Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial degreasing that can migrate through soil into groundwater and drinking supplies. Because it can persist in the environment and often has little or no taste or smell at low concentrations, you wouldn’t necessarily notice it without testing. If you live in New Home and are concerned about solvents like trichloroethylene in your water, the only reliable way to know is to have your water sampled and analyzed.
When trichloroethylene is detected in a home’s water, many New Home homeowners prefer a solution that protects every tap rather than treating only the kitchen sink. Whole-house treatment matters for everyday activities such as showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and making ice — situations where long-term exposure can be a concern even when the water looks and smells normal. Selecting a whole-house strategy lets you address TCE exposure throughout the house once testing identifies it.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point where water enters your New Home residence, 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 flows through a substantial carbon bed; proper sizing and flow design are important because contact time influences performance. Installed at the main line, this style of system treats water for every faucet and shower so protection isn’t limited to a single fixture.
A correctly specified GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match your household water use in New Home so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon will eventually reach capacity, so media replacement should be scheduled based on consumption and verified with follow-up testing when possible. Many installations also include sediment pretreatment to prevent clogging and channeling of the carbon bed. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can assess your water and recommend a whole-house carbon setup suited to your home.
