Including filter system and high-performance PFBA filter.
PFBA is one of the PFAS you might find in household water, and many Century Village homeowners first hear about it through a water test, a utility notice, or local conversations about water quality. Because PFBA is persistent in the environment and can be hard to manage once present, families often prefer a whole-home approach that reduces it at every faucet. Taking action early helps you feel more confident about the water you use for drinking, cooking, and bathing in Palm Beach County’s humid subtropical climate.
PFBA may be present even when your water looks clear and tastes normal, and it can occur alongside other PFAS — a reason many Century Village residents choose treatments that address a broader group of these compounds rather than a simple taste-and-odor cartridge. The best first move is a current water analysis so you know what’s in your supply. From that point, we size a whole-house system to your home and usage patterns so everyone in your household is covered.
To reduce PFBA as water enters your 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 moves through the carbon media. When properly sized, a GAC tank gives the contact time needed to treat water at every sink, shower, and appliance — which is helpful in hard water areas like Palm Beach County where limescale can be an issue.
Because PFBA can be more difficult to remove than some larger PFAS, actual performance comes down to carbon quality, bed depth, and flow rate — not just adding a small inline cartridge. Mr. Pure Water designs whole-house GAC systems for Century Village homes to match household demand and maintain effective contact time through the media. Regular media replacement keeps the carbon from becoming exhausted; if your testing shows multiple PFAS, we’ll help select a configuration that emphasizes PFBA reduction while supporting broader PFAS goals.
