.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters a Greensboro 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 contaminants as water passes through a deep carbon bed. Contact time is important, so correct carbon media sizing and flow design are key for meaningful reduction. Installed at the main line, this system provides treatment for every faucet and shower in the house.
A properly designed GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should be sized to match your Greensboro household’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time. Carbon does have finite capacity, so media replacement should follow your household’s usage and, when feasible, be guided by follow-up testing to verify continued performance. Many homes also benefit from sediment pretreatment to prevent channeling or premature clogging of the carbon bed. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon setup that suits your water profile and home.
