Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, often called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when it moves from contaminated soil into groundwater. Historically used for degreasing and other industrial tasks, it can remain in the environment for long periods. At low concentrations TCE usually has no taste or smell, so Perkins homeowners won’t detect it without testing; a lab test is the reliable way to know if your water contains trichloroethylene.
If trichloroethylene is found in your household water, many Perkins residents prefer a solution that treats every tap rather than only the kitchen faucet. Whole-house treatment matters for showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and ice-making, since TCE is a concern from repeated exposure rather than a noticeable odor or stain. Once testing identifies an issue, a whole-home plan helps you manage water quality throughout your property.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the main water entry point, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is the most effective single-filter choice for many homes. 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, a properly sized carbon media and flow design are essential to achieve meaningful reduction. Installed at the Perkins home’s main line, this system treats water for every faucet and shower rather than only one fixture.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house filter should match your Perkins household’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon media have finite capacity, so replacement schedules should reflect your usage and, ideally, follow-up testing to verify ongoing performance. In many systems, simple pretreatment such as sediment filtration protects the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. If trichloroethylene is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help select a whole-house carbon setup appropriate for your home and water conditions.
