Including filter system and high-performance PFTA filter.
PFTA is a synthetic compound that can enter drinking water when long-lasting industrial chemicals are present in the environment. Brickyard homeowners typically hear about it from a utility report, local news, or private lab testing on a well or municipal line. Because PFTA won’t usually change water’s taste, smell, or look, testing is the only reliable way to detect it. If your results show elevated PFTA, it’s reasonable to consider a whole-home solution to lower exposure across your property.
Contaminants like PFTA don’t stay at a single tap — they flow through the plumbing to every faucet, shower and appliance. That’s why many families in Brickyard choose whole-house treatment so water is conditioned before it reaches sinks, laundry and baths. A correctly designed system can also address other common impurities, improving water quality throughout the home rather than only at a single point-of-use.
For treating PFTA in a whole-house configuration, a high-quality activated carbon filter is the most effective single-filter option, often using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media engineered for extended contact. Carbon removes trace organic contaminants as water passes through the media, so factors like media type, flow rate and tank size are critical. Installed on the main water line to serve every fixture in your Brickyard home, a whole-house carbon system provides continuous protection without relying on pitchers or under-sink cartridges.
Because carbon performance hinges on contact time, choosing a correctly sized carbon tank is essential to maintain PFTA reduction at household flow rates. Mr. Pure Water recommends whole-house carbon systems sized to deliver consistent treatment for showers, appliances and drinking taps in Brickyard homes, not just low-flow points. Activated carbon media must be replaced on schedule to restore adsorption capacity, and periodic water testing helps verify your system continues to reduce PFTA as expected.
