Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industry that can reach drinking water when it’s released and moves through soil into groundwater. It’s widely known from degreasing and similar uses and can remain in the environment for a long time. Because TCE often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, Waukeenah homeowners wouldn’t detect it without testing; a lab test is the only way to know whether your water contains trichloroethylene.
If testing shows trichloroethylene in your household supply, many people in Waukeenah prefer a whole-house solution so every tap is treated—not just the kitchen faucet. That’s important for activities like showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking, and making ice, where exposure can occur throughout the home. Unlike visible or taste-related problems, TCE is a contaminant of concern because of cumulative exposure, and a whole-house approach helps manage that across all plumbing fixtures.
At the point where water enters a Waukeenah home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is generally the most effective single-filter option for reducing trichloroethylene. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water flows through a deep bed of carbon. Because removal depends on contact time and carbon capacity, a correctly sized carbon media and properly designed flow are key to meaningful reduction. Installed as a treatment for the entire house, this system protects every faucet and shower rather than only a single fixture.
A correctly specified GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match your Waukeenah household’s water use so the carbon provides adequate contact time. Carbon media has limited capacity, so replacement intervals should be set by your usage and verified with follow-up testing when possible. Many systems also include sediment pretreatment to keep the carbon bed working well and prevent channeling. If you’re concerned about TCE, Mr. Pure Water can help size and configure a whole-house carbon system that fits your home and water needs.
