Including filter system and high-performance ADONA filter.
ADONA is a synthetic chemical often grouped with the broader PFAS family and can show up in drinking water. Local homeowners usually hear about it from utility notices, news reports, or private well testing. While it’s discussed alongside other PFAS, ADONA is a distinct compound and may need a specific filtering strategy. If you own a home in Lake Placid or elsewhere in Highlands County and are worried about ADONA, it’s useful to know potential sources and the common approaches for addressing it.
Because ADONA is associated with certain industrial uses, it can enter water supplies through environmental releases and then remain for a long time. It typically won’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of your water, so you can’t detect it by eye or nose. That’s why testing and targeted treatment are important. For Lake Placid homeowners—many of whom deal with hard groundwater common to inland Central Florida—a whole-house system provides protection at every tap, not just the kitchen sink.
The single filter type most commonly chosen to reduce PFAS compounds like ADONA in whole-house systems is a high-capacity activated carbon filter. Granular activated carbon (GAC) has extensive internal surface area that adsorbs many trace organic contaminants as water passes through. Installed and sized correctly for your home’s flow rate, a carbon whole-house system treats water used for bathing, laundry, and cooking so the reduction applies across the house. Proper contact time and adequate filter capacity are key to reliable performance.
A whole-house carbon filter is usually placed where water enters the home so it protects every faucet and appliance without changing daily habits. To maintain consistent ADONA removal, the carbon media should be replaced on schedule based on your household’s use and contaminant load. If your Lake Placid property uses well water, adding a sediment prefilter before the carbon helps prevent clogging and uneven flow through the media—especially important given the hard groundwater in our area. Mr. Pure Water can help select and size a whole-house activated carbon system that fits your plumbing and local water conditions for dependable ADONA reduction.
