How to treat PFOA, PFOS, and PFC in Your Drinking Water

The good news is that Culligan of Tampa can remove those harmful THMs and VOCs from your water supply.

Does your water…

  • Taste “off” or “funny”?
  • Look cloudy or otherwise not crystal-clear?
  • Have an unpleasant odor?

 

Or, have your water bills increased unexpectedly – for no obvious reason?

If so, these are signs that you might have an issue going on in your water that you need to get tested.

PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid or perfluorooctanoate) and PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate) are chemicals that have been used in the United States since the 1940s in the manufacturing of popular consumer goods including Teflon, pesticides, household cleaning products, and other other items.

According to the US EPA:

[PFOA and PFOS] are “extremely persistent in the environment and resistant to typical environmental degradation processes. They are widely distributed across the higher trophic levels and are found in soil, air and groundwater at sites across the United States. The toxicity, mobility and bioaccumulation potential of PFOS and PFOA pose potential adverse effects for the environment and human health.

The EPA has released a Drinking Water Advisory for PFOS which reveals potentially serious issues linking PFOS and PFOA to conditions like cancer, neuroendocrine conditions, cardiovascular problems, reproductive issues, and more.

If you suspect you have PFOA or PFC in your drinking water it’s important that you get your water tested. We can help you navigate that process with the proper state agencies.

If you’ve already determined your water has been contaminated with PFOA, then fill-out the form below so we can review your water test results and explain our customized, laboratory-verified solution for improving your drinking water.

Updated Review on October 8, 2026 My previous review of Culligan of Tampa stated they had exceeded my expectations for the past 13 years. Today, Lacy and Rafael proved the Culligan Platinum Care package is worth every penny. Their expertise and customer service ensures my Culligan system will continue to operate flawlessly by replacing a HE board and a new unit cover. Rafael identified the repairs needed and Lacy coordinated getting everything accomplished. All of this made possible at no extra cost because of the Platinum Care package. Great customer service Lacy and Rafael. Thank you!

I want to give a big thank to Mr.G from Culligan out of Plant City! He did an excellent job fixing my water softener tank. He called me, kept me updated, and took the time to explain everything clearly so I knew exactly what was going on. Great service, great communication, and excellent work all around. I really appreciate you, G! Culligan rocks! 💧💪 Highly recommended!
Lacy helped me with scheduling a tech visit. She made it very easy.
Lacy was prompt and pleasant setting my service appointment!
We recently had the whole home filtration system installed and we couldn’t be happier with the results so far. It’s pretty crazy that I’ve made it this far without knowing what clean water is supposed to feel like. We initially decided to get it installed because we’d heard that it extends the life of appliances and reduces calcification. As first time homebuyers, the investment made sense to hopefully save money on the back end. We did not expect the change to be so drastic though. It’s especially noticeable in the shower — I didn’t realize that my hair and skin could feel this good. If you’re on the fence, get it for the showers alone, everything else is a bonus. Highly recommend this system and this company. Staff is extremely friendly and the install process was very smooth.
Debbie provided exceptional customer service. She was extremely informative and flexible with finding the right that was suitable for my situation. Awesome service!! Thank you.
