Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, often called TCE, is a synthetic solvent that can enter drinking water when it’s released and moves through soil into groundwater. Historically used for degreasing and industrial cleaning, TCE can linger in the environment, and at low levels it usually has no noticeable taste or smell—so Westgate homeowners may not detect it without testing. The only way to know if your household water has trichloroethylene is to have it tested professionally.
When trichloroethylene is present in a house’s supply, families typically want treatment that covers every tap in the home—showers, sinks, ice makers and everything in between. That whole-house coverage matters in Westgate, where hard water and seasonal disruptions can affect everyday use; TCE is different from a cosmetic problem because the concern is long-term exposure rather than an obvious smell or taste. Once testing confirms an issue, a whole-house solution gives you control over water quality throughout your property.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the point where water enters your Westgate 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, the carbon media must be properly sized and the system designed for appropriate flow so the filter performs as intended. A whole-house GAC system treats water for every faucet and shower, delivering protection beyond a single fixture.
A correctly sized GAC whole-house filter for trichloroethylene should match your Westgate household’s water usage so the media has sufficient contact time to work. Carbon capacity is finite, so replacing media on a schedule based on your usage—and confirming performance with follow-up testing—is important. In many homes in Palm Beach County, adding sediment pretreatment helps prevent channeling and keeps the carbon bed working longer. If TCE is your concern, Mr. Pure Water can help design a whole-house carbon setup suited to your water profile and home.
