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 and migrates through soil into groundwater. It’s widely used in various industrial cleaning and degreasing applications and can remain in the environment for long periods. Because TCE often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Wausau can’t rely on their senses to detect it. The only reliable way to know if your water contains trichloroethylene is to have it tested.
When trichloroethylene is a concern, many Wausau residents prefer a solution that protects the whole house rather than just a single faucet. Treating every tap matters for showering, bathing, brushing teeth, cooking and filling ice trays—everyday activities where exposure can occur. Unlike visible water problems, TCE is primarily an exposure risk over time, so a comprehensive, whole-home strategy gives you peace of mind once testing identifies a problem.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point where water enters your Wausau home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is 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, a properly sized carbon media and flow design are essential for good performance. Installed at the main line, this style of system treats water for every faucet and shower in your home.
A correctly designed GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should be sized for your household’s typical water use in Wausau so the carbon has enough contact time to work. Carbon media becomes saturated, so replacement schedules should reflect your water use and, when possible, results from follow-up testing to verify removal. Many homes also benefit from sediment pretreatment to protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help you pick a whole-house carbon configuration tailored to your Wausau water and household needs.
