Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial degreasing that can migrate from soils into groundwater and drinking supplies. It can persist in the environment and often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, so Secotan homeowners won’t necessarily spot it by sensory clues. The only reliable way to know whether your water contains trichloroethylene is to have it tested by a qualified lab.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your water, many Secotan residents prefer a solution that treats every faucet and shower rather than just a single point of use. Treating the whole house addresses exposure during showering, bathing, cooking, tooth brushing and ice-making, since TCE is a long‑term health concern rather than a cosmetic issue you’d notice immediately. A whole‑house system gives broader protection once you know trichloroethylene is present.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the service entrance, a whole‑house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the most effective single‑filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a substantial carbon bed. Because removal depends on contact time, the carbon media must be properly sized and the system engineered for appropriate flow to achieve meaningful reduction. A whole‑house GAC unit treats water for every tap and shower in your Secotan home.
A correctly designed GAC whole‑house filter should match your household’s water demand so the carbon has sufficient contact time to adsorb trichloroethylene. Carbon media eventually becomes exhausted, so replacement schedules should be set based on your usage and verified with follow‑up testing when possible. In many installations, sediment pretreatment is added to protect the carbon bed from fouling and channeling. If TCE is a concern for your Secotan property, Mr. Pure Water can help size and specify a whole‑house carbon configuration that fits your water and family’s needs.
