PFAS in Water

Wondering what to do about "Forever Chemicals"?

What Are PFAS?

PFAS stands for Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances.
This represents a large family of man-made chemicals that include: PFOS and PFOA.
These compounds are commonly found in drinking water supplies. PFAS can be present in both private and public wells and have been linked with development of numerous cancers.

PFAS is "forever"

As a man-made chemical with an ultra-long lifespan, it takes a long time for this compound to break apart or decompose—we're talking millions of years! This unfortunately means that PFAS stays in our bodies after we ingest it via water or food.

PFAS can harm our health

According to the EPA, traces of PFAS in your drinking water can lead to health risks, including cancer, liver effects, immune effects, and other serious health issues, especially for infants who are still developing.

Small Amounts are Dangerous

EPA safety limits for PFAS/ PFOA are as small as 4 parts per trillion. Only a lab test can determine presence of PFAS in your water.

PFAS is found in MN & WI

There are many areas in both Minnesota and Wisconsin confirmed to contain PFAs in their drinking water. What's worse, PFAS are known to migrate through groundwater.

FAQs About PFAS

PFAS is a grouping of man-made chemicals, and of its many components, the two most studied are PFOS and PFOA. These chemicals were widely used in the manufacturing of popular household and packaging products in the United States, including furniture fabrics, paper food packaging, carpets, and non-stick cookware (EPA).

Because these chemicals were not properly disposed of in their heyday, they seeped into groundwater, contaminating nearby well water and wildlife.

PFAS not only affects the quality of our drinking water and health, but it also can contaminate fish and other wildlife in our region. The only way to test for PFAS is to request lab testing in your nearby area.

The current nationally recommended level of PFOS and PFOA is 70 parts per trillion (ppt). But in the state of Minnesota, this number is much less:

  • PFOS (15 ppt)
  • PFOA (35 ppt)

Yes! Kinetico was among the first water conditioning brands to have its products certified by the NSF for PFAS removal. And as a certified Kinetico dealer, we can help you install an advanced filtration system in your home that safely removes chemicals like PFAS, as well as other man-made and natural compounds.

Jeremy was top notch. He explained what I should have done and why along with the costs. He also explained the type of value he would install. We did not opt for the top option but picked the one best for us at this time. Jeremy was not pushy and understood why and did an excellent job. I would never have expected the amount of scaling that came out of the hot water heater. Thank you Jeremy.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Stephen, for the fantastic 5-star rating! We appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again.
Jim Stanton did AMAZING we had a mess of a time with our air conditioning and he fixed every problem. I love this company and the service your tech provide. Thank you
My technician Caillou was awesome. Set us right up and serviced our filters water system. Added a new cartridge for minerals. Explained everything was on time and no mess.
Plumber Micah is excellent: assessed X 3 diff problems, spent a bit of time deciding best options, explained each & performed the repairs at lowest cost & most efficient time. Can’t recommend enough.
Mike came out to check out why our old water softener seemed to not be creating soft water. He was prompt, friendly and went through what he would be doing. After he did his analysis work he clearly explained the problem and gave us a couple options. He will be back to rebuild part of the system. First problem we have had with the Kinetico water softener system in the 22 years we have had it.
Joe, our technician, was very knowledgeable and helpful and a pleasure to work with.
