Including filter system and high-performance 6:2 FTS filter.
6:2 FTS is a type of PFAS that can enter drinking water when products or firefighting foams containing these chemicals reach groundwater or surface sources. Often there’s no change in taste, smell, or clarity, so homeowners only discover it through testing or advisories. Because 6:2 FTS is persistent and can travel in water, many Blocker families prefer reducing it where water first enters the house. A whole-house system treats water used for showering, cooking, laundry and more, protecting every tap.
When you hear concerns about unhealthy levels of 6:2 FTS, the focus is usually lowering total household exposure rather than fixing a visible water problem. Like other PFAS, 6:2 FTS is chemically stable and can be tricky to remove at low concentrations, so treatment choice matters. Not all standard carbon cartridges deliver the same protection. The smart move for Blocker homeowners is to test your water and choose a PFAS-focused whole-house option designed to address these persistent compounds.
For whole-house reduction of 6:2 FTS, a high-capacity activated carbon system formulated for PFAS is usually the single best filter option. Activated carbon removes many organic contaminants by adsorbing them onto its surface, and PFAS-targeted carbon media are selected and sized to increase contact time and effectiveness. Installing a point-of-entry tank where water enters your Blocker home treats every faucet and shower without needing multiple under-sink units, and avoids the hassle of maintaining several small cartridges.
Because PFAS removal depends on contact time and flow, correct sizing is as important as the media itself. A whole-house activated carbon unit should be sized for your household’s water use so water moves slowly enough through the media bed for adsorption to occur. Regular media replacement is necessary since carbon’s capacity is limited as it captures contaminants. Mr. Pure Water can help Blocker homeowners pick and size a PFAS-focused whole-house carbon system that fits your home and filtration goals.
