Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, often called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial degreasing that can migrate from the environment into groundwater and drinking supplies. Because it can persist once present and usually has little or no taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Pine Air may not notice anything different in their water. The only reliable way to know if trichloroethylene is in your plumbing is through proper water testing, especially if your property draws from a private well or you’ve been advised to check your supply.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your household water, many Pine Air residents prefer a solution that protects every tap — not just the kitchen. Treating the whole house covers daily activities like showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and making ice. Because TCE is a contaminant where exposure over time is the main concern rather than an immediate aesthetic issue, a whole-house system can give you consistent protection throughout your home once you know what needs to be addressed.
A whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the single-filter choice for reducing trichloroethylene at the point where water enters a home. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water moves through a deep bed of carbon. In Pine Air’s humid subtropical climate and with typically moderate water hardness, it’s important that the carbon media be properly sized and the system designed for sufficient contact time and flow so the filter can work effectively. A properly installed GAC unit provides treatment for every faucet and shower in the house.
A correctly specified GAC whole-house system should match your household’s water use so the carbon has enough capacity and contact time to capture trichloroethylene. Carbon eventually becomes exhausted, so replacement schedules should be based on your usage and follow-up testing where possible to verify continued performance. Many Pine Air homes also benefit from a sediment prefilter to prevent the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help size and configure a whole-house carbon system that fits your water profile and daily needs.
