Including filter system and high-performance PFHxA filter.
PFHxA is one of the PFAS chemicals that can occur in drinking water at trace levels. Century homeowners often first hear about it through local advisories, news coverage, or private lab testing. Because PFHxA is persistent in the environment, many families choose to lower their household exposure rather than only monitor levels. Installing whole-house filtration treats water coming into your Century property so every faucet, shower and appliance benefits—not just the kitchen tap.
PFHxA doesn’t usually change how water looks, tastes, or smells, so it can be present without obvious signs. That’s why testing your home's water is the reliable way to know what’s there. If test results indicate a concern, treatment commonly relies on adsorption media designed to capture PFAS compounds. When selecting a system for a Century residence, be sure it’s sized for your household’s daily flow and peak water use so performance remains steady across showers, laundry and kitchen needs.
For whole-house PFHxA reduction, the most effective single filter type is a high-quality activated carbon system—usually granular activated carbon (GAC) with enough contact time. Carbon adsorption is a widely used method for removing PFAS because the media attracts and holds these compounds as water moves through the tank. A properly sized whole-house GAC unit treats all water in the home without the low-flow limits of point-of-use devices; the important part is matching tank size and carbon volume to your Century home's demand so removal stays reliable.
A whole-house GAC filter is installed at the main water entry so PFHxA is treated before it reaches your plumbing and fixtures. Media type, bed depth and service flow rate matter because higher flows can shorten contact time and reduce removal efficiency. Regular media replacement is essential—once the carbon is saturated it no longer captures PFHxA well. Mr. Pure Water can help Century homeowners size and install a whole-house carbon system that fits the property and keeps ongoing maintenance straightforward.
