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 and consumer uses into the environment. Because PFAS don’t break down easily, they can remain in water supplies long after the original release. While PFAS is often discussed as a group, individual chemicals such as PFTrDA may appear on water test panels and reports; if PFTrDA shows up in your household results in Koerber, it’s understandable to look for a whole-home solution to lower it.
PFTrDA won’t change how your water looks, smells, or usually tastes, so lab testing is the reliable way to know whether it’s present. Even when municipal supplies meet regulatory limits, many Koerber homeowners opt to reduce trace contaminants for extra peace of mind. A whole-house system treats water at the point it enters your home so showers, laundry, cooking, and brushing teeth all receive the same treated water.
The most effective single-filter option for whole-house PFTrDA reduction is a high-capacity activated carbon system, commonly using granular activated carbon (GAC). Carbon media adsorbs PFAS as water passes through, and because PFTrDA is considered a longer-chain PFAS, it is often captured more readily by quality carbon than some shorter-chain compounds. Proper tank size and sufficient contact time at typical household flow rates are important to ensure the system performs well in Koerber homes.
A whole-house carbon filter is installed at your main water inlet so every faucet and appliance in a Koerber residence 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 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 assess your household needs and recommend the correctly sized whole-house activated carbon system to target PFTrDA.
