Including filter system and high-performance PFPeS filter.
PFPeS is one of the PFAS chemicals often called a “forever chemical” because it can persist in the environment. It typically doesn’t change the taste, smell, or appearance of water, so Century homeowners may have no obvious signs when it’s present. Sources can include industrial uses, treated wastewater, or runoff that reaches drinking water supplies. If you’re worried about PFPeS in your Century home, the surest way to know is to have your water tested.
Because PFPeS belongs to the broader PFAS family, it’s usually evaluated together with related compounds when assessing water quality. Even clear, good-tasting water can contain these substances, so many Century residents choose additional protection for drinking, cooking and bathing. A whole-house system treats water at the point it enters your home, delivering consistently filtered water to showers, faucets and appliances instead of relying solely on a single under-sink unit.
For reducing PFPeS throughout the house, the most effective single-filter option is a high-capacity granular activated carbon (GAC) whole-house system formulated to address PFAS. Activated carbon removes many organic contaminants by adsorbing them onto its large surface area as water flows through. How well it works depends on the carbon type, contact time, and proper sizing to match Century household flow rates and water use. Installed at the point of entry, a correctly sized GAC unit treats water before it is distributed around your home.
To maintain reliable PFPeS reduction, the GAC filter must be sized for your plumbing and replaced or recharged on schedule because carbon media becomes exhausted over time. Adding a sediment pre-filter helps prevent channeling and keeps the carbon bed effective. Many households pair a whole-house GAC system with a dedicated drinking-water filter at the kitchen tap for extra peace of mind. Mr. Pure Water in Century can help select and size the right whole-house carbon system so your PFPeS treatment is consistent day after day.
