Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a manufactured solvent used in industrial degreasing that can migrate through soil into groundwater. Because it often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, families around Lake Placid may not detect it without testing. The only way to know if your well or supply contains trichloroethylene is to have the water tested by a qualified lab.
When TCE is present in a household supply, many Lake Placid homeowners prefer a solution that treats every tap — not just a point-of-use filter at the kitchen sink. Whole-house treatment matters for showers, baths, laundry, cooking and ice, and it gives you city and rural properties across Highlands County consistent protection. Because trichloroethylene is a concern from repeated exposure rather than an obvious taste or stain, addressing the entire plumbing system is often the most reassuring approach.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the main water entry, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing contaminants as water flows through a deep carbon bed. Proper sizing and flow design — especially important in Lake Placid homes with hard groundwater that can affect system performance — help ensure sufficient contact time for meaningful removal. A whole-house GAC system treats every faucet and shower for comprehensive coverage.
A correctly specified GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should match your household water use so the carbon has enough contact time to work. Carbon media eventually becomes exhausted, so replacement schedules should reflect your consumption and, when possible, follow-up testing to verify removal. In many Lake Placid properties, adding sediment pretreatment helps protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling due to mineral and particulate buildup common with hard water. Mr. Pure Water can help select a whole-house carbon configuration suited to your home and Highlands County water conditions.
