How do I remove PFAS from my drinking water?

You have probably heard of PFAS chemicals found in water. And you might wonder how to remove PFAS from drinking water.

PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals that have been in use since the 1940s. These harmful chemicals are in a variety of consumer products. Everyday things like cookware, food packaging, and stain and water repellants used in fabrics, carpets and outerwear.

Because of their widespread use and environmental persistence, most people are exposed to PFAS chemicals. There is evidence that exposure to certain PFAS may lead to adverse health effects. The source for this information was the EPA website.

However, the good news is that PFAS can be removed from drinking water with filtration. Here are some steps to know which filter is best for you.

1. Firstly, test the water to see how much PFAS you have. If you are on a private well, it is also good to know what the pH, hardness and iron readings are. As well as any other information you can gather about your water quality. The more you information that you know, the better the result will be.
2. Second, determine what the water source is. This may be a private well. Or some type of municipal public water supply. Or is it spring water, lake water etc?
3. Third, determine if you prefer to filter PFAS from just your drinking water. Or remove the PFAS from the water from the whole house or building?
4. Fourth, contact a knowledgeable PFAS removal expert to determine which is the correct filter.
