Including filter system and high-performance 4:2 FTS filter.
4:2 FTS is one of the PFAS chemicals that can travel through the environment and turn up in drinking water. In Pace many homeowners first hear about it from a utility notice, a private well test, or during a real estate inspection. Because 4:2 FTS is invisible and tasteless, families often choose to limit exposure and feel more confident about the water they use for cooking, drinking, and bathing. The usual first step is selecting treatment built to reduce PFAS—not just a basic sediment or taste filter.
Since 4:2 FTS belongs to the larger PFAS group, reports may mention it alongside other fluorinated compounds even when it’s the specific contaminant of concern. Typical carbon pitchers, water softeners, and sediment cartridges aren’t designed to reliably remove PFAS on their own. For Pace homes, the most dependable strategy is whole-house treatment at the main line so every tap and appliance is covered instead of relying only on a single under-sink filter for peace of mind.
To reduce 4:2 FTS throughout a house, the top whole-home option is a high-capacity granular activated carbon (GAC) system sized and specified for PFAS removal. Activated carbon can adsorb many PFAS chemicals, but it works well only when there’s enough carbon volume and sufficient contact time as water moves through the tank. That’s why a full-size tank-based or backwashing GAC unit is usually preferable to small inline cartridges for meaningful whole-house reduction, and proper sizing helps the media last longer between services.
A whole-house GAC filter is plumbed on the main service line so showers, laundry, sinks, and kitchen water all receive the same treatment—important for homeowners in Pace who want consistent protection at every outlet. These systems are commonly installed with a sediment prefilter to protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling. For PFAS-type compounds like 4:2 FTS, maintaining the system is as critical as the initial install because spent carbon will stop adsorbing effectively; Mr. Pure Water can help size and service the right GAC unit for your Pace home's flow and water conditions.
