Is PFAS in Your Tap Water?

Culligan of Tampa’s Whole-Home & RO is tested & certified to NSF/ANSI 53 to reduce Total PFAS, all 7 compounds in the standard, in Tampa Bay’s water.

What is PFAS?

PFAS are essentially undetectable to human senses. No color, no smell, no taste — nothing that changes on the day they show up, and nothing that changes on the day they don’t. Your water looks exactly the same either way.

That’s not a small group of chemicals, either. “PFAS” refers to a family of nearly 15,000 compounds.

And they’re widespread: USGS research found at least 45% of American tap water contains one or more types of PFAS.

Because Fridge, Pitcher, & Faucet Filters Are Not Enough for PFAS...

And the Usual Fixes Don’t Settle It:

  • Boiling. It works for certain germs and toxins, but not for these. PFAS resist heat by design, that’s what they were built to do. Boiling doesn’t remove them, and as water evaporates they can actually become more concentrated. You can end up working against yourself.
  • Bottled water. Studies have found PFAS in bottled water too. Many bottlers draw from the same surface and groundwater sources as the public system.
  • The pitcher in your fridge. Most pitcher, refrigerator, and faucet filters aren’t certified for PFAS reduction. Many use lower-grade carbon media designed for taste and odor, not for forever chemicals. If yours isn’t certified for PFAS, you don’t know whether it’s doing anything about them.
  • A water softener. Softeners are built to reduce hardness minerals. They aren’t effective against PFAS or other chemical contaminants. A softener is the right tool for a different job.

Received a call today from Jessica about setting up an appointment for me to get some service done on my system. She was very nice very polite very professional took care of all my knees with no problem. Set me up for a good quick timely schedule of an appointment and it’s just a great individual more employees like her should be hired at all businesses, a true professional and outgoing person
Jessica was super helpful in changing my service last minute because of a scheduling conflict!!
Lacy is an excellent rep! We appreciate her support.
I am not happy at all with Culligan customer service. Culligan is not about the customer at all. Explain to me, how do you have a customer sit around all day waiting on an in home service? I am being told that the service person makes their schedule the day of. So, I have to miss a whole day of work, because you cannot simply think outside the box and make your schedule a day or two before. Just an excuse. Culligan doesn't care at all. I will never recommend Culligan water to anyone. So stop sending me text messages on referring people. I am trying to update this review: I will add that a gentleman (Brian) did reach out to me he apologized and went above and beyond to assist me and resolve the issues and concerns I had. I am currently with Culligan and I have no complaints. Thank you for assisting me and going out of your way to accommodate me being a customer.
Lacy did a very good job!!!! Thanks.
Taylor has a very pleasant telephone voice, is friendly and efficient.

Great customer service and a great product.
Bakari came to service the water softener today , as we have had continued issues after its installation . He is thoughtful , extreamly detailed and thorough. I appreciate his insight and care with everything he handled today! He definitely needs commendations for the way he approaches problems and figures out what could be wrong
Jessica exceeded my expectations and she answered my questions and assisted me with my decision making for my renewal process.
Thanks for great customer service support

What "Total PFAS" actually covers

NSF/ANSI Standard 53 tests systems against seven PFAS compounds: PFBS, PFDA, PFHpA, PFHxS, PFNA, PFOA and PFOS. An independent lab challenges the system with a known concentration, measures what comes through, and the manufacturer is retested on an ongoing basis to keep the listing.

Not all reverse osmosis systems are certified for PFAS. Look for certification to NSF/ANSI 53 for Total PFAS reduction from NSF International, the Water Quality Association, or IAPMO.
