Forever Chemicals...
In our world today, Forever Chemicals (PFAS), including PFOA and PFOS, are causing growing concern. Due to their enduring nature and pervasive use, they're found everywhere - from our blood to our food. Studies have indicated that such exposure may have negative health effects.
They are dubbed 'forever chemicals' because they do not naturally break down in the environment.
Commercial PFAS Reduction
PFAS contaminants pose a risk to customers, in foodservice establishments, due to their widespread prescence and potential health effects.
Everpure offers a suite of water treatment solutions designed to mitigate water quality issues by effectively reducing PFAS and Microplastics. These technologies ensure the water in your establishment meets superior quality standards, making it better for consumption by addressing PFAS contamination.
With three system sizes to choose from, from 1.5 gpm up to 1.67 gpm, with capacities of 1000, 4000 and 10,000 gallons, for fountain and drinking water, plus three more systems which include a built-in scale inhibitor, to address scale build-up in coffee brewers and ice machines
About PFAS "Forever Chemicals"
PFAS are a class of about 15,000 compounds most frequently used to make products that are water, stain and grease resistant.
They have been linked to cancer, birth defects, decreased immunity, high cholesterol, kidney disease and a range of other serious health concerns.
Significant sources of PFAS contamination are from sites where manufacturers illegally dump PFAS into sources of water. Also, when landfills contain PFAS, it's common for them to seep into groundwater. It can also happen when PFAS-containing products are burnt in incinerators.
Reducing PFAS in Drinking water
Water filtration for PFAS is one of the best ways to reduce levels of these contaminants in your water supply.
Pentair Everpure is going to battle against PFAS. In response to the growing concern, Pentair has launched their initial commercial PFOA/PFOS water solutions line.
These systems work to specifically target Forever Chemicals, reducing levels to 20 parts per trillion (ppt). They also help reduce microplastics, lead, chlorine and other particles, down to 0.5 microns (1/50,000th of an inch), to ensure the highest quality of drinking and ingredient water.

Where do PFAS come from?
PFAS can be found in a variety of consumer products, including non-stick cookware, water-repellent fabrics, firefighting foam, and food packaging, to name a few.
PFOA and PFOS have been slowly phased out of use and removed from consumer products, and the average amount detected in human blood appears to be declining over the past two decades.
However, dozens of other PFAS compounds remain in use, caused by industrial polluters, such as military bases and installations, where firefighting foam laced with PFAS is a major cause of groundwater contamination.

Recent Studies About The Extent of PFAS Contamination
More than 143 million people in the United States may be exposed to toxic “forever chemicals” in their drinking water, according to a new analysis of water testing data.
What are Microplastics?
The health effects of microplastics have emerged as an area of growing concern. While the full extent of their impact on human health is still under investigation, several potential health risks have been identified.
