Including filter system and high-performance PFPeS filter.
PFPeS is one of the PFAS family—often called “forever chemicals” because they persist in the environment. You usually won’t detect PFPeS by taste, smell, or appearance, which is why many homeowners in New Harmony only learn about it through testing. Sources can include industrial uses, treated wastewater, or runoff that reaches drinking-water supplies. If you’re worried about PFPeS in your home, arranging a water test is the best first step to know what’s actually present.
Because PFPeS belongs to the larger PFAS group, it’s evaluated together with related compounds when assessing water safety. Even when New Harmony tap water looks and tastes normal, many families choose an added layer of protection for drinking, cooking, bathing, and everyday use. A whole-house system treats water at the point of entry so every faucet and shower receives the same filtered water—something homeowners often prefer over relying solely on a single under-sink or pitcher filter.
For whole-house reduction of PFPeS, the single most effective filter type is a high-capacity granular activated carbon (GAC) system formulated for PFAS removal. 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 quality, contact time, and correct sizing to match your home’s flow rate and usage. Installed at the point of entry in a New Harmony home, a properly sized GAC unit treats water before it’s distributed throughout the house.
To keep PFPeS reduction dependable, GAC media must be sized and serviced properly because carbon will eventually become exhausted. Including a sediment pre-filter helps prevent channeling and preserves carbon performance. Many homeowners pair a whole-house GAC system with a dedicated drinking-water filter at the kitchen sink for extra assurance. Mr. Pure Water can help New Harmony residents select and size the right whole-house carbon system for their plumbing and daily water needs so treatment remains consistent over time.
