Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, also called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when it moves from contaminated soil into groundwater. Commonly used for degreasing and other industrial jobs, it can linger in the environment and may be present without any noticeable taste or smell. Because low levels are not detectable by senses, the only way Ward homeowners can know if TCE is in their supply is through testing of their water.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your water, many residents prefer a solution that protects every faucet and shower in the house. A whole-home system matters for daily activities like bathing, brushing teeth, cooking, and making ice, since TCE is primarily a concern from repeated exposure rather than a visible problem. For Ward families who want comprehensive coverage, treating the main water entry point is the practical way to manage risk throughout the home.
To reduce trichloroethylene where water enters a Ward home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is frequently the single most effective option. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing contaminants as water passes through a deep carbon bed. Because removal depends on sufficient contact time, the carbon media must be properly sized and the system designed for your household flow to achieve meaningful reduction. Installed at the main line, a GAC whole-house filter treats water for every tap and shower in the house.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should reflect your family’s water use so the media has enough time to work. Carbon has finite capacity, so you’ll need a replacement schedule based on usage and follow-up testing where practical to confirm the system is still performing. In many homes, sediment pretreatment is added to protect the carbon from clogging and channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help Ward homeowners pick a whole-house carbon setup suited to their water and their property.
