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.

Great Communication with appointments and making sure someone is here when we need them
We needed a new water softener after the unit in the home we just closed on malfunctioned and leaked all the resin out of the tank while we were out of town(major mess!). We wanted something that was stress free and proven so we didn’t have to worry about our water softener. Jeff, our sales rep, was great and really explained the process and still is available when I’ve texted him. After the unit was installed, we had some issues with the water softening and the service provided by Jessica and Lacy was outstanding. Texting and calls were very friendly and prompt. They scheduled our service tech Bakari to come out and he was excellent and patiently explained everything to make sure all was working right. Great communication and backs up our reasoning to go with a company that stands behind their product. They are following up again this week with another checkup to make sure all is good with our system. Thank you!
Great service!

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.
