Including filter system and high-performance PFTrDA filter.
PFTrDA is one of the PFAS family of chemicals that can migrate from industrial uses and consumer products into water supplies and persist there because they don’t break down easily. While people often hear about PFAS as a group, tests and reports sometimes list individual compounds such as PFTrDA, and homeowners in Pace may see those names on lab results. If PFTrDA appears in testing, it’s understandable to look for a practical, whole-home solution to lower it throughout your house.
PFTrDA won’t change the look, smell, or taste of your water, so lab testing that reports specific PFAS compounds is the reliable way to know if it’s present. Even when water meets regulatory standards, many Pace residents choose to reduce trace contaminants for extra peace of mind. A whole-house system treats water used for showering, cooking, laundry and oral care, making that added protection consistent at every faucet in your home.
The single most effective whole-house filter type for PFTrDA is a high-capacity activated carbon system, commonly using granular activated carbon (GAC). As water flows through the carbon media, PFAS molecules adsorb onto the surface, and longer-chain compounds like PFTrDA are generally captured more readily by quality carbon media than some shorter-chain PFAS. Proper tank size and sufficient contact time at household flow rates are important to ensure the system performs well for a Pace home.
A whole-house carbon filter is fitted at the main water entry so every faucet and appliance in your Pace home receives treated water without needing multiple point-of-use units. To maintain PFTrDA reduction, the carbon media must be replaced on a schedule that matches your household’s water usage and the system’s rated capacity. Adding a sediment pre-filter helps protect the carbon bed from clogging and channeling, improving longevity and performance — and Mr. Pure Water can help select and size the right whole-house activated carbon system for PFAS reduction in your home.
