Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, often called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial degreasing that can migrate into groundwater when released to the environment. It can linger once present, and at low concentrations it usually has no noticeable taste or smell—so Viking homeowners can’t rely on senses alone. The only reliable way to know whether your water contains trichloroethylene is to have it tested.
Many Viking residents prefer a solution that protects every tap, not just under-sink treatment, because everyday activities like showering, bathing, brushing teeth, and cooking involve the whole house. TCE is a contaminant where concern centers on long-term exposure rather than immediate aesthetic issues, so a whole-house strategy makes sense once testing shows it’s a concern in your water.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters a Viking home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is the most effective single-filter option. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep carbon bed; contact time and proper sizing are key for good results. A whole-house GAC system treats every faucet and shower, so the entire home benefits rather than only a single fixture.
A properly designed GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should be sized to match your household’s flow and water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time. In Viking’s hard, humid conditions, prefiltration for sediment can help protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling, and carbon media will need periodic replacement based on usage and follow-up testing. If TCE is your primary concern, Mr. Pure Water can recommend a whole-house carbon setup tailored to Viking homes and their water characteristics.
