PFAS also known as Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, are harmful chemicals that can compromise your water quality and pose serious health risks. These "forever chemicals" stick around because they don't break down easily, and they can build up in your body over time.
PFAS are notorious for being tough to break down, leading to potential health issues like liver damage, immune system problems, and even an increased risk of cancer. Getting rid of these contaminants is essential to keep your water safe and your health protected.
If you want a solid start to tackling PFAS, a whole house filter is the way to go. It handles PFAS before your water even gets into the house, reducing exposure from drinking, showering, and washing. The FilterWall™ F Series is a top choice here, with a hefty carbon filter that grabs PFAS and other nasties like chlorine. It’s installed after your mains water meter, making sure every drop is filtered. Plus, it comes in nine stylish colours to suit your home.
For an extra layer of protection, consider adding an under sink carbon filter. The Puremix-Z7 is perfect for this, boasting a 1-micron carbon layer that takes PFAS removal up a notch. It’s installed under your kitchen sink and works with any mixer tap, handling the cold water line with ease. With a 60,000-litre capacity and quick-twist technology for easy cartridge swaps every 6-12 months, it’s both effective and user-friendly.
For those who want the gold standard in PFAS removal, combining the FilterWall™ F Series with the RO270 Reverse Osmosis System is unbeatable. Reverse osmosis uses an ultra-fine membrane to filter out up to 96% of impurities, including PFAS, heavy metals, and other contaminants. It purifies water to an impressive 0.0005 microns. Adding a remineralising cartridge helps balance the pH and reintroduces essential minerals.
