Certified PFOA & PFAS Water Filter Systems
At HQ Water Solutions, we are committed to providing clean, safe, and contaminant-free water for your home or business. One of the most pressing issues affecting water quality today is the presence of PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) and PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic Acid)—often referred to as “forever chemicals.” These man-made chemicals are persistent in our water, the environment, and the human body, posing serious health risks even at extremely low levels. Our cutting-edge PFOA and PFAS water filter systems are designed to remove PFAS from drinking water and help you protect your family.

Frequently Asked Questions About PFAS Water Filter Systems
1. What are PFAS, and why should I remove them from my tap water?
PFAS, or Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, are harmful man-made chemicals found in tap water due to their widespread use in consumer and industrial products. They are linked to serious health risks, including immune system suppression and other chronic conditions. Removing PFAS ensures safer, healthier, and cleaner drinking water for your family.
2. How do PFAS water filters work?
PFAS water filters use advanced technologies like reverse osmosis, ion exchange, and activated carbon to reduce harmful PFAS compounds in your water. These filter systems trap and remove PFAS, leaving you with clean, filtered water that is safe to drink.
3. Can filters reduce PFAS compounds to undetectable levels?
Yes, high-quality systems like reverse osmosis and ion exchange filters are designed to remove PFAS compounds to non-detectable levels, making your water essentially PFAS-free. Regularly replacing your filter is crucial for maintaining these results.
4. How often should I replace my filter?
The filter life depends on the type of system and your water quality. For example, reverse osmosis pre- and post-filters typically last about one year, while the RO membrane lasts up to 18 months. Always follow manufacturer and installation recommendations to ensure optimal performance.
5. Does a PFAS water filter improve taste and odor?
Yes, filters that reduce PFAS often include components like activated carbon, which also eliminate unpleasant tastes and odors, providing clean, great-tasting water.
6. What is the capacity of a typical PFAS water filter system?
Most systems are designed to filter gallons of water efficiently. For instance, a reverse osmosis system can produce up to 75 gallons of water per day, while whole-house systems can handle much higher volumes, ensuring clean water for every tap in your home.
7. How do I know if my tap water contains PFAS?
You can have your water tested to determine the levels of PFAS compounds and other contaminants. HQ Water Solutions offers guidance and filtration solutions based on your water quality report. Schedule your FREE PFAS consultation!
8. Are filter systems effective at removing PFAS and other contaminants?
Yes, the filtration systems we use are certified to remove PFAS and additional contaminants such as lead, cysts, and chlorine, ensuring you have safe and filtered water throughout your home.
9. Is a reverse osmosis system the best option to remove PFAS?
Reverse osmosis is one of the most effective options to remove PFAS. It combines high-efficiency membranes and activated carbon to reduce PFAS compounds and other pollutants, ensuring the safety of your tap water.
10. Can I get free water testing before choosing a filtration system?
Some water filtration providers, including HQ Water Solutions, may offer free water consultations or water testing services to help you determine the right system for your home.
11. Why should I choose a filter system that reduces PFAS?
Investing in a filter system that reduces PFAS protects your health and the environment. PFAS-free water minimizes exposure to these toxic compounds, reducing long-term health risks and safeguarding your immune system.
12. Do I need to worry about filter life if I don’t use much water?
Even if your household uses fewer gallons of water, filters still need periodic replacement to maintain effectiveness. Over time, contaminants can clog the system, reducing its ability to filter PFAS and other pollutants.
13. Are there health risks associated with PFAS in tap water?
Yes, PFAS exposure has been linked to various health risks, including cancer, immune system suppression, and developmental issues. Installing a PFAS water filter significantly reduces these risks, ensuring safe drinking water for your family.
14. Are bottled water and tap water equally safe?
Bottled water often contains more microplastic particles due to the breakdown of packaging materials. Tap water may have fewer, but contamination depends on the source. We encourage you to schedule a free PFAS consultation to learn more about your risk levels and options.
