How to reduce PFAS in your water with water filtration

Also known as ‘forever chemicals’, PFAS is the collective term for thousands of PFOA and PFOS man-made chemicals, which are persistent in the environment and can accumulate in the human body. PFAS are commonly used in non-stick cooking items, water-resistant clothing and firefighting foams, and have been bioaccumulating in the environment since the 1940s. Although limited studies have been conducted on their effects on humans, the World Health Organisation has recently classified them as carcinogenic to humans.

RO270 Reverse Osmosis Filter System

To achieve optimal protection against PFAS,our best recommendation is to pair the FilterWall ™ F5 for whole house filtration, along with the RO270 reverse osmosis under sink system for ultra fine filtration.By connecting the FilterWall ™ F Series to your mains water inlet, you gain access to filtered water across your whole house for healthy drinking and bathing water. This means your daily exposure to PFAS is significantly reduced across all interactions with water. To further secure optimal drinking water, installing the RO270 under sink reverse osmosis filter will effectively separate chemicals from water with the use of the ultra-fine membrane. Reverse Osmosis is our best partner against PFAS, flushing all contaminants and reducing up to 96% of all dissolved impurities, heavy metals, salts, viruses, bacteria, cysts, fluoride, nitrate, chlorine, taste, odour and chemicals.

Your daily exposure to PFAS chemicals will not only be safeguarded for drinking, but also for any water your skin comes into contact with.
