Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is an industrial solvent that can enter drinking water when it seeps through soil into groundwater. It’s been widely used for degreasing and related purposes and can remain in the environment for long periods. Because TCE often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, Hicoria homeowners won’t necessarily notice it without testing—lab analysis is the only way to know if your water contains trichloroethylene.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your supply, many people in Hicoria prefer a solution that treats every faucet rather than just a single point. Whole-house treatment protects showers, baths, sinks, and appliances—important in our humid subtropical area where residents use water year-round. Unlike visible problems, TCE is a long-term exposure concern, so a home-wide approach can give peace of mind across everyday activities like brushing teeth, cooking and making ice.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters the home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a substantial carbon bed. Because removal depends on contact time, the carbon’s depth and flow design must be sized correctly to be effective. A properly installed GAC system treats every tap and shower in your Hicoria home rather than just one fixture.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house filter should match your Hicoria household’s water use so the media has enough contact time to work. Carbon eventually becomes exhausted, so replacement schedules should reflect your consumption and be guided by follow-up testing when possible. Adding pretreatment such as a sediment filter can help prevent the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If trichloroethylene is your primary concern, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon configuration suited to your home and local service conditions.
