PFAS Water Filtration FAQs

Common questions about PFAS, our systems, and what to expect - answered by our experts.

What does PFAS stand for, and why should I be concerned?

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are synthetic forever chemicals, including compounds like PFOA and PFOS, that don’t break down easily in the environment or the human body. They’ve been found in tap water across Eastern Pennsylvania and are linked to health concerns with long-term exposure.

The EPA has issued health advisories, and many states are setting limits - HomeShield is certified to reduce PFAS to safely below 4 parts per trillion. Because you can’t see, taste, or smell them, a certified water test is the first step to knowing your PFAS level and whether your family needs whole-home protection.

How do I know if my home's water contains PFAS?

The only way to know for sure is professional water testing - PFAS are odorless and colorless, so taste and smell won’t tip you off.

Federal testing has already detected PFAS in municipal supplies across Bucks, Montgomery, and Chester counties, and well water can also be at risk, especially near industrial sites or former military installations. We offer free in-home testing with no cost and no obligation. We check PFAS levels along with chlorine, pH, hardness, and other contaminants, then walk you through the results in plain language so you know exactly what you’re dealing with before recommending any system.

Do basic pitcher-style or faucet filters remove PFAS?

Most basic pitcher-style and standard faucet filters (including many common activated carbon filters) are not certified or designed to remove PFAS. They may improve chlorine taste and odor, but forever chemicals need specialized filtration media, such as high-performance carbon block or reverse osmosis, to achieve meaningful reduction.

If PFAS removal is the priority, look for systems specifically tested and certified for PFAS reduction. Our Hague HomeShield Whole House Filter is NSF/ANSI 53 certified for PFAS reduction and treats water throughout the home - not just one faucet - with a compact, zero-wastewater design.

Does boiling water remove PFAS?

No, boiling water does not remove PFAS and can make levels higher as water evaporates while the chemicals remain. PFAS are highly heat-stable, so high temperatures don’t break them down the way boiling can help with some bacteria.

The most effective approach is certified filtration - such as reverse osmosis or specialized activated carbon systems like HomeShield - sized to your test results so PFAS are reduced where your family actually uses water.

How often does the filter for a PFAS water filter system need to be replaced?

HomeShield filters typically need replacement every 6–12 months, depending on your household’s water use and contaminant load. The system includes smart monitoring - an integrated Performance Indication Device (PID) that tracks real-time usage, flow rate, and alerts - so performance stays visible between visits.

After installation (most jobs are completed in a few hours and usually scheduled within 1–2 weeks), we teach you how to use the system, track service for you, and reach out proactively when a filter change is due so you never have to remember on your own.

What are the health risks associated with PFAS exposure?

PFAS exposure has been linked to a range of serious health risks.

  • Studies have associated long-term exposure with increased risk of certain cancers, including kidney and testicular cancer.
  • PFAS can also disrupt hormone and immune system function, lead to thyroid disease, affect liver health, and interfere with cholesterol levels.
  • Pregnant women and children are particularly vulnerable, as PFAS exposure has been connected to developmental issues, low birth weight, and reduced vaccine effectiveness in children.

Because these forever chemicals accumulate in the body over time, even low-level exposure through contaminated drinking water can pose significant long-term concerns, which is why testing matters and why certified HomeShield filtration can make such a big impact.
