Including filter system and high-performance PFPeS filter.
PFPeS is a member of the PFAS family often called a persistent “forever chemical” because it can linger in the environment. You usually won't detect PFPeS by sight, smell, or taste—many PFAS compounds are present without obvious signs—so testing is the only reliable way to know whether it’s in your drinking water. In Modello, where homes draw from a mix of municipal supplies and private wells, source differences mean testing is especially useful to confirm what's in your specific water.
Because PFPeS is evaluated alongside other PFAS compounds, many Modello homeowners choose an extra layer of treatment for drinking, cooking, and bathing even when water appears clear. A whole-house system treats water at the point it enters your home so every tap, shower, and appliance gets the same protected water—helpful in South Florida’s humid climate where residents want consistent performance across varied water sources rather than relying only on a single faucet filter.
For whole-house reduction of PFPeS, the top single-filter choice is a high-capacity granular activated carbon (GAC) system designed for PFAS removal. GAC removes many organic contaminants by adsorbing them onto an extensive carbon surface as water flows through. Its effectiveness depends on the carbon quality, sufficient contact time, and correct sizing for your home's flow rate and usage—important considerations for Modello homes on different water supplies. Installed at the point of entry, a properly sized GAC unit treats water before it’s distributed through the house.
To maintain PFPeS reduction, replace carbon media on the recommended schedule because the bed eventually becomes exhausted, and use a sediment pre-filter to prevent channeling and preserve performance. Many Modello households pair a whole-house GAC system with a dedicated drinking-water filter at the kitchen sink when they want an extra barrier for beverages and food prep. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Modello plumbing, water source, and usage to select and size the right whole-house carbon filter so PFPeS treatment remains reliable every day.
