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 soil into groundwater. Often associated with degreasing and industrial uses, it can remain in the environment for long periods. Because TCE usually has little or no taste or smell at low concentrations, Skipper homeowners wouldn’t notice it without testing — the only reliable way to know what’s in your water.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in a home supply, many families in Skipper prefer a solution that protects every tap rather than treating a single point. Whole-house treatment covers showers, baths, tooth brushing, cooking and ice makers, addressing exposure that happens during everyday activities. Unlike visible water problems, TCE is a long-term exposure concern, so a whole-home approach gives broader peace of mind once you understand your water profile.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters a Skipper 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 appropriately sized carbon media and flow design to be effective. Installed at the main line, this type of system treats water for every faucet and shower in the house.
A properly sized GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should match your household’s water demand so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon media eventually exhausts, so replacement schedules should be based on your usage and confirmed with periodic testing when possible. Many Skipper homes also benefit from sediment pretreatment to prevent the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If TCE is a concern, Mr. Pure Water can help design a whole-house carbon setup tailored to your home and water conditions.
