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.

I just bought my brand new and very first water softener for my new home in Lakeland. I wasn’t familiar with water softeners because I grew up on the Great Lakes with constant fresh water. My shower smelled like a hot tub with amount of chlorine that it had. Now… No more smell and no more dry skin... My sales guy Zack did an awesome job explaining to me what I needed and where to put my softener. I totally recommend Zack and the guys at Culligan!

Henry, Culligan technician does a great job every time he visits quarterly, checks the system, water quality and operates the system to make sure it is working perfect and fill up with salt as needed. Henry is an excellent in communicating with his customers and advises to calls him if there are any issues with the system before his next visit. Henry is the best technician and hope he stays with Culligan for a long time to continue providing this kind of great service Thank you Henry/Thank you Culligan

Gerald Battey

We had an different brand water softner that needed replaced. Called Culligan the entire experience was no hassle and seemless. During the appointment Doug spelled out exactly what we needed. There was no hassle, no fuss. The new system was put in, took about 30 minutes to replace the old one. We now have soft water and they come out to check the system once every 3 months and replenish the salt, too easy. Highly recommend Doug, was a pleasure working with him and the entire Culligan of Tamp staff.

Anna GR
