Including filter system and high-performance PFHxA filter.
PFHxA is one of the PFAS chemicals that can appear in drinking water at very low concentrations. Bascom homeowners usually hear about it from a utility notice, local news, or results from a private lab test. Because PFHxA persists in the environment, many people in our area prefer to take action rather than only monitor. Installing whole-house filtration protects everyone in the house by treating water at every faucet, not just the kitchen sink.
PFHxA won’t necessarily change how your water tastes, smells, or looks, so it can be present without any obvious signs. That’s why testing is the most reliable way to learn what’s in your Bascom home’s water. When test results indicate a concern, treatment usually focuses on adsorption media that can capture PFAS chemicals. It’s also important to pick a system sized to meet your household’s daily flow and water use so it performs reliably for showers, laundry, and all taps.
For whole-house reduction of PFHxA, the most effective single filter is a high-quality activated carbon system — specifically granular activated carbon (GAC) with adequate contact time. Carbon adsorption is commonly used for PFAS because the media attracts and holds these compounds as water flows through the bed. A properly sized whole-home GAC unit treats water throughout your Bascom house without the low-flow limits of point-of-use devices; matching tank size and carbon volume to your home’s demand keeps performance steady.
A whole-house GAC filter is placed at the main water entry so PFHxA is reduced before water reaches fixtures and appliances. Media type, bed depth, and service flow rate all affect removal — higher flows can shorten contact time and reduce effectiveness. Regular media replacement matters too, because once the carbon is saturated it stops capturing PFHxA well. Mr. Pure Water can help Bascom homeowners size and install a whole-house carbon system that fits the property and keeps maintenance straightforward.
