Including filter system and high-performance GenX filter.
GenX is a member of the PFAS family that can enter drinking water when industrial chemicals reach local sources. Often called HFPO-DA, it’s grouped with other persistent “forever chemicals” because it doesn’t break down easily in the environment. Homeowners in Betts usually can’t detect GenX by sight or taste, so testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s present; when levels are a concern, many families look for a solution that reduces exposure from every tap.
Because GenX generally appears at very low concentrations, treatment aimed at PFAS is needed rather than simple taste-and-odor filters. A point-of-use cartridge at the kitchen sink helps for drinking and cooking but leaves showers, laundry and other household uses untreated. In Betts, installing whole-house filtration treats water as it enters your home so every faucet and shower benefits. The objective is steady reduction across daily use with a system sized and serviced for your household’s demand.
For whole-house protection, the most effective single media for GenX (HFPO-DA) is granular activated carbon (GAC) designed with high-quality carbon and adequate contact time. GenX can be harder to remove than some long-chain PFAS, so factors like carbon type, bed depth, and flow rate matter for overall effectiveness. A whole-house GAC tank placed at the main service line treats incoming water so showers and faucets throughout Betts homes see reduced GenX without adding chemicals.
Activated carbon removes contaminants by adsorption, so it’s important the water spends enough time in the carbon bed and that media is replaced on schedule. Heavy household use, high flow rates, and other contaminants can shorten a carbon bed’s life, which is why correct sizing and a maintenance plan are essential. Mr. Pure Water configures whole-house GAC systems for Betts residences to provide dependable GenX reduction day to day, and periodic water testing can confirm performance and help time service.
