Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, often called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial cleaning and degreasing that can migrate into groundwater when released to the environment. It may persist in water and usually has little or no taste or smell at low concentrations, so TCE can be present without obvious signs. The only way to know if your Tyndall AFB home's water contains trichloroethylene is through proper water testing.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your water, many homeowners near Tyndall AFB prefer a solution that treats every outlet rather than just the kitchen tap. Whole-house treatment addresses exposure during showering, bathing, cooking, and brushing teeth, since TCE is a concern from cumulative exposure rather than a noticeable taste or odor. Choosing a home-wide system gives you control over water quality throughout the house once you know the contaminant profile.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point of entry, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is 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; sufficient contact time from correctly sized media and flow design is key to performance. Installed at the main line, this type of system treats water heading to every faucet and shower in your Tyndall AFB home.
A properly sized GAC whole-house unit should match your household’s water demand so the carbon has enough contact time to capture trichloroethylene. Carbon eventually becomes exhausted, so replacement schedules should reflect usage and be guided by follow-up testing when possible. Many installations use sediment pretreatment to protect the carbon bed from clogging or channeling. If TCE is a concern for your Tyndall AFB residence, Mr. Pure Water can help select the right whole-house carbon configuration for your water profile and family’s needs.
