Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial degreasing that can migrate through soil into groundwater and drinking supplies. Because it often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations and can persist in the environment, homeowners in The Hammocks won’t know it’s present without testing. If you’re concerned about TCE or related compounds, the only way to be sure is to have your water professionally tested.
When TCE is detected, many The Hammocks residents prefer a solution that treats every tap — not just the kitchen — so showers, baths, tooth brushing, cooking and ice makers are included. Unlike hard water scale or cloudiness, exposure to trichloroethylene is a long-term issue rather than a visible nuisance, so a homewide strategy gives more comprehensive protection across daily uses. A whole-house system is the common choice once testing shows TCE is present.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point where water enters a The Hammocks home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically the most effective single-filter option. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing contaminants as water flows through a deep carbon bed; adequate contact time from properly sized media and flow design is key to performance. Installed at the main line, this style of system treats water for every faucet and shower across your Miami-Dade County home.
A GAC whole-house system for TCE should be sized to match your family’s water use in The Hammocks so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work effectively. Carbon media becomes exhausted over time, so replacement schedules should be set by usage and confirmed with follow-up testing when possible. Because Miami-Dade municipal water is typically hard, adding pretreatment such as a sediment or scale-control step can help protect the carbon bed from clogging; Mr. Pure Water can assess your home and recommend the right whole-house carbon configuration for your needs.
