Protect Your Health: How Our Filtration Systems Remove PFAS and Other Forever Chemicals
When it comes to your health, the water you drink plays a vital role. But not all water is as safe as it seems. Harmful substances known as PFAS—often referred to as forever chemicals—can sneak into your water supply, posing serious risks over time. The good news? Our advanced filtration systems are designed to tackle these stubborn contaminants, so you and your family can enjoy safe, clean water. In this article, we’ll explain what PFAS are, the risks they pose, and how our filtration systems can remove them effectively.
What Are PFAS and Why Are They Dangerous?
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of man-made chemicals used in a wide variety of industries since the 1940s. They’re found in products like non-stick cookware, food packaging, stain-resistant fabrics, and firefighting foam. PFAS have earned the nickname “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down naturally in the environment or in the human body. Once these chemicals enter your water supply, they can remain there for years, slowly accumulating in your body over time.
Research has linked long-term PFAS exposure to several serious health problems, including:
- Cancer: PFAS exposure has been associated with an increased risk of kidney and testicular cancers.
- Hormone Disruption: PFAS can interfere with hormonal functions, leading to reproductive and developmental problems.
- Liver Damage: Long-term exposure has been connected to abnormal liver function.
- Weakened Immune System: Studies show that PFAS can reduce the effectiveness of vaccines and weaken immune response.
- High Cholesterol: PFAS exposure has been linked to increased cholesterol levels, raising the risk of heart disease.
With potential risks like these, it’s clear that removing PFAS from your water should be a top priority.
How Do PFAS End Up in Your Water?
PFAS contamination in water supplies often occurs through industrial and agricultural activities. Factories that manufacture PFAS or use them in products release waste into nearby rivers, lakes, and groundwater. Firefighting foam containing PFAS is another major source, especially near airports and military bases, where runoff can seep into local water supplies. Even everyday items that contain PFAS, such as carpets and food wrappers, can leach chemicals into landfills, which then contaminate groundwater.
Municipal water treatment plants aren’t equipped to fully remove PFAS, which means these chemicals can make it to your tap—leaving your drinking water unsafe without additional filtration. That’s where our advanced filtration systems come in.
How Our Filtration Systems Remove PFAS and Forever Chemicals
Our filtration systems are designed to do what traditional water treatment methods can’t: remove PFAS and other stubborn contaminants from your water. We use two highly effective filtration technologies: reverse osmosis and activated carbon filtration. Here’s how they work:
1. Reverse Osmosis (RO) Filtration: The Ultimate Defense
Reverse osmosis is one of the most reliable methods for removing PFAS from water. In an RO system, water is forced through a semi-permeable membrane that traps even the smallest contaminants, including PFAS molecules. The result? Clean, safe water with harmful chemicals left behind.
Our RO systems not only filter out PFAS but also remove other impurities, such as bacteria, pesticides, heavy metals, and chlorine. If you want peace of mind knowing your drinking water is free from forever chemicals and other pollutants, an RO system is the perfect choice.
2. Activated Carbon Filtration: A Natural Way to Trap Contaminants
Activated carbon filters work like a sponge, trapping contaminants as water passes through them. They are especially effective at removing organic chemicals and substances like PFAS, along with improving the taste and odor of your water.
Our activated carbon filters are ideal for homes looking to reduce chemical contaminants without adding anything artificial to the water. They’re perfect for under-sink systems and can even be integrated into whole-house filtration systems, ensuring clean water throughout your entire home.
3. Whole-House Filtration Systems: Complete Protection
For those who want all-around protection, we offer whole-house filtration systems that treat all the water entering your home. Whether you’re drinking from the kitchen tap, taking a shower, or doing laundry, you can rest easy knowing that every drop of water is free from harmful PFAS and other contaminants. Whole-house systems use a combination of carbon and sediment filters to remove pollutants, providing a comprehensive solution for safe water.
