Including filter system and high-performance 6:2 FTS filter.
6:2 FTS is one of the PFAS chemicals that can reach drinking water when products or firefighting foams enter the environment and migrate into sources. You might not notice changes in taste, smell, or appearance, which is why many Aurora residents only learn about it after testing or advisories. Because 6:2 FTS can persist and travel in water, many local families prefer treating water at the point of entry so showers, cooking, laundry and all taps are covered.
When people in Aurora hear about unhealthy levels of 6:2 FTS, the focus is usually on lowering overall exposure rather than fixing a cosmetic issue. PFAS compounds are persistent and can be harder to remove than more common contaminants, and not all carbon filters perform equally. That’s why knowing your water and choosing a treatment designed for PFAS removal across the entire home is an important first step.
For whole-house reduction of 6:2 FTS, a single high-capacity activated carbon system engineered for PFAS is typically the most effective option. Activated carbon adsorbs many organic compounds, and PFAS-specific carbon media are selected and sized to increase contact time and improve results. Installed at the point where water enters an Aurora home, a properly sized tank treats every faucet and avoids maintaining multiple small under-sink units.
Because PFAS removal depends on flow rate and contact time, correct sizing matters as much as the media itself. A whole-house activated carbon filter should be matched to your household water demand so water moves slowly enough through the carbon bed for adsorption to work. Carbon media must be replaced on a schedule to maintain performance, and Mr. Pure Water can help Aurora homeowners select and size a PFAS-focused whole-house carbon system to meet their filtration goals.
