💦HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS ABOUT PFAS?🚨

New regulations for PFAS in drinking water...

We are dedicated to keeping you informed about recent developments that affect your water quality and safety. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recently established the first-ever national limits for six types of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as "forever chemicals", in drinking water. This historic move reflects a significant advancement in our fight against these persistent environmental pollutants, which have been linked to several health risks including cancer, heart disease, and reproductive issues.

The new EPA regulations set a maximum of 4 parts per trillion for PFOA and PFOS, the most widely used PFAS compounds, and cap three other PFAS chemicals at 10 parts per trillion. This rule aims to safeguard public health by reducing PFAS to the lowest levels that current technology can detect and treat effectively. Approximately 6% to 10% of U.S. public water systems will need to upgrade their facilities to comply with these stringent new standards, benefiting around 100 million people by preventing thousands of deaths and tens of thousands of serious illnesses.

We stand ready to support these federal efforts with our range of products that effectively remove over 98% of PFAS from your drinking water, ensuring safety and peace of mind. Here are some key points about our solutions:

Best in Class: Our filters are top-rated by the Environmental Working Group for PFAS removal.Advanced Technology: We use activated carbon filtration, recognized as a robust method for trapping PFAS chemicals.Comprehensive Protection: While the EPA's limits currently focus on a handful of PFAS types, our filters are designed to reduce a broader spectrum of PFAS contaminants.

Our commitment positions us not only as a leader in water filtration technology but also as a proactive partner in public health and environmental stewardship.

What are PFAS and why are they bad?

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of synthetic chemicals that pose significant health risks due to their persistence in the environment and accumulation in human bodies. These substances are linked to a range of adverse health outcomes, including various forms of cancer, liver disease, low birth weight, and immune system impairment. The durable chemical structure of PFAS allows them to resist degradation, leading to their nickname "forever chemicals." This persistence increases the likelihood of continuous exposure through contaminated drinking water, making it a public health concern. The non-biodegradability of PFAS compounds contributes to their ability to accumulate in the environment and in biological organisms over time, necessitating stringent measures to limit their presence in drinking water and reduce public exposure.

Filtering PFAS from drinking water is critical to safeguard public health and comply with regulatory standards aimed at minimizing exposure to these harmful chemicals. Advanced water treatment processes are necessary to reduce PFAS to levels deemed safe by environmental and health authorities. The implementation of strict drinking water limits for PFAS, as seen in the recent regulations by the Biden administration, underscores the importance of mitigating these risks. Water filtration systems equipped to remove PFAS are essential in preventing the long-term health effects associated with these compounds. As research continues to reveal the extensive health implications of PFAS exposure, the necessity for effective water treatment solutions becomes increasingly apparent, highlighting the imperative to filter these contaminants from water supplies to protect public health and ensure water safety.
