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?

“PFAS are man-made chemicals that have been used in industry and consumer products worldwide since the 1940s. They have been used to make nonstick cookware, water-repellent clothing, stain resistant fabrics and carpets, some cosmetics, some firefighting foams, and products that resist grease, water, and oil. ”
PFAS are the latest boogeyman chemical, and we’re not sure if they have health effects or not. If you’re wanting to filter them from your water, I’d look at reverse osmosis filters since they will filter anything harmful out of the water. Anything marketed specifically to remove PFAS is more likely to be intended to cash in on a trend.
