Including filter system and high-performance PFHpS filter.
PFHpS is one member of the PFAS family that can persist in drinking water. In Hurlburt Field households, people usually first hear about it from a lab test, utility communications, or broader news about PFAS. Because PFHpS breaks down slowly, many Hurlburt Field homeowners choose to treat water at the entry point to the house rather than relying solely on pitchers or under-sink filters. A whole-house system treats water for every faucet, shower and appliance, giving city and base homes consistent protection.
PFHpS and other PFAS generally don’t change the taste, smell or appearance of water, so clear, normal-looking tap water in Hurlburt Field can still contain them. These compounds come from many industrial and consumer uses and can reach water supplies through varied pathways. If PFHpS is a concern for your household, start with a water test to confirm what’s present so you can choose the right treatment. After testing, a properly sized filtration solution can be selected to address PFAS while meeting your home’s flow and usage needs.
To reduce PFHpS throughout the home, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is commonly the most effective single-filter choice. Quality GAC media adsorbs many PFAS, including longer-chain chemicals like PFHpS, and is suitable for continuous treatment of large volumes of water. When installed on the main water line in a Hurlburt Field residence, a GAC tank treats water before it reaches bathrooms, kitchen fixtures and laundry, cutting exposure from drinking, cooking and everyday use.
Effective PFHpS reduction depends on contact time and the condition of the carbon media, so the right GAC system is sized to your household flow and demand. Proper bed depth and service flow in a whole-house setup help the carbon capture PFAS more reliably, and media replacement on a schedule prevents breakthrough as the carbon becomes exhausted. Mr. Pure Water can help Hurlburt Field homeowners choose and size the correct whole-house carbon filter so PFHpS reduction remains consistent at every tap.
