Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industry that can migrate from the environment into groundwater and your drinking water. It’s often linked to degreasing and other manufacturing uses and can remain in water for long periods. Because TCE usually has little or no taste or smell at low concentrations, it can be present without obvious signs—testing is the only reliable way for Quintette homeowners to know whether their water contains trichloroethylene.
When trichloroethylene is detected, many families in Quintette prefer a solution that protects every tap rather than treating only the kitchen sink. Whole-house treatment covers showers, baths, teeth brushing, cooking and ice makers—important because TCE concerns are about cumulative exposure over time, not just appearance or odor. Once you’ve had your water tested, a whole-house approach gives you consistent protection throughout your home.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters a Quintette property, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep bed of carbon. Because removal depends on contact time, the carbon media must be properly sized and the system designed for appropriate flow to achieve meaningful reduction. A whole-house GAC system treats water for every faucet and shower so protection isn’t limited to a single fixture.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house filter for Quintette homes should match your household’s water use so the carbon has enough time to adsorb contaminants. Carbon capacity is finite, so media replacement schedules should be based on how much water you use and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. Many installations add simple pretreatment, like sediment filtration, to prevent the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If trichloroethylene is a concern for your home, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your water and lifestyle.
