Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter groundwater if released into the environment and migrate through soil. It’s widely used in industrial degreasing and can remain in water for long periods. Because TCE often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, Monkey Box homeowners wouldn’t detect it without testing—so lab analysis is the only reliable way to know if it’s present.
When TCE is a concern, many Monkey Box residents prefer a solution that treats all taps rather than just a single point. Whole-house treatment matters for everyday activities like showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and filling ice trays. Unlike visible contaminants, TCE is primarily a long-term exposure issue, so a homewide approach gives you consistent control of your family’s water once testing confirms the need.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters your Monkey Box home, the most effective single-filter option is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water moves through a deep carbon bed. Because contact time between water and media affects performance, the system must be properly sized and designed for your flow rates. A whole-house GAC install protects every faucet and shower, not just one fixture.
A correctly configured GAC whole-house filter in Monkey Box should match your household’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon media will eventually need replacement, so schedules should be based on your usage and follow-up testing when possible to verify continued removal. In Florida’s humid subtropical climate, and after heavy storms that can increase source turbidity, many homes add a sediment prefilter to protect the carbon from clogging and channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help size and specify a whole-house carbon setup that fits your home and testing results.
