Including filter system and high-performance 6:2 FTS filter.
6:2 FTS is a member of the PFAS family that can find its way into drinking water when products containing PFAS or firefighting foams affect the environment and reach water supplies. Because it doesn’t always change the taste, smell, or appearance of water, homeowners in Hanson often only become aware of it after testing or receiving a water-quality notice. Since 6:2 FTS can persist and move through distribution systems, many families prefer treating the water at the point of entry so showering, cooking, laundry and every tap are covered by one solution.
When people hear about unhealthy levels of 6:2 FTS, the focus is on lowering overall exposure rather than fixing a surface-level problem like discoloration. As with other PFAS, 6:2 FTS is chemically stable and can be harder to remove than typical contaminants, especially at low concentrations. That’s why treatment selection matters in Hanson, and why not all standard carbon cartridges will perform equally well. The right move is to learn your water profile and choose a whole-home, PFAS-focused option that treats every outlet.
For reducing 6:2 FTS throughout a Hanson household, a single high-capacity activated carbon whole-house system is often the most effective option. Activated carbon removes many organic compounds by adsorption, and PFAS-specific carbon media are selected and sized to maximize contact time and removal performance. Installed at the point where water enters the home, a single tank treats all faucets and fixtures without the complexity of multiple under-sink units and avoids the frequent upkeep of several small filters with limited media.
Because PFAS removal depends on sufficient contact time and controlled flow, correctly sizing the whole-house activated carbon system for your household is as important as choosing the right media. The unit should slow water through the carbon bed enough to support adsorption, and routine media replacement is needed because carbon eventually reaches capacity. Mr. Pure Water can work with Hanson homeowners to size and select a PFAS-focused whole-house carbon system that fits your water use and filtration goals.
