Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when released into the environment and migrates through soil into groundwater. It’s widely used in industrial degreasing and related applications and can remain in the environment for long periods. Because TCE often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Highland may not detect it without laboratory testing. The only reliable way to know whether your water contains trichloroethylene is to have it tested.
When trichloroethylene is present, many Highland residents prefer a solution that protects the whole house rather than a single faucet. Whole-house treatment covers showers, baths, brushing teeth, cooking and ice makers, addressing the everyday exposure pathways that matter most. Unlike visible or smelly water problems, TCE is a concern because of long-term exposure, so once testing shows any presence, a whole-house system is a practical way to manage water quality throughout your Highland home.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point where water enters a Highland home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the most effective single-filter option. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed. Contact time in the media is important, so a properly sized carbon tank and flow design are key for meaningful removal. Installed at the main line, this type of system treats water for every faucet and shower in the house.
A properly designed GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match your Highland household’s water use so the carbon has adequate contact time. Carbon media will eventually become exhausted, so replacement schedules should reflect your usage and, when possible, be guided by follow-up testing to verify performance. Many homes benefit from sediment pretreatment to protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help Highland homeowners choose a whole-house carbon configuration suited to their water and routine.
