Contaminant Guide

PFAS in Your Drinking Water

PFAS 'forever chemicals' don't break down in the environment — or in your body. Wilmington, NC, Charleston, SC, and communities near military bases are at elevated risk.

Key Facts

  • EPA maximum contaminant level for PFOA and PFOS: 4 parts per trillion (ppt)
  • PFAS have been detected in water near Joint Base Charleston
  • GenX contamination in the Cape Fear River near Wilmington is well documented
  • The EPA identifies reverse osmosis and activated carbon among treatment technologies for PFAS
  • Testing is the only way to confirm whether PFAS are present in your water

The Solution

Reverse osmosis is among the treatment technologies the EPA identifies for reducing PFAS in drinking water. ClearFlow installs reverse osmosis systems for point-of-use drinking water; reduction performance is defined by the manufacturer's published specifications and certifications and varies with water conditions.

PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) — FAQ

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of over 12,000 synthetic chemicals used in nonstick cookware, firefighting foam (AFFF), food packaging, and industrial processes. They are called 'forever chemicals' because they do not break down in the environment.
