Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, often called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial degreasing that can migrate through soil into groundwater. Because it can persist in the environment and often has little or no taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Kings Point may not notice it without testing. The only reliable way to know whether your water contains trichloroethylene is to have it tested by a certified laboratory.
When trichloroethylene is present in a home’s water, many Kings Point residents prefer a solution that protects every tap — showers, baths, kitchen and bathroom sinks, and ice makers — rather than a point‑of‑use device. Because TCE’s risk comes from long‑term exposure rather than an obvious odor or taste, addressing the whole-house supply gives peace of mind for everyday activities like bathing and cooking throughout your Palm Beach County home.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the service entrance, the most effective single whole‑house option is a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing contaminants as water flows through a deep carbon bed. For homeowners in Kings Point — where hard water from the local aquifer can contribute to scale — it's important that the carbon media be properly sized and the system designed for adequate contact time and flow to achieve meaningful removal across every faucet and shower.
A well‑sized GAC whole‑house filter should be matched to your household’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time with the water. Carbon does eventually exhaust, so media replacement schedules should be planned around your usage and confirmed with follow‑up testing when possible. In Kings Point homes, adding pretreatment like sediment filtration can help prevent clogging and channeling of the carbon bed — Mr. Pure Water can help you select a whole‑house carbon setup tailored to your water conditions and household needs.
