Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is an industrial solvent that can enter groundwater when released into the environment and move through soil into drinking supplies. Because it often has little or no taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Riomar and the Jacksonville metro area might not notice it without testing. If you’re concerned about contaminants from past industrial use or nearby sites, a laboratory test is the only way to know whether TCE is present in your household water.
Many Riomar residents prefer a fix that protects every tap — not just the sink — since everyday activities like showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and making ice expose the whole family. TCE is different from an obvious nuisance contaminant because the risk comes from longer-term exposure rather than immediate taste or odor. Once testing shows an issue, a whole-house solution gives you control over water quality throughout your Jacksonville-area home.
To reduce trichloroethylene where the water enters your home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is generally 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. Proper sizing and flow design are key because contact time with the carbon affects removal, and a correctly configured system treats water for every faucet and shower in your Riomar house.
A properly sized GAC whole-house filter should match your household’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon media will eventually need replacement, so schedule changes based on usage and confirm performance with follow-up testing when possible. In the Jacksonville area, moderate water hardness and summertime humidity that can encourage biofilm growth mean it's often helpful to include pretreatment like sediment filtration to protect the carbon bed. If trichloroethylene is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to Riomar homes.
