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.
