Including filter system and high-performance PFTA filter.
PFTA is a synthetic compound that can enter drinking water when long-lasting industrial chemicals remain in the environment. Lois homeowners may hear about it from a municipal report, local coverage, or lab results from a private well — and because it doesn’t change taste, smell, or appearance, it can go unnoticed without testing. If your water testing shows higher PFTA levels, many homeowners in Lois look for a reliable whole-home solution to lower exposure throughout the house.
When PFTA is present, it can move beyond the kitchen and show up at every faucet, impacting drinking water, cooking, bathing, and laundry in Lois residences. That’s why many families choose a whole-house system: it treats water at the main line so all plumbing fixtures receive the same reduced-contaminant water. A correctly chosen system can also help with other common impurities, improving overall water quality for showers, appliances, and taps across your home.
For PFTA, the single most effective whole-house filter type is a high-quality activated carbon system — often using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media that provides extended contact time. Carbon removes trace organic compounds by adsorption as water passes through the media, so media type, flow rate, and tank sizing are key design considerations. Installed on the main water line, a whole-house carbon filter treats water before it reaches any fixture, offering continuous protection without relying on point-of-use pitchers or under-sink cartridges.
Because adsorption performance relies on contact time, choosing a properly sized carbon tank is important to maintain PFTA reduction at normal household flow rates in Lois homes. Mr. Pure Water specifies whole-house carbon systems to provide consistent treatment to showers, laundry, and drinking taps rather than only at low-flow outlets. Activated carbon media must be replaced on a recommended schedule to preserve effectiveness, and combining filtration with periodic water testing is the best way to verify your system continues to reduce PFTA as intended.
