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 and enter groundwater. Because it can linger in the environment and often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Old Town might not be able to detect it without testing. The only reliable way to know whether your household water contains trichloroethylene is to have it sampled and analyzed.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your water, many Old Town homeowners prefer a solution that treats every tap — not just the kitchen. Whole-house treatment matters for showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and making ice, since TCE is a long-term exposure concern rather than a visible or odorous nuisance. Choosing a whole-home approach lets you address water quality throughout your residence once you know the contaminant is present.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point the water enters an Old Town home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is 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. Because removal depends on contact time, the system needs properly sized carbon media and flow design to achieve meaningful reduction; installed correctly, a GAC system protects every faucet and shower in the house.
A correctly designed GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match your Old Town household’s water use so the carbon provides adequate contact time. Carbon will eventually become exhausted, so replacement schedules should reflect your usage and, when practical, follow-up testing to verify performance. Many installations include sediment pretreatment to prevent the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help size and configure a whole-house carbon system tailored to your home.
