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 in drinking water. It can enter sources through industrial uses and the breakdown of related fluorinated compounds, and it tends to persist rather than dissipate quickly. Lauderhill residents may first notice PFUnA after a private test, a news story, or utility communications; if you’re worried, the next step is to consider treatment options specifically aimed at PFAS reduction.
Because PFUnA is usually present at very low levels, you won’t detect it by sight, smell, or taste, which makes testing the only reliable way to know what’s in your tap water. PFAS like PFUnA behave differently than familiar issues such as chlorine taste, sediment, or the hard water common in Broward County, so standard cartridge filters often aren’t enough. For Lauderhill homes — whether in Inverrary, near Central Broward Regional Park, or elsewhere in the city — a whole-house system can help reduce exposure from drinking, cooking, showering and everyday use.
For whole-house reduction of PFUnA, a well-specified granular activated carbon (GAC) filter is the most effective single-filter residential option. Carbon’s large surface area adsorbs many organic compounds, including a range of PFAS, but performance with PFUnA depends on using the right carbon type, providing enough contact time, and controlling flow rates. That’s why a properly sized GAC tank for a Lauderhill household — accounting for hard municipal water and typical family usage — is more effective than a small, fast-flow cartridge.
Mr. Pure Water installs whole-house GAC systems at the main water entry so treated water reaches every tap and appliance throughout Lauderhill homes. Systems are chosen based on household water use to avoid short contact times that reduce PFAS capture; municipal hard water in Broward County can contribute to scale, so sizing and maintenance are important. Like all adsorption media, carbon needs scheduled maintenance and eventual replacement as it becomes loaded — if you have recent water test results, we’ll use them to recommend the right GAC configuration for PFUnA reduction.
