Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can reach drinking water when it’s released and migrates through soil into groundwater. It’s widely used in industrial degreasing and can remain in the environment for long periods. Because TCE often has little or no taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Ocean Ridge and nearby Palm Beach County may not notice it without testing. The only reliable way to know if your water contains trichloroethylene is a proper water test.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your supply, many Ocean Ridge homeowners prefer a solution that protects every tap — showers, sinks, the ice maker and more. That’s important for everyday activities like bathing, brushing teeth and cooking. Unlike hard-water scale or visible issues, TCE is a long-term exposure concern rather than a cosmetic nuisance, so treating the whole house can give you broader peace of mind across your home.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters an Ocean Ridge house, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically the most effective single-filter option. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed. For good removal, the carbon must be properly sized and the system designed for adequate contact time and flow. Installed at the main line, this type of whole-house system treats water for every faucet and shower in your home.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match your household’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon won’t last forever, so media replacement schedules should consider your usage and, ideally, follow-up testing to verify performance. In Ocean Ridge, where hard water and outdoor heat can affect plumbing, some homes add sediment pretreatment to protect the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If TCE is a concern, Mr. Pure Water can help design a whole-house carbon system suited to your home and local conditions.
