Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industry that can migrate from soil into groundwater and end up in household water supplies. Because it’s used for degreasing and similar processes and can persist in the environment, it may be present without a noticeable taste or smell — so Taft homeowners can’t rely on senses alone. The only way to know whether your water contains trichloroethylene is to have it tested.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your water, many Taft residents prefer a solution that protects the entire house rather than only a single faucet. Treating every tap matters for everyday activities like showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and making ice. Unlike hard-water mineral issues common in central Florida that are mainly cosmetic, TCE is a contaminant where reducing lifetime exposure is the focus — and a whole-house plan gives consistent protection throughout your home.
For treating trichloroethylene as water enters a Taft home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is generally the most effective single-filter choice. GAC reduces many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water passes through a deep bed of carbon. Because removal depends on contact time, a properly sized carbon media and flow design are key to achieving meaningful reduction. A whole-house GAC system provides treated water to every faucet and shower rather than just one fixture.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match your household’s typical water use so the carbon has adequate contact time to work. Carbon media will eventually be exhausted, so replacement intervals should be set by household usage and confirmed with follow-up testing when practical. In many central Florida homes, including those in Taft where groundwater is often hard, adding pretreatment like sediment filtration helps 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 conditions.
