Including filter system and high-performance PFOS filter.
PFOS is one of the PFAS chemicals that can persist in the environment and sometimes appears in drinking water. Because it breaks down very slowly, even small releases can remain present in a water system for a long time. Gordon homeowners typically hear about PFOS from water reports, local news, or a private test, and the logical next step is confirming your household’s results and selecting a treatment that targets PFAS specifically.
PFOS doesn’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of water the way chlorine or sediment can, so you can’t rely on your senses to detect it. It’s generally treated as a long-term exposure issue rather than an immediate nuisance, which is why many Gordon residents opt for treatment at the home’s point of entry. Treating water as it enters the house protects drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry throughout your Gordon home.
For whole-house removal of PFOS, the most effective single filter is a high-capacity granular activated carbon (GAC) system formulated for PFAS. GAC removes PFOS by adsorbing it onto the media’s large internal surface area as water flows through. Because PFOS is harder to remove than routine taste-and-odor compounds, the media quality, bed depth, and correct flow rates are important. A properly sized whole-house GAC unit can treat every tap in your Gordon home without relying on several small under-sink filters.
A whole-house GAC filter mounts on the main water line so treated water reaches every fixture in the home; to maintain PFOS reduction, it should be sized for your peak flow and serviced with scheduled media changeouts. At Mr. Pure Water we can recommend a whole-house carbon configuration suited to PFOS removal and matched to your Gordon plumbing and household use, and periodic before-and-after testing provides added assurance the system continues to perform.
