what are PFAs? Is it worth it to buy a filter to remove them?

60 viewsBiologyOther

In short, my girlfriend keeps talking about PFAs. Yesterday she showed me a series of PFA removal devices that are supposed to remove 100% of them from tap water. All of them are either expensive upfront of expensive over time with the filter replacements. Is it worth trying to remove them from my drinking water?

There are pitcher filters and canister filters that are effective, such as ZeroWater and Berkey. The frequency you will need to change the filter will depend on the condition of the tap water. For example, my tap water is very hard, so I need to replace the ZeroWater filter every 7 to 10 days for a two person household. The Berkey filter lasts longer, but is much more expensive up-front. Reverse Osmosis may be a better solution for long term. Fortunately my community water system is transitioning to “Town water” in the next few months, so I won’t need my ZeroWater much longer.
