Including filter system and high-performance PFHxA filter.
PFHxA is one of the PFAS chemicals that can be found at very low concentrations in drinking water. Navy Point homeowners often first hear about it from utility notices, local news, or private testing, and because PFHxA persists in the environment many residents choose to reduce it rather than just monitor it. Installing treatment for the whole house is the best way to limit exposure from showers, laundry, and every faucet—not just the kitchen sink.
You usually can’t taste, smell, or see PFHxA in tap water, so testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s present in your Navy Point supply. When results indicate a concern, treatment commonly relies on adsorption media that captures PFAS compounds as water flows through. It’s important to pick a system sized for your family’s daily water use and flow so the filter maintains effective contact time and performance.
To reduce PFHxA throughout your home, the most effective single whole-house filter is a quality activated carbon system—typically granular activated carbon (GAC) designed with enough contact time. Carbon adsorption is widely used for PFAS removal because the media attracts and retains these compounds while water passes through the tank. A properly sized whole-house GAC unit treats water for showers, laundry, and every faucet without the low-flow restrictions of point-of-use devices, so choosing the right tank and carbon volume for your Navy Point home is essential.
A whole-house GAC filter is placed at the main water entry so PFHxA is addressed before it reaches plumbing fixtures in your Navy Point residence. Media type, bed depth, and service flow rate all affect removal—higher flow can shorten contact time and reduce effectiveness—so regular media replacement is important because a saturated carbon bed won’t continue to capture PFHxA. Mr. Pure Water can help size and install a whole-house carbon system that fits your home and keeps maintenance straightforward.
