Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, also known as TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter groundwater when released into the environment and move through soils. It’s commonly linked to industrial uses like degreasing and can remain in water for long periods. Because TCE often has no noticeable taste or smell at low levels, Gritney homeowners can’t rely on sensory clues — testing your water is the only way to know if trichloroethylene is present.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your supply, many Gritney residents prefer a solution that protects every tap. Treating only the kitchen sink leaves showers, baths, and other daily uses unaddressed, and with TCE the concern is long-term exposure rather than an obvious nuisance. A whole-house system gives consistent treatment throughout your Florida home so you and your family are covered during everyday activities like bathing, cooking, and making ice.
For point-of-entry treatment, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically the single most effective option for reducing trichloroethylene. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed. Properly sized media and system flow rates are important in Gritney homes because contact time determines how well the carbon works. Installed at the main line, this approach treats water for every faucet and shower rather than just one fixture.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house filter should match your household’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to capture trichloroethylene. Carbon does become exhausted, so replacement schedules should be based on your usage and confirmed with follow-up testing where practical. In many systems, a sediment prefilter is added to protect the carbon from clogging or channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help Gritney homeowners choose a whole-house carbon setup that fits their water and family’s needs.
