Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when it moves from contaminated soil into groundwater. It’s widely used in degreasing and industrial settings and can remain in the environment for long periods. Because TCE often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, Surf homeowners won’t detect it without testing — the only reliable way to know what’s in your water.
When TCE is a concern, many Surf residents prefer a solution that protects the whole house rather than a single tap. Treating every faucet and shower matters for everyday activities like bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and making ice. Unlike visible water problems, TCE is an exposure risk over time, so taking a whole-home view after testing gives you consistent protection throughout your house.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point where water enters your Surf home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is often the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water passes through a deep carbon bed. For good results the carbon must be properly sized and the system designed for adequate contact time and flow; installed correctly, this type of system treats water used at every fixture in the house.
A properly designed GAC whole-house system for TCE should be sized to your household’s water use in Surf so the carbon has enough contact time to work. Carbon media does become exhausted, so replacement schedules should reflect your usage and be guided by follow-up testing when possible. Many installations include a sediment prefilter to protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. If trichloroethylene is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help recommend a whole-house carbon configuration that suits your Surf home and water needs.
