Including filter system and high-performance PFTrDA filter.
PFTrDA is one of the PFAS family of chemicals that can make its way into water supplies after years of industrial and consumer use. Because these compounds are persistent, they can remain in groundwater long after a source is gone. In Seminole County and the wider Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford area, homeowners seeing PFTrDA on a lab report understandably want a straightforward, home-wide solution — especially in a city like Longwood where many properties rely on mineral-rich (hard) groundwater that already challenges plumbing and appliances.
You won’t detect PFTrDA by sight, smell, or taste; lab testing is the way to confirm its presence and see results reported by specific PFAS compounds. Even when utility tests meet required standards, some Longwood residents prefer an extra layer of protection for peace of mind. Installing a whole-house system treats the water used for showering, cooking, laundry and brushing teeth throughout your home, so every tap gets the same treated water whether you live near Reiter Park, the Longwood Historic District, or the Wekiva Springs neighborhoods.
For treating PFTrDA in a whole-house configuration, a high-capacity activated carbon system — most commonly granular activated carbon (GAC) — is the single most effective filter choice. Activated carbon adsorbs PFAS as water flows through the media, and longer-chain compounds like PFTrDA are generally captured more readily by quality carbon than some shorter-chain alternatives. Proper tank sizing and sufficient contact time are important in a hard-water area like Longwood to ensure the system performs at typical household flow rates.
A whole-house carbon filter is placed at the main water entry so it treats every faucet and appliance without needing multiple point-of-use units. To keep PFTrDA reduction reliable, the carbon media must be changed on a schedule driven by your household water use and the system’s rated capacity; adding a sediment pre-filter can also protect the carbon from clogging and channeling. Mr. Pure Water can assess your Longwood home — whether in Sweetwater Oaks, Sanlando Springs, or Country Club Heights — and recommend a properly sized whole-house GAC system tuned for PFAS reduction.
