Oakland County’s Trusted PFAs Water Purification Company
PFAS—also known as forever chemicals—have been making headlines across Michigan, and for good reason. These man-made chemicals stick around in the environment, in our water, and even in our bodies. They’re tough to remove and impossible to detect without proper testing. At Water Purification Specialists, we help Oakland County families protect their drinking water from harmful contaminants like PFAS with proven, long-term solutions.
What is PFAS (Forever Chemicals)?
PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals used in a lot of everyday products—non-stick cookware, stain-resistant carpets, food wrappers, waterproof clothing, and firefighting foam. These chemicals were designed to resist heat, oil, and water, which makes them incredibly tough to break down. That’s why they’re often called “forever chemicals.” Once they’re in the environment or your drinking water, they don’t go away easily—and they can build up in your body over time.
How Does PFAS Enter Water Supplies?
PFAS usually enter water supplies through industrial runoff, landfills, wastewater treatment plants, and areas where firefighting foam has been used heavily. Once these chemicals make it into the ground or surface water, they can spread quickly and contaminate both private wells and municipal water systems.
Health Risks of PFAS
Long-term PFAS exposure has been linked to several serious health issues, including kidney and testicular cancer, liver damage, high cholesterol, and hormone disruption. Studies also suggest PFAS may weaken the immune system, especially in kids.
How to Remove PFAS from Water
PFAS are tough to remove and won’t be caught by your average water filter. The right system makes all the difference. Here are the top options that actually work:
- Reverse Osmosis Systems – These systems push water through a special membrane with extremely tiny pores. PFAS molecules are too large to pass through, so they get filtered out. This method is one of the most effective and can remove up to 99% of PFAS when installed properly.
- Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Filters – Made from natural materials like coconut shells or coal, these filters work like a sponge. PFAS stick to the carbon as water flows through. Longer contact time improves the results, so bigger filters tend to work better.
- Ion Exchange Resins – These systems use synthetic beads that attract and trap PFAS molecules by swapping them out with harmless ions. Often used in combination with other filters, ion exchange works especially well for short-chain PFAS chemicals that are harder to catch.
- PFAS-Specific Filter Systems – These systems are engineered specifically to target PFAS contamination. They often use a combination of the above methods and are customized based on your water’s test results for maximum removal.
