Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in degreasing and industrial processes that can migrate through soil into groundwater. Because it can persist once released and often has little or no smell or taste at low concentrations, homeowners in Keri and nearby Okaloosa County wouldn’t be able to spot it by sensory clues alone. The only reliable way to know whether your household water contains TCE is to have it tested.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your water, many Keri residents prefer a solution that treats every tap — not just the kitchen faucet. Whole-house treatment matters for showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking, and filling ice makers, because TCE exposure is a long-term concern rather than a visible or taste issue. A whole-home system gives consistent protection throughout houses in our humid subtropical area, whether you live near the Shoal River or in the Crestview neighborhoods.
The most effective single-filter option for reducing trichloroethylene at the point of entry is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them onto a deep carbon bed as water flows through. Because removal depends on contact time, it’s important the carbon media be properly sized and the system designed for your home’s flow rate and the moderate water hardness common in the western Florida Panhandle.
A properly sized GAC whole-house filter should match your household water demand so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon eventually reaches capacity, so replacement schedules should be set based on usage and verified with follow-up testing when possible. In Keri homes, adding sediment pretreatment can help prevent clogging and channeling of the carbon bed—especially where mineral content contributes to scale— and Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your water and household needs.
