Including filter system and high-performance PFHxA filter.
PFHxA is one member of the PFAS family that can be found in drinking water at trace concentrations. Lois homeowners often first hear about it from local advisories, news coverage, or results from a private test. Because PFHxA is persistent, many families choose to reduce their exposure rather than simply track it. Installing whole-house treatment protects every faucet and fixture in your Lois home instead of limiting protection to a single tap.
Unlike contaminants that change taste or smell, PFHxA may be present without any obvious signs, so testing is the only reliable way to know what’s in your supply. If a test indicates a need for treatment, systems that use adsorption media are commonly recommended to remove PFAS compounds. When selecting a solution for a Lois residence, be sure the system can meet your household’s daily flow and usage so treatment remains effective for laundry, showers and all faucets.
For whole-house reduction of PFHxA, the single most effective filter type is a high-quality activated carbon system—usually granular activated carbon (GAC) sized to provide ample contact time. Carbon adsorption is a widely used method for PFAS because the media attracts and retains these compounds as water moves through the bed. In a properly sized whole-house GAC unit, your Lois home gets protection at every tap without the low flow limitations that come with some point-of-use options. The important factor is matching tank size and carbon volume to your household demand so performance stays consistent.
A whole-house GAC filter is placed at the main water entry so PFHxA is treated before it reaches your plumbing and fixtures. Media choice, bed depth, and service flow rate influence contact time—higher flows can shorten contact and reduce removal efficiency. Regular media replacement is essential because a saturated carbon bed will stop capturing PFHxA effectively. Mr. Pure Water can evaluate your Lois property, size the correct GAC tank, and install a whole-house carbon system that fits your home and simplifies ongoing maintenance.
