Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industrial degreasing and other applications that can migrate through soil into groundwater. Because it can persist in the environment and often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Vilas won’t be able to detect it by smell or sight. The only reliable way to know whether your well or municipal water contains trichloroethylene is through proper testing.
When trichloroethylene appears in a household water supply, many Vilas residents prefer a solution that treats every tap — not just the kitchen sink. Whole-house treatment matters for showering, bathing, cooking, and other daily uses where exposure can occur. Because TCE’s risks come from repeated exposure rather than an obvious cosmetic issue, a homewide filter gives peace of mind across all fixtures once testing identifies a problem.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point where water enters a Vilas home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is generally the most effective single-filter choice. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a substantial carbon bed; adequate contact time and correctly sized media are key to meaningful removal. Installed at the main line, this type of system treats water for every faucet and shower so protection covers the entire house.
A properly designed GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should be sized to match your Vilas household’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time. Carbon has finite capacity, so media replacement intervals should reflect your consumption and, when possible, be verified by follow-up testing. In some installations, prefilters for sediment are added to prevent channeling and extend carbon life. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help Vilas homeowners pick the right whole-house carbon setup for their water and home.
