How is PFAS removed?

According to an article by the Water Quality Association, “Water treatment technologies that have been independently tested to show that they are capable of removing PFAS from drinking water in your home include activated carbon filtration, reverse osmosis (RO), and anion exchange treatment.”

They go on to say, “Product Certification, which goes beyond independent testing of each manufacturer’s product, provides an additional level of assurance to consumers who want protection from PFAS. During the process the Certification Body reviews confidential information on how and where the product is built and labeled and who the suppliers are for each material or component; conducts regular factory audits to ensure the product is not changed without authorization or retesting; reviews product packaging and labeling to ensure that important information is conveyed to consumers; and conducts additional testing to ensure that the products are made with materials that will not leach harmful chemicals into the water and that will not develop leaks due to pressure spikes. Currently product certification is available only for carbon filtration products and reverse osmosis systems because no standard has been written yet for products that remove PFAS using anion exchange technology.”

Shiloh Water Systems offers solutions for removing PFAS, including products certified to NSF/ANSI 53 (filters) or NSF/ANSI 58 (RO systems). These products have been tested to industry standards to verify they remove PFOA and PFOS down to 70 ppt (parts per trillion).
