Including filter system and high-performance PFMBA filter.
PFMBA is a member of the PFAS family that can enter drinking water through industrial uses or the breakdown of other fluorinated compounds. It persists in the environment, so even trace amounts may remain in water supplies and aren’t always removed by standard municipal treatment. PFMBA often has no noticeable taste, odor, or color, so Brickyard homeowners won’t be able to detect it without laboratory testing — the only reliable way to know what’s in your tap water.
If testing shows elevated PFMBA levels, many Brickyard residents prefer a single, simple strategy that protects the whole house. While pitchers and point-of-use faucet filters can reduce some contaminants, they typically cover only one tap and may not target PFAS effectively. A whole-house system treats water as it enters your home, so every faucet, shower and appliance in Brickyard gets the same treated water without changing daily routines.
For reducing PFMBA, the most effective whole-house option is an activated carbon system using high-quality media and extended contact time. Because PFMBA is a short-chain PFAS it can be more challenging to capture than longer-chain compounds, so factors like media type, bed depth and flow rate are important. A correctly sized carbon tank gives Brickyard’s incoming water more residence time in the media than small cartridges, improving removal before water reaches any fixture in your home.
Mr. Pure Water’s whole-house activated carbon filters are selected and sized to match your household’s demand so the media can perform without being overrun. For Brickyard homeowners, we recommend pairing any filtration upgrade with reliable water testing and a maintenance plan so your system continues reducing PFMBA over time. The outcome is consistent, treated water at every tap without relying on multiple point-of-use devices.
