Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is an industrial solvent that can enter groundwater when it’s released into the environment and migrates through soil. Because it can linger and often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Peck wouldn’t necessarily detect it without laboratory testing. The only reliable way to know whether your water contains trichloroethylene is to have it analyzed.
If trichloroethylene is found in a Peck home’s water, many families prefer a solution that protects every tap — bathrooms, laundry, outside spigots and the kitchen — rather than treating only a single fixture. That’s especially important for daily activities like showering, bathing, cooking and making ice, where chronic exposure matters more than taste or odor. A whole-house strategy gives broad protection across your home once testing identifies TCE as a concern.
The most effective single-filter choice for reducing trichloroethylene at the point water enters a Peck home is a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) system. 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 carbon media must be properly sized and the system designed for adequate flow so the filter can perform as intended. Installed at the main line, this type of system treats every faucet and shower in the house.
A correctly specified GAC whole-house filter for a Peck residence should match your household’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to capture TCE. Carbon will eventually exhaust, so media replacement schedules should reflect your usage and, when possible, be guided by periodic testing to verify continued performance. In many homes a sediment prefilter is added to protect the carbon from fouling and channeling. If you’re concerned about trichloroethylene, Mr. Pure Water in Peck can help size and configure a whole-house carbon system to fit your water and your family’s needs.
