Including filter system and high-performance PFUnA filter.
PFUnA is one member of the PFAS family homeowners sometimes research when learning about persistent, difficult-to-remove contaminants in drinking water. It can reach sources through industrial uses and the breakdown of related fluorinated compounds, and it doesn’t break down quickly once it’s in the environment. Lake Park residents often hear about PFUnA from a utility notice, local news, or results from a private test; when that happens it makes sense to consider treatment options designed specifically to reduce PFAS.
Because PFUnA is generally present at very low levels, you probably won’t be able to see, taste, or smell it in tap water — which is why testing is the only way to know what’s coming from your faucets in Lake Park. PFAS like PFUnA act differently than common issues such as chlorine taste, sediment, or hard water (Palm Beach County’s municipal supply is commonly hard), so ordinary cartridge filters often won’t address them. For everyday uses — drinking, cooking, and showering — a whole-house approach can give broader protection across the home.
For whole-house reduction of PFUnA, a high-quality granular activated carbon (GAC) tank is generally the most effective single-filter option in residential systems. Carbon media offers a very large surface area that can adsorb many organic contaminants, including several PFAS compounds. With PFUnA, performance comes down to using the right carbon type, allowing sufficient contact time, and maintaining appropriate flow rates — which is why a properly sized whole-house GAC tank matters more than a small, fast-flow cartridge in a Lake Park home.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house GAC systems at the main water entry so treated water reaches every tap and appliance in your Lake Park home, from the kitchen to your water heater where hard water can cause scale. We size the system to your household’s water use to avoid short contact times that reduce PFAS capture, and we schedule media maintenance and replacements so performance stays consistent as the carbon loads. If you have a current water test, bring it to us and we’ll recommend the right GAC configuration for PFUnA reduction.
