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.

Taylor has that old southern charm and respect for people that’s difficult to find nowadays. She listened politely, gave possible solutions and ended the call courteous. I, being a 70 year old southern woman really appreciate this. Ms. Janice
If you’re looking for a whole-home water filtration system, water softener, or reverse osmosis system, look no further than Culligan. I had an absolutely impeccable experience from beginning to end. Courtney came to our house right on time and was incredible. I had about a million questions, and she patiently walked me through every single one. She did a very thorough test of our water and actually showed me just how hard it was, which confirmed what I already suspected from dealing with dry skin, dry hair, and even recurring UTIs with our dogs. The entire process was incredibly informative without ever feeling rushed or pushy. Jeremy handled our installation and was just as fantastic. He showed up right on time, was extremely thorough, worked quickly, explained everything clearly, and left everything looking great. And the difference in our water has been night and day. The water tastes incredibly clean and fresh. I genuinely feel more hydrated drinking it. My skin already feels noticeably softer, and even our dogs seem healthier. Beyond that, there’s just a huge sense of relief knowing the water we’re drinking, cooking with, showering in, and giving to our pets is clean and properly treated. I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From Courtney taking the time to educate us to Jeremy making the installation seamless, Culligan absolutely exceeded my expectations. Worth every penny. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Lacy did a great job answering my questions and scheduling the work on our home. She is knowledgeable and friendly.
Keeps track of service dates so I don’t have to
I called Culligan today as my water softener has been leaking from the water spigot and the elbow pipeline. Lacy attended my call and we did a FaceTime call to show her what the problem was. She was very helpful and quick to set up a service call with a technician that is on my area. I’m still waiting for the technician as it just occurred, but she moved quickly to find me a solution. That is great customer service. I will come back to review the technician.
Thank you Jaliee for your friendly customer service!
Jaliee is tremendously responsive and wonderful to work with.
Lacy went out of her way to be helpful. She had great presence. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs great service.
I have been delaying in having a reverse osmosis unit put in my home. I did it! Bryan my salesman and Jermonte who installed the unit, were top notch!! So professional and kind and knowledgeable! I was very impressed with both of them!! I LOVE my water!💧
As always Lacy was a great help rescheduling my appointment. Definitely deserves a 5 star!
Amy addressed my concerns & was able to schedule me an appointment in a reasonable amount of time. I appreciate that. Thank you!
very easy process, very happy with the product, thank you!
We had a wonderful experience with Culligan! Our salesman was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and never made us feel pressured. The entire process was easy and stress-free from start to finish. We’re very happy with our experience and the service we received from Culligan. Great customer service and a company we would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a water system for their home!
When I had the conversation with Jessica, we were able to set up the service that need to be done. She was quite helpful and knowledgeable.
I foolishly chose another company, as opposed to the name I’ve known for years, the Culligan Man. It’s quality equipment behind that name, and excellent service behind that name. My representative was Julio, he came in and got us back on track. The system we had failed in two years, a 25 year warranty means nothing, if you can’t reach anybody, when something goes wrong. My skin was inflamed, if you have any type of skin disorder you understand, it was 7 months of system, that was just dead, not working and we still have to finish paying for it. My water feels amazing now, it didn’t take long, and so does my skin. Thank you Julio our available, knowledgeable and professional Culligan Man.
Culligan of Tampa (Plant City Location) was fantastic to work with. Zack was prompt with coming out for an estimate and was very knowledgeable on the systems and helped us narrow down what was best for our needs. We’ve noticed a difference right away with this new softener system and the overall service and experience with Culligan has been great!
Thank you to all the Service partners at Culligan! Lacy such a pleasure to speak with over the phone. She very reassuring to my concerns and needs. Both Donnie and Henry are quick to help with filter replacements, salt replenishment and making sure interior/exterior systems are working properly. Nothing like good tasting water 💧 for drinking and especially for cooking 🧑🏻‍🍳!!!!
