Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial cleaning and degreasing that can migrate into groundwater when released to the environment. Because it can persist in soil and aquifers, it may contaminate drinking water without producing a noticeable taste or odor at low concentrations—so Pelican Lake homeowners wouldn’t necessarily detect it by smell. The only way to know if TCE is present in your water supply is through proper testing.
When TCE is found in a household water supply, many Pelican Lake residents prefer a solution that protects the whole house rather than a single tap. Whole-house treatment matters for showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and ice-making, since exposure can occur through multiple daily activities. Because trichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound where long-term exposure is the concern, a comprehensive house‑wide approach gives broader protection once testing shows it’s an issue.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the main water entry point, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed; contact time and properly sized media are key to performance. A correctly designed GAC system treats every faucet and shower in your Pelican Lake home, delivering whole-house protection rather than treating just one fixture.
A GAC whole-house system should be sized to your household’s water demand so the carbon has sufficient contact time to remove trichloroethylene effectively. Carbon media will eventually saturate, so replacement schedules should be based on your usage and confirmed with follow-up testing when feasible. In many installations, a sediment prefilter is included to prevent premature clogging and channeling of the carbon bed. If you’re in Pelican Lake and concerned about TCE, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon configuration tailored to your water and home.
