Including filter system and high-performance ADONA filter.
ADONA is a manufactured chemical in the broader PFAS family that can appear in drinking water. In Bascom, homeowners usually hear about it from utility notices, local news, or private well testing. Though often discussed alongside other PFAS compounds, ADONA is a distinct substance and may need a specific filtration strategy. If you’re concerned about ADONA in your Bascom home, it’s useful to know where it can originate and how it’s typically treated.
Because ADONA is used in some industrial processes, it can enter water sources through environmental releases and remain for long periods. It won’t alter the taste, smell, or look of your water, so you can’t detect it by senses alone. That’s why testing and targeted treatment matter for Bascom residents. A whole-house system treats every tap in your home, not just the kitchen sink, reducing exposure from showers, laundry and cooking.
The most commonly chosen whole-house filter for PFAS compounds such as ADONA is a high-capacity activated carbon filter. Granular activated carbon (GAC) offers a large internal surface area that adsorbs trace organic chemicals as water passes through. When sized correctly for your Bascom home’s flow rate, a whole-house carbon system treats water used throughout the house and helps lower what you bathe in and prepare food with.
A whole-house carbon filter is usually placed where water enters your Bascom home so it works automatically with no change to daily habits. To keep performance steady, the carbon media needs routine replacement based on usage and contaminant load. If you’re on well water, installing a sediment prefilter before the carbon helps prevent clogging and channeling. Mr. Pure Water can size and install a whole-house activated carbon system to match your plumbing and local water conditions so ADONA reduction is consistent across your home.
