Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly 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 no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners around Lake Mary won’t detect it without testing. The only way to know whether your household water contains trichloroethylene is to have it analyzed.
When TCE is a concern, many Lake Mary residents prefer a solution that treats every outlet in the home — not just the kitchen tap. Whole-house treatment matters for showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and filling the ice machine. Unlike visible problems, trichloroethylene is an exposure risk over time, so a system that protects all faucets and showers gives broader peace of mind once testing shows it’s present.
A whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is the most effective single-filter choice for reducing trichloroethylene at the point of entry. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed; sufficient contact time and correctly sized media are key to good performance. Installed at the main line, this style of system treats every faucet and shower in your Lake Mary home.
To work well in a Lake Mary household — where hard, mineral-rich groundwater can contribute to scale and sediment — a GAC whole-house system should be sized to your family’s water use so the carbon has adequate contact time. Carbon media does become exhausted, so replacement schedules should follow usage and be verified with follow-up testing when possible. Adding prefiltration for sediment can help protect the carbon bed from clogging; Mr. Pure Water can recommend a GAC configuration that fits your Seminole County home and water conditions.
