Including filter system and high-performance PFUnA filter.
PFUnA is one of the PFAS people often research when they’re worried about persistent contaminants in their water. It can make its way into sources through industrial uses and the breakdown of related fluorinated chemicals, and it doesn’t break down quickly. Lakemont homeowners usually hear about PFUnA from a utility advisory, local reporting, or private testing; if you’re uneasy about it, the best next step is to look at treatment options designed specifically to reduce PFAS.
Because PFUnA tends to occur at very low concentrations, you probably won’t notice it by sight, smell, or taste in Lakemont tap water. That makes testing the only reliable way to know what’s present. PFAS like PFUnA also behave differently than familiar issues such as chlorine taste, sediment, or the hard, mineral-rich water common in central Florida, so ordinary cartridge filters or softeners may not address it. A whole-house strategy can help reduce exposure from drinking, cooking, showering, and other daily uses throughout your home.
For treating PFUnA across the entire home, a high-quality granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is the most effective single-filter choice for most residential systems. GAC offers a very large surface area that adsorbs many organic contaminants, including several PFAS. Effectiveness against PFUnA depends on using the right carbon type, allowing sufficient contact time, and maintaining proper flow rates—so a correctly sized whole-house carbon tank generally outperforms a small, fast-flow cartridge in Lakemont homes drawing hard groundwater from the Floridan Aquifer.
Mr. Pure Water typically installs a whole-house GAC system at the point where water enters Lakemont homes so treated water is available at every tap and appliance. We size systems to match household water use and to avoid the short contact times that can limit PFAS capture. Like all adsorption systems, carbon media requires scheduled maintenance and replacement as it becomes exhausted. If you have recent test results, bring them in and we’ll design the right GAC configuration for PFUnA reduction in your home.
