Including filter system and high-performance PFUnA filter.
PFUnA is one of the PFAS chemicals homeowners hear about when researching persistent contaminants in drinking water. It can make its way into water supplies through industrial uses and the breakdown of other fluorinated substances, and it tends to persist rather than dissipate quickly. Residents in Betts often become aware of PFUnA from utility communications, local news, or private testing; if you’re concerned, focus on treatments designed to reduce PFAS specifically.
Because PFUnA usually exists at very low levels, you won’t detect it by sight, smell, or taste — which is why testing matters for Betts households. PFAS like PFUnA behave differently than familiar water issues such as chlorine, sediment, or hardness, so standard cartridge filters aren’t always sufficient. Taking a whole-house view can help protect drinking, cooking, showering and everyday uses throughout your Betts home.
For whole-house reduction of PFUnA, the most effective single-filter choice for homes is a granular activated carbon (GAC) system. GAC media has a very large surface area that adsorbs many organic compounds, including a range of PFAS. With PFUnA, effectiveness depends on using the right carbon type, allowing enough contact time, and maintaining appropriate flow rates — so a properly sized whole-house carbon tank typically performs better than a small, quick-flow cartridge.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house GAC systems at the point where water enters Betts homes so treated water reaches every tap and appliance. We size systems to match household water use to help avoid short contact time that can reduce PFAS capture, and we emphasize routine maintenance because carbon media becomes loaded and needs scheduled replacement. If you have recent water test results from your Betts property, we’ll use them to recommend the right GAC configuration for PFUnA reduction.
