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.

Helped right away with request
Lacy was great! I wanted to know how much things would cost before Culligan came to work on my water softener. She made sure to get back to me in a timely manner. Very nice and professional.
Lacy always answers my questions expeditiously and handles any issues that I might have in a very pleasant way.
This has been a wonderful service. Rubin is our technician and is always professional, answering any questions and addressing any concerns. The call center scheduling for appointments is easy and I more often than not utilize the texting feature.
I had a wonderful experience with Taylor at Culligan. She called me back after I left a message explaining that the water level in our softener was covering the salt and that our salt was getting low. Our last salt delivery was August 14, 2026, and our next delivery wasn’t scheduled until November. Taylor listened carefully to my concerns and was very polite and helpful. I asked if we could move our November salt delivery up to this month and also have the technician check the water level in the softener when they come out. She took care of everything and scheduled us for the next available appointment, which I really appreciated. Thank you so much, Taylor, for listening, being so helpful, and taking care of our appointment so quickly. Keep up the great work! 😊 Paula Ledford, Lakeland
