Including filter system and high-performance PFHpS filter.
PFHpS is one of the PFAS chemicals that can persist in drinking water and won’t break down easily. Pace homeowners often hear about it through water testing, utility updates, or broader PFAS coverage, and many prefer addressing the issue where water enters the house instead of only using a faucet or pitcher filter. Treating water at the main line gives your whole Pace home — showers, sinks, and appliances — water that’s been filtered before you use it.
PFHpS and other PFAS usually don’t change the look, smell, or taste of water, so clear water in Pace doesn’t guarantee absence of contamination. These compounds come from many sources and can reach local water supplies in indirect ways, which is why testing is the best first step to confirm whether PFHpS is present and at what concentration. Once you know what you’re dealing with, you can choose a filtration system sized to your home’s flow and needs to address PFAS effectively.
To reduce PFHpS throughout a house, a whole-house granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is typically the most effective single-filter choice. Properly sized GAC media adsorbs many PFAS, including longer-chain types like PFHpS, and can handle the continuous volumes of water used in a Pace household. Installed on the main water line, a GAC tank treats water before it reaches kitchen and bathroom fixtures, cutting exposure during cooking, bathing, and laundry.
PFHpS removal with GAC depends on contact time and the condition of the carbon, so the system should be sized for your home’s flow and usage. Adequate bed depth and appropriate service flow let the carbon capture PFAS more effectively, and periodic media replacement prevents breakthrough as the media becomes exhausted. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Pace property and recommend the correct whole-house GAC setup to maintain PFHpS reduction at every tap.
