Including filter system and high-performance PFPeS filter.
PFPeS is part of the PFAS family often called “forever chemicals” because they persist in the environment. You won’t necessarily detect PFPeS by taste, odor, or appearance—many PFAS compounds are present without obvious signs. Sources that can carry PFPeS into drinking water include industrial activity, treated wastewater, or runoff reaching local water supplies. If you’re in Union Park and worried about PFPeS in your household water, the only way to know for sure is to test your water.
Because PFPeS is grouped with other PFAS, it’s commonly evaluated as part of a broader PFAS screen when assessing water quality. Even when water looks clear in neighborhoods around Union Park or near the UCF area, many homeowners choose extra protection for drinking, cooking and bathing. A whole-house system treats water at the point it enters your home so every faucet and shower is covered—helpful in hard-water areas of Orange County where homeowners prefer consistent, treated water throughout the house instead of only at a single sink.
For whole-house reduction of PFPeS, the single most effective filter choice is a high-capacity granular activated carbon (GAC) system formulated for PFAS removal. GAC removes many organic compounds by adsorbing them onto a large carbon surface as water flows through. Its effectiveness depends on the type of carbon used, adequate contact time, and correct sizing to match your home’s flow rate and water use. Installed at the point of entry, a well-sized GAC unit treats water before it reaches fixtures and appliances in Union Park homes.
To keep PFPeS reduction dependable, a GAC filter must be properly sized and serviced on a regular schedule because the carbon media will eventually exhaust. Adding a sediment pre-filter is important in Orange County’s hard groundwater to prevent channeling and preserve carbon performance. Many customers pair a whole-house GAC system with a dedicated drinking-water filter at the kitchen sink for extra peace of mind. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Union Park plumbing and water use to recommend the right whole-house carbon setup so PFPeS treatment stays consistent day after day.
