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.

Brandon & Nick did a great job, and I enjoyed meeting with them while they fix my furnace. I got some good advice and options to consider. I'll be sticking with Aquarius. I've also had their great drinking water and soft water system. Thanks
Response from the owner:Thank you, Tom, for your kind words about Nick; we're glad to hear you had a great experience during your furnace check-up and appreciate your trust in us for the next one.
Geoff O.
The two guys knew their stuff in and out no problem and thorough
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback about our team's outstanding customer service.
Dave H.
We had our Kinetico softener checked over, it's around 20 yrs old and needed a little TLC. John the Technician was great. Friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to.
Response from the owner:Thanks for trusting us with your 20-year-old Kinetico softener! We're glad Jon provided superior customer service. We're a call away if you need anything else.
Robert G
Had Brad as a technician to install our new Carrier 2 stage furnace and 2 stage AC unit, new humidifier and new electronic filter. He and his crew were very pleasant to deal with and informed me of all that would be occurring during the install, even saying come down at anytime that you want to see anything, covering everything and making sure we had our parrot away from the dangerous fumes. Very professional and highly skilled in building the whole new trunk system and looks great! We also ordered the electronic air filter and seems to be working great. They cleaned everything up as one would want their house to be left. Wanted to also thank Katie/Kurt on the inside as well as they helped me all along the way to get things to the price I was looking for.

Thanks again guys and I am happy I choose you again a year later from getting our Kenitco RO system, we are a fan!
Response from the owner:Thank you for choosing Aquarius Home Services! We are happy to hear about your positive experience with the Aquarius Install Team and the good work done by Katie and Kurt. We are grateful to have them on the Aquarius team! If you have questions or need anything else, you can count on us -- our customers are our top priority.
