Including filter system and high-performance PFAS filter.
PFAS are a group of man‑made chemicals often called forever chemicals because they persist in the environment. They’ve been used for stain resistance, water repellency and various industrial uses. When PFAS get into water supplies they’re not easily removed by basic filters like pitchers or faucet attachments. Many Old Town homeowners start looking into solutions after seeing testing notices or hearing community concerns and want to understand options beyond simple point-of-use devices.
Because PFAS can be present even when your water looks and tastes normal, some families in Old Town choose an extra layer of protection beyond municipal or private well treatment. A whole-house system treats the water entering your home so showers, laundry, dishwashers and cooking water all come from the same filtered source. That consistency reduces chances of reintroducing contaminants during everyday tasks like rinsing produce or filling ice trays. If you’d like confidence at every faucet, focus on filtration methods known to reduce PFAS.
For whole-house reduction of PFAS, the most effective single option is a properly sized granular activated carbon (GAC) system using high‑quality carbon made for extended contact time. PFAS compounds adsorb onto activated carbon, and slowing the water flow through a carbon tank improves performance. That is why a whole-house GAC tank designed for PFAS is not the same as a small inline cartridge intended only for chlorine taste and odor. Correct sizing for your home’s peak flow is essential to keep meaningful reduction over time.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole‑house activated carbon systems at the main water entry to Old Town homes so every tap—showers, sinks, appliances and outdoor spigots—delivers treated water. Long‑term results depend on the specific PFAS present, your water chemistry and household usage, so choosing the right carbon media and a replacement schedule matters. If PFAS are a concern in your home, we’ll evaluate your needs and recommend a GAC system sized for dependable performance and local conditions.
