Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial degreasing that can migrate into groundwater when released into the environment. Because it can persist for long periods and often has little or no taste or odor at low concentrations, homeowners in Lakemont may not detect it without laboratory testing. The only reliable way to know if your household water contains trichloroethylene is to have your water sample tested by a qualified lab.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your supply, many Lakemont residents prefer a remedy that protects every faucet and shower rather than treating a single tap. A whole-house system covers daily activities like showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking, and ice-making, addressing exposure throughout the home. Because TCE is a long-term exposure concern rather than a visible or taste issue, installing treatment at the point where water enters the house gives broader protection for your family.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the main line, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is the most effective single-filter choice. GAC reduces many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep bed of carbon. Contact time and proper sizing matter, so a system designed for Lakemont’s typical household flow rates and the hard, mineral-rich water common in central Florida will deliver better removal performance. Installed at the point of entry, this approach treats every fixture and shower in the home.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house filter should match your household’s daily water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon media will eventually be exhausted, so replacement schedules should be based on your usage and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. In Lakemont homes, where groundwater tends to be hard and can carry sediment and minerals, adding pretreatment like a sediment filter helps protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. Mr. Pure Water can help you size a whole-house carbon system and recommend pretreatment to fit your home’s water profile and needs.
