Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, also called TCE, is an industrial solvent that can travel from the environment into groundwater and sometimes into household water supplies. Because it’s man-made and can linger, it won’t always have a noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, so New Harmony homeowners shouldn’t rely on senses alone. The only way to know if your water has trichloroethylene is through proper testing — a first step we recommend for every local household concerned about contaminants.
When TCE is found in a home’s supply, many families in New Harmony prefer a solution that protects every faucet and shower rather than just a single point of use. Whole-house treatment addresses everyday exposures from bathing, brushing teeth, cooking, and ice-making, which is important because trichloroethylene’s risk comes from repeated exposure rather than an immediate taste or odor problem. If testing shows TCE in your water, a whole-home strategy can give you broader protection across the house.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters the home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically 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. For New Harmony homes, proper sizing and flow design matter because the carbon needs sufficient contact time to work well. This whole-home approach treats water for every tap and shower, so protection isn’t limited to one fixture.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house system should match your household’s water use so the carbon has enough capacity and contact time to remove trichloroethylene. Carbon media does become exhausted, so replacements should follow a schedule based on your usage and ideally confirmed with periodic testing. Many installations also use sediment pretreatment to prevent clogging and channeling of the carbon bed. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to New Harmony homes and your family’s water needs.
