Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial degreasing that can migrate from soil into groundwater and, potentially, into household water supplies. Because it can persist in the environment and often has little or no taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in McDavid might not notice it without testing. The only reliable way to know if your water contains trichloroethylene is to have it professionally tested.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your water, many McDavid residents prefer a solution that protects the entire home rather than just a single tap. Whole-house treatment matters for everyday activities like showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking, and making ice. Because TCE is a contaminant of concern because of long-term exposure rather than an obvious nuisance, treating water at the point it enters your McDavid home gives you consistent protection across every faucet and fixture.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the main line, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is widely recognized as the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water passes through a deep carbon bed. Proper sizing and flow design are important in McDavid homes so the water has enough contact time with the media for meaningful removal, and a correctly configured system treats every faucet and shower in the house.
A properly engineered GAC whole-house filter should match your McDavid household’s water use to ensure the carbon has sufficient capacity and contact time. Carbon media will eventually need replacement, so schedules should be based on your consumption and verified with follow-up testing when possible. Many installations also include sediment pretreatment to protect the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If trichloroethylene is your specific concern, Mr. Pure Water can help design a whole-house carbon setup suited to your home.
