Including filter system and high-performance PFTA filter.
PFTA is a synthetic chemical that can persist in the environment and show up in household water supplies. City Point homeowners often first hear about it from a lab test, a utility report, or local coverage — and because PFTA doesn’t change taste, smell, or appearance, testing is the only reliable way to detect it. If your water results indicate PFTA is present, it makes sense to explore dependable treatment options for your whole house.
Contaminants like PFTA move through a home’s plumbing, so treatment at the point where water enters your house keeps every tap in City Point safer — from drinking water to showers and laundry. Many families on our humid subtropical coast prefer a whole-house system because it treats water before it reaches fixtures and appliances, which also helps manage issues tied to hard, mineral-rich groundwater common in our area.
For PFTA, the most effective single-filter choice for a whole-house setup is a high-quality activated carbon system — often catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media engineered for longer contact time. Carbon removes trace organic compounds by adsorption as water flows through the media, so factors like media type, flow rate, and tank size are critical. A whole-house carbon filter is installed on the main service line so treated water reaches every fixture, offering continuous protection beyond point-of-use pitchers or under-sink cartridges.
Because PFTA reduction depends on contact time, Mr. Pure Water sizes carbon tanks to deliver steady treatment at normal household flow rates seen in City Point homes. We design systems to protect showers, appliances and drinking taps while also helping address hard-water scale from mineral-rich groundwater. Activated carbon media must be replaced periodically to maintain adsorption capacity, and regular water testing confirms the system is continuing to reduce PFTA as intended.
