Including filter system and high-performance Trichloroethylene filter.
Trichloroethylene, commonly called TCE, is a synthetic solvent used in industry that can migrate into groundwater when released into the environment. Because it can persist in water and often has no noticeable taste or smell at low concentrations, homeowners in Westlake won’t necessarily detect it without testing. The only reliable way to know whether your household water contains trichloroethylene is to have the water professionally tested.
When trichloroethylene is a concern, many Westlake residents prefer a solution that protects every tap — not just the kitchen. Whole-house treatment covers showers, baths, teeth brushing, cooking and ice makers, addressing the cumulative exposure that makes TCE different from more obvious water issues. Once testing identifies TCE in your supply, a whole-home approach gives you consistent protection across the house.
To reduce trichloroethylene at the main water entry point, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is the single-filter option most often recommended. GAC removes many volatile organic compounds, including TCE, by adsorbing them as water moves through a deep bed of carbon. Effective removal depends on sufficient contact time, so correct media sizing and flow design are important. A properly installed GAC system treats every faucet and shower in your Westlake home.
A GAC whole-house system for trichloroethylene should be sized for your household’s flow and water use so the carbon has time to work. Because municipal water in much of Palm Beach County — including Westlake — is typically hard, many homes also use sediment prefilters to protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. Carbon media eventually needs replacement, so schedules should be based on your usage and verified with follow-up testing; Mr. Pure Water can help Westlake homeowners select the right GAC configuration for their house and water.
