Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when it’s released and moves through soil into groundwater. It’s historically used for degreasing and other industrial purposes and can remain in the environment for a long time. Because TCE often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners—especially those on private wells or cisterns around Ochopee and the Everglades edge—may not know it’s present. The only reliable way to know is to have your water tested.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your supply, many Ochopee homeowners choose a treatment that protects the entire house rather than a single tap. Whole-house treatment addresses daily exposures from showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking, and ice-making—important in humid, wet-season conditions common around Collier County. Because TCE is a long-term exposure concern rather than an obvious aesthetic issue, treating water at the point it enters your home gives you consistent protection for every faucet and fixture.
For whole-home reduction of trichloroethylene, a granular activated carbon (GAC) whole-house filter is the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed. Contact time and properly sized media are key, so a system designed for your household flow rates—whether you’re on a private well near Big Cypress or a local supply—will perform best. This style of system treats water for every faucet and shower in the 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 capacity will eventually be exhausted, so media replacement should follow your usage pattern and, where practical, periodic follow-up testing. Homes in Ochopee that rely on wells or cisterns often add sediment pretreatment to protect the carbon bed from tannins, sulfur, and particulates common in the Everglades area. If TCE is a concern, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your water and property.
