Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can reach drinking water when released into the environment and migrates through soil into groundwater. It’s widely used historically for degreasing and industrial purposes and can remain in water for long periods. Because TCE often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Scanlon can’t rely on their senses — laboratory testing is the only reliable way to know whether trichloroethylene is present in your water.
If trichloroethylene is discovered in a household supply, many Scanlon residents prefer a solution that protects every outlet in the house rather than a single tap. Treating all water used for showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and making ice ensures exposure is reduced across daily activities. Unlike visible water problems, TCE is a concern because of repeated exposure over time, so a whole-house strategy gives homeowners greater control once testing identifies the issue.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the service entrance, 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 contaminants as water moves through a deep carbon bed. Because removal depends on contact time, the system needs appropriately sized carbon media and flow design to achieve meaningful reduction. Installed at the main line, this style of system treats water for every faucet and shower throughout your Scanlon home.
A properly specified GAC whole-house filter should match your household’s water demand so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work effectively. Carbon media becomes exhausted, so replacement timing should be guided by your usage and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. Many Scanlon homes also benefit from sediment prefiltration to protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. If you’re worried about TCE, Mr. Pure Water can help design a whole-house carbon system tailored to your home’s water needs.
