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. Because it can linger in the environment and often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Three Lakes and surrounding Osceola County wouldn’t detect it without a water test. The only reliable way to know if your well or tap water contains trichloroethylene is to have the water professionally tested.
When TCE is a concern, many Three Lakes residents prefer treating the whole house rather than a single fixture so every tap is covered — showers, baths, laundry, cooking and ice makers included. Unlike visible problems like staining or bad taste, trichloroethylene poses a risk through repeated exposure, so addressing it at the point where water enters your Florida home gives you protection across daily uses. A whole-house plan puts control of your water quality back in your hands once testing identifies the issue.
The most effective single whole-house option for lowering trichloroethylene is a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter installed at the main service entry. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed; adequate contact time—achieved with properly sized media and correct flow rates—is key to good performance. For homeowners in Three Lakes, a correctly designed GAC system treats every faucet and shower, so protection isn’t limited to the kitchen sink.
A GAC whole-house system should be sized for your household demand so the carbon has sufficient time to capture contaminants before breakthrough. Carbon has finite capacity, so changing media on a schedule informed by your water usage and follow-up testing is important for continued effectiveness. Many Three Lakes properties draw hard groundwater from the Floridan aquifer, so adding sediment pretreatment can help prevent premature clogging or channeling of the carbon bed. If trichloroethylene is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can recommend the right whole-house carbon configuration for your home and water profile.
