Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, also called TCE, is a synthetic solvent historically used in industrial degreasing that can migrate from soil into groundwater and sometimes reach drinking supplies. It can linger in the environment and often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, so homeowners won’t necessarily detect it by using the water. The only reliable way to know whether your Highland Lakes water contains trichloroethylene is to have it tested.
When trichloroethylene is a concern, many families in Highland Lakes prefer a solution that protects the entire house rather than treating only the kitchen tap. Whole-house treatment covers showers, baths, dishwashing, cooking, and ice makers — important when exposure risk is about everyday use over time rather than a visible problem. Especially in our Miami‑Dade area community, taking a whole-house approach gives peace of mind across every faucet once testing shows a need for action.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point where water enters a Highland Lakes home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically the most effective single-filter choice. GAC works by adsorbing volatile organic compounds like TCE as water flows through a deep carbon bed, and contact time—achieved with properly sized media and flow design—is key to performance. A correctly sized GAC system treats every faucet and shower in your house, so protection isn’t limited to one fixture.
A GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should be sized to match your household’s use so the carbon has sufficient contact time, particularly in Highland Lakes where hard municipal water and mineral scale can be part of local plumbing concerns. Carbon media eventually becomes exhausted, so replacement schedules should be guided by your water usage and follow-up testing when possible. Many homes add sediment pretreatment to prevent clogging and channeling of the carbon bed. If TCE is your specific worry, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your Highland Lakes home.
