Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial degreasing that can migrate from soil into groundwater and reach drinking water supplies. It can persist in the environment for long periods and often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, so homeowners in Kern won’t necessarily detect it without testing. The only way to know if your water contains trichloroethylene is to have it sampled and analyzed.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your water, many Kern homeowners prefer a solution that protects every tap rather than treating just the kitchen faucet. Whole-house treatment matters for everyday activities—showers, baths, brushing teeth, cooking and filling humidifiers—because TCE is a long-term exposure concern rather than an obvious nuisance. Choosing a whole-home system lets you address water quality across the entire house once you know what contaminants are present.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters the home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep bed of carbon. Proper sizing and flow design are important because the carbon needs sufficient contact time to work well; when installed correctly, this type of system treats every faucet and shower in your Kern home rather than just one fixture.
A correctly designed whole-house GAC filter for trichloroethylene should be sized for your household’s water use so the carbon has adequate contact time. Carbon media will become exhausted, so replacement timing should be based on household demand and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. In many installations, a sediment prefilter is added to protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. If you’re in Kern and concerned about TCE, Mr. Pure Water can help select a whole-house carbon configuration suited to your home and water conditions.
