Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, frequently called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when released into the environment and migrates through soil into groundwater. It’s commonly used in degreasing and other industrial processes and can remain in water for long periods. Because TCE often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Havana may not detect it without testing—laboratory analysis is the only way to know whether your water contains trichloroethylene.
When trichloroethylene is a concern, many Havana residents prefer a solution that treats every tap rather than only a single point of use. Whole-house treatment matters for everyday activities like showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and making ice. Unlike visible water problems, TCE’s risks come from repeated exposure over time, so choosing a system that addresses the entire household supply helps you manage overall exposure once testing has identified the issue.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the water’s entry to your Havana home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is often the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing contaminants as water travels through a deep bed of carbon. Effective removal depends on sufficient contact time, so correctly sized carbon media and an appropriate flow design are essential. Installed at the main line, this style of system treats water for every faucet and shower in the house.
A properly sized GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match your Havana household’s water use so the carbon has enough contact time to work. Carbon capacity is finite, so replacement intervals should be determined by your usage and verified with follow-up testing when possible. Many homes also benefit from sediment prefiltration to protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. If TCE is your primary concern, Mr. Pure Water can help Havana homeowners select a whole-house carbon setup tailored to their water and home.
