Understanding PFAS Contamination and Solutions for Clean Water


Introduction

In a recent study conducted by Wisconsin Public Radio (WPR), alarming rates of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) were detected in 71% of shallow private wells tested statewide. This discovery highlights the pressing need for effective water treatment solutions to combat this pervasive contamination. Aqua-Wise Water Treatment Solutions offers a range of advanced systems capable of eliminating PFAS and ensuring safe, clean water for households and communities.


What are PFAS?

PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals widely used in products such as non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, and firefighting foams. Due to their persistence in the environment, PFAS can leach into groundwater and contaminate water sources, posing serious health risks when consumed.


The Impact on Water Quality

The detection of PFAS in private wells across Wisconsin underscores the vulnerability of shallow groundwater sources. PFAS contamination can lead to adverse health effects including developmental issues, liver damage, immune system dysfunction, and an increased risk of certain cancers.

Comments: I am so glad that I chose Aqua Wise for our water softener and RO installation. It was ultimately a decision for our health, but it's a big purchase and we wanted to make sure we were in good hands. Eyal explained everything every step of the way. You can tell he is very knowledgeable and passionate about water quality. He and his son came out quickly and the installation was seamless. We needed an electrician as well to come out and install a power supply, which Eyal also arranged for. They offer financing options as well, and they are reasonably priced in my opinion. I highly recommend Aqua Wise for your home's water needs, and supporting a local family owned business. Thank you Aqua Wise!
