Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, also known as TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industry that can migrate through soil into groundwater. Because it often has no detectable taste or smell at low concentrations, household water can carry TCE without obvious signs, so testing is the only reliable way for Lawhons Mill homeowners to know whether it’s present in their supply.
For residents of Lawhons Mill who learn TCE is a concern, many prefer a solution that protects every tap — not just a single point like the kitchen sink. A whole-house system treats water used for bathing, cooking, brushing teeth and making ice, addressing exposure that happens over time rather than a one-off nuisance you can see or smell.
The most effective single-filter option for reducing trichloroethylene at the main line is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing contaminants as water flows through a deep carbon bed. Properly sized carbon media and flow design are important because contact time with the media determines performance, and a whole-house GAC unit treats every faucet and shower in your Lawhons Mill home.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house filter should match your family’s water use so the carbon has enough capacity and contact time to work effectively. Carbon does become spent, so replacement schedules should be based on household use and verified with follow-up testing when possible. Many installations in homes also include sediment prefiltration to protect the carbon bed from clogging; if TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to Lawhons Mill homes.
