Including filter system and high-performance PFTrDA filter.
PFTrDA is one of the PFAS group of chemicals that can migrate from industrial and consumer sources into drinking water and persist because they don’t break down easily. While PFAS are often discussed collectively, specific compounds such as PFTrDA may appear on laboratory testing panels. If testing in Century shows PFTrDA, many homeowners look for a practical, whole-home solution to lower it across every faucet and fixture.
PFTrDA won’t make your water look, smell, or taste different, so a certified lab test that reports PFAS by compound is the usual way to find it. Even when water supplies meet regulatory requirements, some Century residents choose added treatment to reduce trace contaminants and gain extra peace of mind. A whole-house filter treats water used for showering, cooking, laundry and oral care, ensuring consistent reduction throughout the home.
The most effective single-filter option for PFTrDA in a whole-house arrangement is a high-capacity activated carbon system, commonly using granular activated carbon (GAC). Carbon removes many longer-chain PFAS by adsorbing the compounds as water flows through the media; PFTrDA is typically more readily captured by quality carbon than shorter-chain PFAS. Proper tank size and sufficient contact time are important so the system performs well at real household flow rates in Century homes.
A whole-house carbon filter is installed at the main water entry so every faucet and appliance in your Century home receives treated water without relying on multiple point-of-use units. To maintain PFTrDA reduction, the carbon media must be replaced on a schedule determined by your water usage and system capacity. Adding a sediment pre-filter helps protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling, improving longevity and performance; Mr. Pure Water can help size and specify a whole-house GAC system tailored for PFAS reduction.
