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 waterways or source supplies. Also called HFPO-DA, it’s often mentioned with other “forever chemicals” because it persists in the environment. Homeowners in Old Town usually can’t see or taste GenX, so testing is the only reliable way to know if it’s present; when levels are a concern, many families look for ways to reduce exposure at every tap.
Because GenX typically appears at very low concentrations, treating it requires PFAS-capable technology rather than standard taste-and-odor filters. A point-of-use unit at the kitchen sink helps for drinking and cooking, but won’t protect showers, laundry, toothbrushing or ice makers in an Old Town residence. Installing whole-house filtration treats water as it enters your home so everyday uses are covered. The aim is consistent reduction using a system sized and maintained for your household’s demand.
For whole-house removal, the single most effective filter media for GenX and other PFAS is a properly designed granular activated carbon (GAC) system using high-quality carbon with sufficient contact time. GenX (HFPO-DA) can be harder to capture than some long-chain PFAS, so factors like carbon type, bed depth, flow rate, and media exhaustion matter. A GAC tank placed at the main line in your Old Town home treats all incoming water, helping reduce GenX at faucets and showers without adding chemicals.
Activated carbon removes contaminants by adsorption, so performance depends on giving water enough contact time in the carbon bed and changing media on schedule. Higher household water use, fast flow rates, and competing contaminants shorten carbon life, which is why correct sizing and a maintenance plan are important. Mr. Pure Water designs whole-house GAC systems for Old Town plumbing and usage patterns so GenX reduction stays reliable, and periodic testing can confirm results and indicate when service is needed.
