Including filter system and high-performance PFTA filter.
PFTA is a synthetic compound that can turn up in household water when persistent industrial chemicals are present in the environment. In Orlando you might hear about it from a lab report, a utility notice, or local news — and because PFTA doesn’t always change taste, smell, or appearance, it can go unnoticed without testing. If your water testing shows higher PFTA levels, looking into a reliable whole-home reduction strategy is a sensible next step.
Contamination at the source affects every faucet in the house, not just the kitchen, so PFTA can reach water used for drinking, cooking, bathing, and laundry. Many Orlando homeowners choose a whole-house system so treated water is supplied throughout their plumbing — from Downtown condos to houses in Lake Nona — and to address other common impurities alongside PFTA for a more complete improvement in water quality.
The most effective single-filter option for whole-house removal of PFTA is a high-quality activated carbon system, often using catalytic carbon or a dense carbon media engineered for longer contact time. Carbon removes trace organic contaminants by adsorption as water moves through the media, so tank size, media type, and flow rate are key design factors. Installed on the main service line, a whole-house carbon filter delivers treated water to every fixture without relying on point-of-use cartridges or pitchers.
Because adsorption needs sufficient contact time, a correctly sized carbon tank is essential to maintain PFTA reduction during typical household flows. Mr. Pure Water configures whole-house carbon systems with Orlando’s moderate water hardness and seasonal source variability in mind so treatment stays consistent for showers, appliances, and drinking taps. Activated carbon must be replaced on schedule to preserve capacity, and routine water testing helps verify the system continues to reduce PFTA as intended.
