Including filter system and high-performance 8:2 FTS filter.
8:2 FTS is one member of the PFAS family—long-lasting, human-made chemicals that can appear in drinking water sources. Audubon homeowners may learn about it from local water reports, news stories, or private testing, but because it doesn’t affect taste, smell, or look, you can’t reliably spot it without lab analysis. If you’re worried about exposure in your Tampa Bay–area home, the sensible next step is to consider treatment that targets PFAS broadly, including 8:2 FTS.
When 8:2 FTS is present in household water, it can be used for cooking, bathing, laundry and dishwashing across the home. Many under-sink or pitcher filters only protect a single faucet, leaving the rest of the house exposed. A whole-house filter treats water as it enters your Audubon property so every tap and appliance sees treated water. That approach also helps guard plumbing and appliances from whatever is in our mineral-rich, often hard Tampa Bay supply while focusing on reducing PFAS like 8:2 FTS.
The most effective single-filter option for whole-house reduction of 8:2 FTS is a PFAS-rated activated carbon system, generally using high-capacity granular activated carbon (GAC). GAC removes many organic contaminants by adsorption and is commonly used to reduce PFAS in water treatment. Because PFAS compounds behave differently, effectiveness depends on having sufficient carbon media and contact time—not a small cartridge. A correctly sized whole-house GAC system is built to handle the flow and needs of an Audubon home rather than relying on point-of-use devices.
A whole-house GAC filter is installed on the main water line so water is treated before it reaches showers, bathrooms and appliances. Its performance is influenced by flow rate, water chemistry and the age of the carbon, so media capacity and timely replacement are important—especially in hard-water areas like Hillsborough County where prefiltration to remove sediment and protect the carbon bed is common. For consistent reduction of PFAS, including 8:2 FTS, choose a system sized and maintained for whole-house flow.
