PFAS Water Filters

PFAS-removing filters are designed to eliminate potentially harmful chemicals known as PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) from drinking water. These substances are commonly found in industrial and household products and they can contaminate water supplies, posing health risks. PFAS filters, often made using reverse osmosis technology, work by trapping these chemicals, providing cleaner, safer water.

FAQs About PFAS Removing Water Filters

PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of synthetic chemicals used in various industrial and consumer products, including non-stick cookware, waterproof clothing, and firefighting foams. They are known as “forever chemicals” because they do not break down easily in the environment and can accumulate in water sources, posing potential health risks.

PFAS may have been linked to several health issues, including liver damage, cancer, developmental problems in children, and immune system effects. Because they persist in the environment and the human body, exposure to even low levels over time may be dangerous.

PFAS can enter water supplies through industrial discharge, firefighting foam run-off, or improper waste disposal. In recent times, it’s been discovered that PFAS are extremely common in household items, food, and water. That’s because once in the water, they are difficult to remove without specialised filtration systems.

A PFAS water filter is a type of water filtration system designed to reduce or eliminate PFAS from drinking water. Common types include activated carbon filters and reverse osmosis systems, both of which trap PFAS particles and prevent them from entering your water supply. 

For the most reliable results, Aussie Water Coolers only recommends reverse osmosis for the effective removal of PFAS from water. That’s because it’s substantially more effective than activated carbon.

Activated carbon filters work by adsorbing PFAS molecules onto the surface of the carbon, while reverse osmosis filters use a membrane to block PFAS and other contaminants. Both methods significantly reduce PFAS levels in drinking water but we typically only recommend reverse osmosis systems as they’re significantly more effective than activated carbon.

Yes, these PFAS-removing filters can be installed in either homes or businesses, either as part of whole-house filtration systems or under-sink units. These filters are designed to provide safe drinking water by reducing PFAS contamination at the point of use, regardless of where that is. 

The frequency of filter replacement depends on the type of system and the level of PFAS contamination in your water. Generally, reverse osmosis membranes may last 2 to 3 years. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines. If you’re unsure of the filters available and want to know how often they should be changed, feel free to contact us before making a decision.
