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 to the environment and moves through soil into groundwater. Historically linked to industrial degreasing and similar uses, it can remain in water for long periods. Because TCE often has little or no taste or smell at low concentrations, Orlando homeowners won’t necessarily notice it without testing. The only reliable way to know whether your water contains trichloroethylene is to have it tested.
When trichloroethylene is detected in a household supply, many families in Orange County prefer a solution that protects every tap — not just the kitchen sink. Treating the whole house is important for showers, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking, and ice makers. Unlike visible issues, TCE is a long-term exposure concern rather than a cosmetic problem, so a whole-house strategy gives Orlando residents consistent protection throughout their home once testing identifies the contaminant.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the main line, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is generally the best single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water moves through a deep carbon bed. Because contact time and proper sizing matter, the carbon media and flow design should be selected to match your household’s demands — especially in Central Florida’s moderate-hardness water where seasonal source variability can affect loading. A correctly designed GAC system treats every faucet and shower in the home.
A properly sized GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should match your family’s daily water use so the carbon has adequate time to adsorb contaminants. Carbon media has finite capacity, so replacement schedules should be based on usage and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. In Orlando homes, adding sediment pretreatment can also protect the carbon bed from clogging or channeling, particularly with the region’s occasional heavy rains and biofilm potential. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon configuration suited to your home and water conditions.
