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 make its way into water through industrial uses and from related fluorinated compounds breaking down, and it doesn’t disappear quickly on its own. In Lazy Lake and nearby Broward County communities, people often find out about PFUnA from utility notices, local news, or independent testing — and if it’s a concern, the most useful next step is to look at treatment options that target PFAS specifically.
Because PFUnA is usually present at very low levels, you generally won’t detect it by smell, taste, or sight, which is why testing matters for Lazy Lake homeowners. PFAS like PFUnA behave differently from routine issues such as chlorine flavor, sediment, or the lime scale commonly caused by hard water in South Florida, so a basic faucet cartridge often won’t be sufficient. A whole-house strategy is a practical way to reduce exposure during drinking, cooking, and showering across every tap in your home.
When treating PFUnA for an entire house, high-quality granular activated carbon (GAC) is the most effective single-filter choice for residential systems. Carbon media offers a very large surface area that can adsorb many organic compounds, including various PFAS. For PFUnA specifically, results depend on selecting the right carbon type, allowing enough contact time, and keeping appropriate flow rates — which is why a properly sized whole-house carbon tank is typically more effective than a small, fast-flow cartridge in a Lazy Lake home.
Mr. Pure Water usually installs a whole-house GAC system at the point where water enters Lazy Lake residences so all taps and appliances get treated water. We size systems based on household demand to avoid short contact times that can reduce PFAS capture, and like any adsorption media, the carbon requires scheduled maintenance and eventual replacement as it becomes saturated. If you have recent test results from your home, we’ll use them to recommend the ideal GAC configuration for PFUnA reduction.
