Including filter system and high-performance PFMBA filter.
PFMBA is one member of the PFAS family that can enter drinking water through industrial uses or the breakdown of other fluorinated compounds. It’s persistent in the environment, so even trace amounts can remain in water and aren’t always removed by basic municipal treatment. In Franjo, homeowners won’t necessarily notice any change in taste, smell, or appearance if PFMBA is present, so the only reliable way to know what’s in your plumbing is to have your water tested and get clear results you can act on.
If testing shows elevated PFMBA, many Franjo families want a simple, whole-home solution. Single-tap options like pitchers or under-sink cartridges can offer limited benefits but only protect specific faucets and aren’t always optimized for PFAS-type chemicals. A whole-house system treats water as it enters your home so every faucet, shower and appliance in Franjo receives the same treated water—helpful for people who prefer consistent protection without changing how they use water day to day.
For PFMBA, the most effective single-style whole-house filter is an activated carbon system using high-quality media and extended contact time. Because PFMBA is a short-chain PFAS that can be tougher to capture than longer-chain variants, proper system design matters: a correctly sized carbon tank gives water more dwell time in the media bed, improving reduction compared with small cartridge filters. In a whole-house configuration for Franjo homes, this treatment occurs before water reaches any fixture in the house.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house activated carbon systems sized for your household so the media and flow rate work together to maximize performance. In Franjo we pair filtration recommendations with water testing and a maintenance plan, since PFMBA isn’t detectable by sight or smell. The result is treated, more consistent water at every tap without relying on multiple point-of-use devices.
