Including filter system and high-performance PFTrDA filter.
PFTrDA is one of the PFAS family of chemicals that can enter drinking water when these persistent compounds move from industrial or consumer sources into the environment. Because PFAS are slow to break down, they can remain in water supplies long after the original release. When testing includes PFAS by compound, PFTrDA may appear on the report, and many Dirego Park homeowners look for practical, whole-home solutions to lower it at the taps they use every day.
PFTrDA won’t change the smell, taste, or clarity of your water, so lab testing is the reliable way to confirm its presence. Even where water meets regulatory requirements, some residents of Dirego Park prefer extra assurance by reducing trace contaminants. A whole-house system treats water used for showering, cooking, laundry and brushing teeth, delivering consistent protection throughout your home rather than just at a single faucet.
For PFTrDA, a single high-capacity activated carbon filter is the most effective whole-house approach we recommend—typically a granular activated carbon (GAC) system. As water flows through the carbon media, PFAS like PFTrDA are adsorbed onto the carbon, and longer-chain compounds such as PFTrDA are generally more readily captured by quality carbon than many shorter-chain alternatives. Proper tank sizing and sufficient contact time at the household flow rates common in Dirego Park are important for the system to perform as expected.
A whole-house carbon filter is installed at the main water entry so every faucet and appliance in your Dirego Park home is treated without needing multiple point-of-use units. To maintain PFTrDA reduction, the carbon media must be replaced on a schedule based on your water use and the filter’s capacity. Installing a sediment pre-filter helps protect the carbon by preventing clogging and channeling, improving long-term performance. Mr. Pure Water can assess your home and recommend a properly sized whole-house activated carbon system tailored to reduce PFAS like PFTrDA across the house.
