Understanding PFAS and How to Reduce Them in Your Drinking Water
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), including PFOS and PFOA, are persistent chemicals found in various water sources. These substances are known for their resistance to conventional water treatment methods and potential health risks.
Why PFAS are a Concern:
Persistence: PFAS are often called "forever chemicals" because they do not break down easily in the environment.
Health Impacts: Long-term exposure to certain PFAS has been linked to various health issues, including cancer.
Effective PFAS Filtration: Advanced filtration technologies can significantly reduce PFAS levels in drinking water. Reverse Osmosis (RO) Filter Systems, equipped with both RO membranes and Activated Carbon filters, are among the best methods for this purpose.
Reverse Osmosis Membrane: This component blocks a wide range of contaminants, including many PFAS, by allowing only water molecules to pass through.
Activated Carbon: Especially effective when derived from coconut shells, activated carbon adsorbs various organic compounds, further reducing PFAS concentrations.
Our RO Filter Systems combine these technologies to offer one of the most effective solutions for your drinking water.
