Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when it’s released to the environment and migrates through soil into groundwater. It’s frequently used in degreasing and other industrial processes and can remain in the environment for long periods. Because TCE often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Wallace may not detect it without laboratory testing; a water test is the only reliable way to know if TCE is present.
When TCE is suspected in a house’s water, many Wallace residents prefer a solution that treats every faucet and shower rather than just a single point-of-use. Whole-home treatment protects routine activities like bathing, dishwashing, cooking, and teeth brushing, where exposure can occur over time. Unlike visible water problems, TCE is a long-term exposure concern, so installing a whole-house system can give homeowners broader peace of mind once testing identifies the issue.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters a Wallace home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically 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. Because removal depends on contact time, it’s important the carbon media be properly sized and the system designed for appropriate flow to achieve meaningful reduction. A whole-house GAC system treats all taps and showers, so the protection covers the entire household.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match your Wallace household’s water use so the carbon has sufficient contact time to work effectively. Carbon media will eventually be exhausted, so replacement schedules should reflect usage and, when possible, be guided by periodic testing to verify continued performance. Many systems include sediment prefilters to protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. If TCE is a concern for your home, Mr. Pure Water can help select a whole-house carbon setup appropriate for your water and household needs.
