Including filter system and high-performance Flame Retardants filter.
Flame retardants are a wide group of chemicals added to furniture foam, fabrics, electronics and building materials to slow fire spread. Over time they can work loose into household dust, wash off surfaces, and in some cases enter waterways. When they appear in drinking water they’re generally considered trace, man-made contaminants, and many Lewis homeowners choose extra protection so every tap—from the kitchen sink to bathroom faucets—delivers cleaner water.
These compounds cover different chemistries, so they don’t always produce a noticeable taste or smell. Some flame retardants cling to particles while others stay dissolved and travel with the water. Whether your Lewis home is on a municipal system or a private well, routine treatment won’t necessarily target every emerging contaminant; taking a whole-house approach can reduce exposure from drinking, cooking, and bathing across your home.
A single-stage, high-capacity activated carbon whole-house filter is generally the most practical option for reducing flame retardants in household water. Many flame retardant compounds are organic, and carbon media adsorbs a broad range of organics as water passes through the tank. Installed at the point of entry in a Lewis home, a properly sized carbon tank gives the contact time needed to treat water for the entire house rather than relying on a small under-sink cartridge.
Mr. Pure Water sizes whole-house activated carbon systems to match household flow and daily use so the media can perform as intended for Lewis homes. Media choice and bed depth matter: more carbon and longer contact improve adsorption. While no single filter removes every possible contaminant, whole-house carbon is a strong first step to lower many trace organic chemicals, including flame retardants—paired with water testing it helps determine the right system and maintenance schedule for your household.
