Including filter system and high-performance 8:2 FTS filter.
8:2 FTS is one member of the PFAS family—long-lasting, man-made chemicals that can end up in drinking water. Union Park homeowners typically learn about contaminants from utility reports, local news, or private testing, and 8:2 FTS won’t change the taste, smell, or look of water, so you can’t rely on senses alone. If you’re worried about exposure in Orange County or around the UCF area, the practical next step is selecting treatment that targets PFAS broadly, including 8:2 FTS.
When 8:2 FTS is present in a household supply it’s used everywhere—from cooking in your kitchen near University of Central Florida to showers and laundry—so filtering only one faucet can leave gaps. In Union Park and nearby neighborhoods like Azalea Park or Alafaya Woods, a whole-house system treats incoming water at the main line so every tap and appliance is covered. That approach not only aims to reduce PFAS such as 8:2 FTS but also helps protect plumbing and water-using appliances from hard groundwater that’s common in the Orlando/Orange County area.
To reduce 8:2 FTS throughout a home, the most effective single-filter option is a PFAS-rated activated carbon system—usually a high-capacity granular activated carbon (GAC) whole-house unit. GAC removes many organic contaminants by adsorption and is widely used for PFAS reduction. Because members of the PFAS family behave differently, success depends on using sufficient carbon media and allowing proper contact time rather than relying on a small under-sized cartridge.
A whole-house GAC filter is installed at your main water line so treated water reaches showers, baths, and appliances across Union Park before use. System performance varies with flow rate, water chemistry, and how long the media has been in service—factors especially relevant with Orange County’s hard groundwater—so adequate media capacity, prefiltration for sediment, and timely media replacement are important. For consistent reduction of PFAS like 8:2 FTS, pick a system built and sized for whole-house flow and proper maintenance.
