PFAS Filtration System
U.S. Water introduces PFAS Shield™ –
a state-approved treatment system to remove PFAS contamination in Wisconsin’s private water systems
♦ READ PRESS RELEASE
PFAS Shield is a comprehensive solution for whole-home and business protection against PFAS water contamination, available only from U.S. Water. This advanced filtration system effectively removes harmful PFAS from your water supply, ensuring clean, safe drinking water for you and your family. With cutting-edge technology and reliable performance, PFAS Shield provides peace of mind and superior water quality.
Amid growing concerns over PFAS contamination in water systems in several Wisconsin communities, U.S. Water emerges as a pioneering force with the introduction of PFAS Shield™ – a cutting-edge treatment system to combat this pervasive threat head-on.
PFAS, a family of synthetic chemicals commonly referred to as “forever chemicals” for their persistence, are found in everyday items like fast-food packaging, non-stick cookware, and firefighting foams.
Based on the data, researchers estimated that at least one form of PFAS could be found in about 45% of tap water samples nationwide. They potentially pose significant health risks at high concentrations, according to the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Known PFAS sites in Wisconsin - PFAS can contaminate drinking water via industrial discharges into water, air, or soil, sewage treatment plant releases, sludge land application, landfill leaching, and specific fire-fighting foam usage.
Treating Contamination in Private Water Systems
While many municipalities are beginning to treat water community water sources, homeowners are responsible for their private wells. Unlike many common contaminants, PFAS compounds are resistant to most water treatment methods.
Introducing PFAS Shield
U.S. Water’s new groundbreaking point-of-entry filter system is the first of its kind in Wisconsin to receive state certification through the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS). Engineered by U.S. Water, this innovative system acts as a guardian for your home’s water, efficiently removing PFAS contaminants before they have a chance to enter your taps.
