Including filter system and high-performance 6:2 FTS filter.
6:2 FTS is one of the PFAS family members that can reach drinking water when products or firefighting foams enter the environment and migrate into sources. Because it doesn’t usually change taste, smell, or appearance, many Havana homeowners only become aware of it after testing or an advisory. For households in and around Havana, a point-of-entry strategy makes sense because it treats water used for showering, cooking, laundry and all other everyday uses rather than addressing only a single faucet.
When you hear warnings about unhealthy levels of 6:2 FTS, the priority is reducing overall exposure across the home rather than fixing a cosmetic issue. Like other PFAS, 6:2 FTS is persistent and often present at low concentrations, so it can be harder to remove than many routine contaminants. That’s why the specific treatment matters — standard carbon cartridges are not all equal — and why Havana families benefit from choosing a PFAS-focused whole-house option after learning their water profile.
For treating 6:2 FTS throughout a Havana residence, a single high-capacity activated carbon whole-house system is typically the most effective option. These point-of-entry tanks use PFAS-targeted carbon media sized to increase contact time and adsorption, so every tap is treated without the complexity of multiple under-sink units. Installed where water enters the home, a properly specified carbon tank handles showers, sinks, and laundry while reducing the need to maintain several smaller filters.
Because PFAS removal depends on both media and contact time, correct sizing for your Havana household is as important as choosing PFAS-grade carbon. A whole-house activated carbon system should be matched to your family’s demand so water flows slowly enough through the media bed for adsorption to work effectively. Carbon does have a finite capacity, so routine media replacement maintains performance. Mr. Pure Water can help Havana homeowners select and size a PFAS-focused whole-house carbon system to meet their filtration goals.
