Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when it’s released into the environment and migrates through soils into groundwater. It’s widely used in industrial degreasing and can remain in the subsurface for long periods. Because TCE often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, a Selman homeowner wouldn’t detect it without testing—laboratory analysis is the only reliable way to know whether your water contains trichloroethylene.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your water, many people in Selman prefer a solution that protects the entire house rather than just a single faucet. Treating all outlets matters for routines like showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking, and making ice. Unlike visible problems, TCE is a concern because of possible long-term exposure rather than an obvious aesthetic issue, so a whole-house strategy gives comprehensive control over water quality once you confirm the contaminant is present.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point where water enters a Selman 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 flows through a deep carbon bed. Because removal depends on contact time, the system needs properly sized carbon media and a flow design that allows sufficient residence time. Installed at the main line, this style of filter treats water for every faucet and shower so protection covers the whole home.
A GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should be sized to match your household’s water use in Selman so the carbon has adequate contact time to work. Carbon capacity is finite, so media change intervals should be determined by how much water you use and verified with follow-up testing when possible. Adding sediment prefiltration can help prevent the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your home and water usage.
