Including filter system and high-performance PFBA filter.
PFBA is one of the PFAS chemicals that can turn up in household water. In Allentown, homeowners typically hear about it after a private test, a utility communication, or when they’re checking what’s in their drinking water. Because PFBA is persistent in the environment and not easy to remove once present, many families in the area choose a solution that treats water for the whole house so every tap is safer for drinking, cooking, and bathing.
PFBA can be in water even when it looks, smells, and tastes normal. It often appears alongside other PFAS, so some Allentown residents opt for treatment that targets a wider group of these compounds instead of relying on a simple taste-and-odor filter. A current water test is the best first step to identify PFBA and any co-occurring contaminants, then a whole-house system can be sized to your home and daily water use.
To reduce PFBA at the main water entry to an Allentown home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is generally the most effective single-filter option. GAC works by adsorbing many organic contaminants, including numerous PFAS, as water flows through the carbon media. When sized correctly, a GAC tank gives the contact time needed to improve reduction and protects every faucet, shower, and appliance while also cutting nuisance compounds that carbon captures.
Because PFBA can be harder to remove than some larger PFAS, effective treatment depends on carbon quality, bed depth, and flow rate—not just installing a cartridge. Mr. Pure Water designs whole-house GAC systems for Allentown households to provide the right contact time for your demand, and we schedule media replacement so the carbon doesn’t become exhausted. If your testing shows multiple PFAS, we’ll help you select a configuration that emphasizes PFBA reduction while addressing broader PFAS goals.
