Including filter system and high-performance PFUnA filter.
PFUnA is one of the PFAS chemicals homeowners hear about when researching persistent, hard-to-remove contaminants. It can make its way into water supplies through industrial use and the breakdown of related fluorinated substances, and it does not break down quickly. In Cocoa and across Brevard County, people often discover PFUnA after reading a utility notice, seeing local news, or getting a private test of well or municipal water. If you’re concerned, focus on treatment options that are designed specifically to reduce PFAS.
PFUnA usually appears at very low concentrations, so you won’t detect it by sight, smell, or taste — which is why testing matters for Cocoa homes. PFAS like PFUnA behave differently than familiar issues such as chlorine, sediment, or the hard, mineral-rich water common here that causes limescale. Because ordinary cartridge filters and softeners aren’t built to capture many PFAS, a whole-house strategy can be the most practical way to protect drinking, cooking, and shower water throughout your home.
For whole-house reduction of PFUnA, the most effective single-filter residential option is a granular activated carbon (GAC) tank. GAC media offers a large surface area that adsorbs many organic compounds, including certain PFAS, and its effectiveness for PFUnA depends on using the appropriate carbon type, allowing enough contact time, and controlling flow rate. In Cocoa’s hard water conditions, a properly sized carbon tank—rather than a small, quick-flow cartridge—gives better opportunity for PFAS capture.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house GAC systems at the point of entry so treated water reaches every tap and appliance in Cocoa homes, from Cocoa Village bungalows to houses near the riverfront. We size systems based on household use to avoid short contact time that can reduce PFAS removal, and we recommend regular maintenance and media replacement because carbon becomes loaded over time. If you have a recent water test from your well or the municipal supply, bring it to us and we’ll recommend the right GAC configuration for PFUnA reduction.
