Including filter system and high-performance PFHxA filter.
PFHxA is one member of the PFAS family that can appear in drinking water at very low concentrations. Koerber homeowners typically hear about it from utility notices, local reporting, or private lab testing, and because PFHxA is persistent many residents choose to reduce their exposure rather than only watch for changes. Installing whole-house treatment makes sense for households that want protection at every tap — not just in the kitchen.
PFHxA often won’t affect the taste, smell, or look of water, so you can’t rely on senses to know if it’s present; testing is the only reliable way to learn what’s in your supply. When results indicate a concern, treatment usually centers on adsorption media proven to capture PFAS compounds. It’s also important to pick a system sized for your family’s daily flow so the filter can maintain performance during showers, laundry, and other routine use in Koerber homes.
The most effective single filter type for whole-house reduction of PFHxA is a quality activated carbon system, generally using granular activated carbon (GAC) with adequate contact time. Carbon adsorption is widely used for PFAS because the media attracts and holds these compounds as water passes through the bed. A properly sized whole-house GAC unit treats water at every faucet and avoids the low-flow limits of point-of-use devices, so Koerber households get broad protection when tank size and carbon volume are matched to demand.
A whole-house GAC filter is installed at the main water entry so PFHxA is addressed before it reaches your plumbing and fixtures. Media choice, bed depth, and service flow rate are critical — high flow can shorten contact time and reduce removal — and regular media replacement is necessary because a saturated carbon bed won’t continue to capture PFHxA. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Koerber home, size the GAC tank and carbon volume correctly, and install a system that’s straightforward to maintain.
