Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, often called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial degreasing that can travel through soil into groundwater and linger for a long time. At low concentrations it usually has no noticeable taste or smell, so homeowners around Harmony — including those in the planned community and Harmony West — wouldn’t detect it without testing. The only way to know whether your household water contains trichloroethylene is to have it tested by a qualified lab.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your supply, many Harmony homeowners prefer a solution that treats every tap rather than just a point-of-use unit. Whole-house treatment covers showers, baths, brushing teeth, cooking and ice makers — important because TCE is primarily a long-term exposure concern rather than a visible or taste-related problem. Taking a whole-home approach gives you consistent protection throughout the house once you know what needs to be addressed.
For treating trichloroethylene at the point where water enters a Harmony home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the single most effective filter choice. GAC reduces many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water moves through a deep bed of carbon. Because removal depends on contact time, it's important the carbon media be properly sized and the system designed for the household flow rates typical in Central Florida homes with hard groundwater.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house system should match your family’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon doesn't last forever, so media replacement should be scheduled based on consumption and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. In Harmony, where hard groundwater can cause sediment and mineral buildup, adding pretreatment like sediment filtration can help protect the carbon bed from premature clogging or channeling. Mr. Pure Water can help you select a whole-house carbon setup that fits your home's usage patterns and local water conditions.
