Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used historically in degreasing and other industrial processes that can migrate from soil into groundwater and drinking supplies. It can persist in the environment and often has little or no taste or smell at levels that may be concerning, so homeowners in Marathon can’t rely on senses alone—testing is the only way to know whether your water contains trichloroethylene.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your water, many Marathon residents prefer a solution that treats every faucet and shower rather than only a single point of use. A whole-house system covers everyday activities—showering, bathing, cooking, making ice, and brushing teeth—so you’re addressing ongoing exposure throughout the home. Given our tropical maritime climate and the way coastal properties use municipal or private well and cistern systems, a whole-house approach gives broader protection once you know TCE is present.
For treating incoming water to the house, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is widely recognized as the most effective single-filter option for reducing trichloroethylene. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed. Proper sizing and flow design matter because contact time with the carbon determines performance, and a correctly installed system treats water at every tap in your Marathon home.
A correctly specified GAC whole-house filter should match your household’s water demand so the carbon has sufficient contact time to adsorb trichloroethylene. Carbon media eventually becomes saturated, so replacement schedules should be based on your usage and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. In Marathon, many homes also benefit from sediment pretreatment to protect the carbon bed from clogging—especially with coastal salt air and storm exposure potentially affecting systems. If TCE is a concern, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon setup that fits your property, water source, and daily needs.
