Including filter system and high-performance PFHxS filter.
PFHxS is one of the PFAS chemicals people sometimes call a “forever chemical” because it can linger in the environment. In Brookside you won’t detect PFHxS by smell, taste, or sight—municipal testing or private lab results are how it’s usually found. If you’d like more control over the water coming into your home, a point-of-entry, whole-house treatment is a practical way to manage contaminants before they reach taps and appliances.
Because PFHxS has been used in industrial and consumer products, it can be present in water sources at low levels and isn’t always removed by basic filters. Simple pitcher filters or sediment cartridges may tackle visible particles but aren’t built to reliably reduce dissolved PFAS like PFHxS. Many Brookside homeowners prefer a solution that treats all household water—drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry—so you don’t end up with clean water only at one faucet.
The most commonly recommended single option for PFHxS is a whole-house activated carbon system using high-capacity granular activated carbon (GAC). Activated carbon adsorbs many organic compounds, including some PFAS, and a properly sized GAC tank installed at the main water line gives the contact time needed for PFHxS to bind to the media before water goes to your fixtures. In humid subtropical Florida climates like Brookside, a correctly designed GAC system also helps manage flow without compromising pressure.
Mr. Pure Water designs whole-house carbon systems around flow rate, bed depth, and media volume so Brookside homes get reliable PFHxS reduction without losing water pressure.
