about pfas
According to a 2023 survey, a growing number of consumers are aware of PFAS. The survey found in August 2023 that 59% of adults describe their knowledge level as at least ‘somewhat familiar’ with PFAS, up from 54% in March 2023. As consumer awareness regarding water contaminants, especially PFAS, continues to grow, the demand for transparency and safety in the food and beverage industry is at an all-time high. CivicScience. (n.d.). Consumer concern over PFAS 'forever chemicals' continues to grow. CivicScience. https://civicscience.com/consumer-concern-over-pfas-forever-chemicals-continues-to-grow/
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals that have been identified in a variety of consumer products and industrial applications. Due to their widespread use and environmental persistence, PFAS contamination in water sources is a growing concern. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) provides resources and guidelines on understanding and managing PFAS contamination in water supplies, highlighting the importance of addressing these contaminants. ("Basic Information on PFAS," EPA, https://www.epa.gov/pfas/basic-information-pfas).
PFAS & COMMERCIAL FILTRATION
PFAS contaminants in drinking water is a critical concern for a variety of businesses, given their widespread presence and potential impact. Pentair's comprehensive water treatment solutions are designed to address water quality concerns, ensuring PFAS contaminants are effectively reduced as well as microplastics. Our range encompasses filtration systems for drinking water, low-volume ice, low-volume fountain beverages, and coffee vending.
How to Test Your Water for PFAS
The Environmental Working Group (EWG) collected water samples from around the country and mapped them in a useful, interactive PFAS Contamination Map. According to the EWG, as of January 2021, more than 2,300 locations in 49 states are known to have PFAS contamination. If you believe the drinking water in your home or private well could contain PFAS, it’s best to conduct a water test for confirmation.
For accurate results, you should find a laboratory certified by the EPA to test for drinking water contaminants. Search the EPA database of local certified laboratories and contact them right away. They will provide instructions for collecting and shipping your water sample to determine if your water contains PFAS.
PFAS & DRINKING WATER
Our systems can be implemented across a wide array of water dispensing points. This technology is capable of reducing PFAS levels to help ensure that the water consumed in your establishment meets a higher standard of quality. Provide water that is considered safer for consumption with our PFAS reducing products.
