Including filter system and high-performance PFTrDA filter.
PFTrDA is one of the PFAS chemicals that can enter drinking water when these persistent compounds move from industrial or consumer sources into the environment. Because PFAS break down slowly, they can remain in water long after an original source is gone. Homeowners in Fidelis who see PFTrDA show up on test results often want a practical, home‑wide solution to lower their exposure, and whole-house treatment is a common option to consider.
You won’t detect PFTrDA by sight, smell, or taste—lab testing that reports PFAS by compound is the reliable way to confirm its presence. Even if local water meets regulatory limits, many Fidelis residents prefer an extra layer of protection for everyday uses like showering, cooking, laundry, and brushing teeth. A whole-house system treats water at the point it enters your home so every tap receives the same treated water.
The most effective single-filter option for whole‑house PFTrDA removal is a high-capacity activated carbon system, usually built with granular activated carbon (GAC). Carbon reduces many longer-chain PFAS by adsorbing them onto the media as water flows through; PFTrDA is considered a longer-chain PFAS and is often more readily captured by quality carbon than some shorter-chain compounds. Proper tank sizing and sufficient contact time are important so the system performs well at typical household flow rates in Fidelis homes.
A whole-house carbon filter is installed at the main water inlet so every faucet and appliance in your Fidelis 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 that reflects your household’s water use and the system’s capacity. Adding a sediment pre-filter helps protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling, improving longevity and performance. Mr. Pure Water can recommend and size a whole-house activated carbon system built to target PFAS like PFTrDA throughout your home.
