Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, also called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industry that can move from contaminated soil into groundwater and drinking supplies. It often has little or no taste or smell at low concentrations, so homeowners around Navy Point might not notice it without testing. Because TCE can persist once it’s in the environment, the only reliable way to know if your household water contains it is to have the water professionally tested.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in a home’s supply, many Navy Point residents prefer a solution that protects every tap — not just a single sink. Treating the whole house matters for showering, bathing, cooking, brushing teeth and ice makers, since TCE is a long-term exposure concern rather than a problem you’d detect by taste or smell. A whole-house plan gives consistent protection throughout your home once you understand the contamination.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters a Navy Point home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically the best single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed. Because removal depends on contact time, the carbon media must be properly sized and the system designed for your household flow rates to achieve meaningful reduction. Installed at the point of entry, this style of system treats water for every faucet and shower in the house.
A well-sized GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match Navy Point household water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon has finite capacity, so media should be replaced on a schedule based on your usage and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. Many homes also benefit from simple pretreatment, like a sediment filter, to prevent the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If you’re concerned about TCE, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your Navy Point home and water profile.
