What's In Your Water: Everything You Need To Know About PFAS

We believe clean water is not a luxury—it's a necessity.

If you're ever curious about what's in your water, check out our "What's In My Water Page".

Here we compile a water report of what is exactly in your ZIp Code and Email to you.

That's why we're on a mission to help families across the country understand what’s really in their water and how to protect their health. One of the most concerning contaminants today? PFAS.

What Are PFAS?

PFAS stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. These are a group of human-made chemicals used in products that resist heat, oil, stains, grease, and water. You’ll find them in non-stick cookware, water-repellent clothing, stain-resistant fabrics, and even food packaging. The problem? They don’t break down. That’s why they’re nicknamed "forever chemicals."

Why Should You Care?

PFAS have been linked to serious health risks, including:

  • Immune system suppression

  • Increased risk of certain cancers

  • Hormonal disruption

  • Developmental issues in infants and children

These chemicals can get into drinking water through industrial discharge, landfill runoff, or firefighting foam. And once they’re in, they’re tough to remove without the right technology.

How Do You Know If PFAS Are In Your Water?

The EPA has recently established health advisories for several types of PFAS at extremely low levels—parts per trillion. Municipal water reports may not list PFAS directly yet, but you can:

  • Request a copy of your local water quality report

  • Use a home water testing service that checks for PFAS

At DrinkingWellCo.com, we can help point you toward reliable testing resources.

How Can You Protect Your Home?

The best defense against PFAS is a proven filtration system. Not all filters can remove PFAS, so you want to look for:

  • Reverse osmosis systems

  • Activated carbon filters certified to reduce PFAS levels

Our curated systems at DrinkingWellCo.com are specifically chosen for their PFAS filtration performance. We believe in transparency, so we publish data and third-party test results where available.

Below is a list of what we sell that removes PFAS:
