Including filter system and high-performance PFTrDA filter.
PFTrDA is one of the PFAS family of chemicals that can make its way into drinking water when these persistent compounds move from industrial and consumer uses into the environment. Because PFAS don’t break down easily, they can remain in water supplies long after the original source is gone. While PFAS are often discussed collectively, specific compounds such as PFTrDA may show up on water tests and reports. If PFTrDA appears on your results, many Cox homeowners look for practical, whole-house options to reduce it throughout their properties.
You won’t detect PFTrDA by sight, smell, or taste in your water—laboratory testing that reports PFAS by compound is the reliable way to confirm its presence. Even when municipal testing shows compliance, some residents in Cox prefer an extra layer of protection to lower trace contaminants. Installing treatment that covers the entire home helps ensure water used for showering, cooking, laundry and oral care receives consistent treatment at every tap.
For reducing PFTrDA in a whole-house system, a high-capacity activated carbon filter—commonly granular activated carbon (GAC)—is the most effective single-filter choice. Activated carbon captures many long-chain PFAS by adsorbing them onto the media as water flows through. Because PFTrDA is a longer-chain PFAS, quality carbon media tends to be effective at removing it compared with some shorter-chain alternatives. Proper tank sizing and sufficient contact time are important so the media performs well at normal household flow rates in Cox homes.
A whole-house carbon system is installed at your main water inlet so every faucet and appliance in your Cox residence is treated without relying on multiple point-of-use devices. To maintain PFTrDA reduction, the carbon media must be replaced on a schedule determined by your household water use and the system’s rated capacity. Adding a sediment pre-filter helps protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling, improving longevity and performance. Mr. Pure Water can assess your home and recommend a properly sized whole-house activated carbon system aimed at reducing PFAS like PFTrDA throughout your property.
