PFAS Removal Systems & Filter

The water industry is facing an unprecedented crisis. Recent investigations have uncovered widespread contamination of “forever chemicals” across UK water sources, affecting virtually every region of the country. These persistent pollutants, known as PFAS, don’t break down naturally and can accumulate in the human body over time. The question every water system operator must ask today is: Is your infrastructure protected?

For water system operators, this represents both an immediate challenge and a long-term responsibility. Conventional water treatment methods like coagulation and standard filtration are largely ineffective against PFAS, achieving removal rates of just 0-5%. This means that without specialised treatment, these contaminants can pass directly through existing infrastructure into the water supply.

The scale of contamination is staggering. Independent research has revealed that PFAS contamination isn’t limited to a few unlucky regions—it’s a systemic issue that spans the entire country. Over 11,853 water samples have tested positive for these dangerous chemicals, with some locations showing PFOS levels 18 times higher than safety limits.

Perhaps most alarming is the discovery that 98% of UK rivers now contain these “forever chemicals.” This isn’t just an environmental issue—it’s a direct threat to public health and the integrity of our water infrastructure. PFAS exposure has been definitively linked to serious health conditions including cancer, liver damage, and compromised immune function.
