Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industry that can migrate from contaminated soil into groundwater and drinking supplies. It’s been used for degreasing and other applications and can remain in the environment for a long time. At low concentrations it usually has no noticeable taste or smell, so homeowners in Lely typically won’t detect it without water testing — testing is the only way to know if trichloroethylene is present.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your water, many Lely homeowners prefer a solution that protects every tap. Treating the whole house matters for everyday activities like showering, bathing, cooking, making ice and brushing teeth — especially in our humid South Florida climate where families use water year-round. Because TCE is a concern for ongoing exposure rather than an immediately obvious nuisance, a whole-house approach gives broader coverage and peace of mind throughout your home.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the main water entry, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is generally the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing contaminants as water moves through a deep carbon bed. For Lely homes — where groundwater is often hard and systems face frequent, year-round use — properly sized carbon media and flow design are essential because contact time with the carbon determines how well TCE is removed. A whole-house GAC system treats water for every faucet and shower rather than limiting protection to a single fixture.
A GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should be sized to your household’s flow and 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 consumption and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. In many Collier County homes, adding a sediment prefilter helps prevent clogging and channeling of the carbon bed, especially given local water hardness and seasonal runoff. If you’re in Lely and worried about TCE, Mr. Pure Water can help design the right whole-house carbon configuration for your house and usage patterns.
