Pioneer PFAS Filtration System FAQ

Your Pioneer PFAS water filter requires routine maintenance to sustain optimal effectiveness. The most common issue homeowners will encounter is an alarm sounding when the system has reached it's programmed totalizer maximum. This typically means that your filter has processed approximately 100,000 gallons of water and needs to be changed. Other common issues include filter leaks, and low water pressure in your home. See below for answers to frequently asked questions about how to address these issues in the short term, before scheduling an appointment to have the unit professionally maintained.

When you hear an alarm from your Pioneer PFAS filter, it means the system has reached its programed totalizer maximum and the filter needs to be changed. This will happen about once a year for water consumption levels in the average household. Stover's carries replacement filters and can assist you in this process.

A leak may be caused by a number of factors and requires professional servicing. In the short term, you may be able to stop a leak by bypassing the filter, until the system can be expertly evaluated. Please note that bypassing the filter means that PFAS will NOT be removed from the water entering your home.

Low water pressure associated with your filtration system may be caused by a clogged pre-filter. Pre-filters are easy to change and can be purchased at many home improvement stores. Be sure not to lose the black o'ring when removing the filter housing, this will cause the unit to leak. If you change the pre-filter and low water pressure continues, you can temporarily bypass the filter to restore water pressure in your home. Please note that bypassing the filter means that PFAS will NOT be removed from the water entering your home.
