Including filter system and high-performance 8:2 FTS filter.
8:2 FTS is one member of the PFAS family — persistent, human-made compounds that can appear in drinking water. Fidelis homeowners may learn about these chemicals from water reports, local news, or private tests. Because 8:2 FTS won’t change the taste, smell, or look of your water, you can’t rely on senses to detect it. If you’re worried about exposure in your Fidelis property, a sensible next step is choosing 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 cleaning throughout the day. Many under-sink or faucet filters only protect a single point of use, leaving other taps and appliances exposed. A whole-house system in Fidelis treats water as it enters your home so every shower, washing machine and drinking tap receives the same protection. That approach also helps shield plumbing and appliances from contaminants in the incoming supply while addressing PFAS like 8:2 FTS.
For reducing 8:2 FTS, the most effective single-filter choice for a whole-house installation is a PFAS-rated activated carbon system, usually built with high-capacity granular activated carbon (GAC). Activated carbon adsorbs many organic compounds and is commonly used to lower PFAS in water treatment. Because PFAS vary in behavior, it’s important to have sufficient carbon media and contact time rather than relying on a small cartridge. A properly sized whole-house GAC filter is intended to treat all the water in your Fidelis home, not just a single sink.
A whole-house activated carbon filter is mounted on the main water line so water is treated before it reaches showers, faucets and appliances in Fidelis. How well it works depends on flow rate, water chemistry and how long the carbon has been in service, so choosing adequate media capacity and scheduling timely media replacement are important. These systems are often paired with a prefilter to remove sediment that can shorten carbon life by clogging or channeling the bed. For consistent PFAS reduction, including 8:2 FTS, pick a system engineered for whole-house flow and routine maintenance.
