Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used historically in industrial degreasing that can migrate through soil into groundwater and end up in household supplies. Because it can persist in the environment and often has little or no taste or smell at low concentrations, Rich Bay homeowners won’t necessarily notice it without testing. The only way to know whether TCE is present in your home’s water is to have the supply tested by a qualified lab.
When TCE is a concern, many Rich Bay residents prefer a solution that treats water at every tap so showers, laundry, cooking, and brushing teeth are all covered. Unlike aesthetic problems, exposure to trichloroethylene is about long-term health risk rather than immediate nuisance, so addressing the whole house gives peace of mind throughout daily use. Once testing identifies TCE, a whole-house system is the straightforward way to protect family members across the home.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters a Rich Bay home, 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 moves through a deep carbon bed; adequate contact time from properly sized carbon media and flow design is essential for meaningful removal. Installed at the main line, this style of system treats every faucet and shower so protection isn’t limited to the kitchen sink.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house system for Rich Bay households should match your family’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to capture trichloroethylene. Carbon will eventually become exhausted, so media replacement schedules should reflect consumption and be guided by follow-up testing when possible. In many homes, a sediment prefilter is added to prevent premature clogging and channeling of the carbon bed. If you’re worried about TCE, Mr. Pure Water can help design a whole-house carbon configuration suited to your home and water usage.
