Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, also known as TCE, is a manufactured solvent commonly used in industrial degreasing that can migrate through soil into groundwater. It can remain in the environment for long periods and often has little or no taste or smell at levels that may be concerning, so the only reliable way to know if your household water contains trichloroethylene is to have it tested.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your supply, many Okeechobee homeowners prefer a treatment that protects the whole house — not just the kitchen tap. Whole-house treatment matters for showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and filling ice makers. Because TCE is a long-term exposure concern rather than an obvious cosmetic problem, treating water at the point it enters your home gives you consistent protection for every faucet and fixture.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the main water line, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is the single-filter option most often recommended. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed. Effective reduction depends on adequate contact time, so a properly sized carbon media and system flow design are essential. Installed at the entry point, this system treats water for every tap and shower throughout your Okeechobee home.
A correctly specified GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match your household’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon media becomes exhausted, so replacement schedules should be based on your usage and verified with follow-up testing when possible. In Okeechobee, where hard water and warm, humid conditions can contribute to scaling and sediment, adding pretreatment such as sediment filtration helps protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. Mr. Pure Water can help you select the right whole-house carbon setup for your home and water quality needs.
