Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in degreasing and some industrial processes that can migrate from soil into groundwater and drinking supplies. Because it can persist in the environment and often has little or no taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Ortona and greater Volusia County may not notice its presence without testing. The only way to know if your water contains trichloroethylene is to have it analyzed by a qualified lab.
When trichloroethylene is detected, many families in Ortona prefer a solution that protects the whole house rather than only a single tap. Treating every faucet and shower matters for daily activities like bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and making ice, and it addresses ongoing exposure risks that aren’t obvious like discoloration or odor. Once you confirm TCE is a concern, a whole-house strategy gives consistent treatment throughout your home.
A whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is the most effective single-filter choice for reducing trichloroethylene at the point of entry. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed; the amount of contact time and properly sized media are key to achieving meaningful reduction. Installed at the main line, a GAC system treats water for every fixture in Ortona homes, helping protect showers, sinks and appliances rather than just the kitchen tap.
To perform well in Ortona’s moderate-hardness waters and humid coastal environment, a GAC whole-house filter should be sized to your household’s flow and daily usage so the carbon has sufficient time to adsorb TCE. Carbon media does become exhausted, so replacement schedules should be set based on consumption and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. Many homeowners also add a sediment prefilter to prevent clogging and channeling of the carbon bed. If TCE is a concern for your home in Ortona or nearby Volusia County neighborhoods, Mr. Pure Water can help design the right whole-house carbon configuration for your water and household needs.
