PFOA/PFAS Water Filters for Sydney Homes
PFAS chemicals, often called “forever chemicals”, have gained national attention due to their persistence in the environment and potential health concerns. These compounds are commonly found in firefighting foam, industrial manufacturing, and older commercial processes. Because they don’t break down naturally, PFAS can enter groundwater and remain for years, making a PFAS water filter an essential safeguard for many Sydney households.
Full House Water Filtration installs advanced PFAS filtration systems designed to help protect your home’s water supply. These systems add a layer of safety beyond standard town water treatment and give Sydney families peace of mind.
Why PFAS & PFOA Filtration Matters
Sydney’s water supply is generally safe, but households located near industrial areas, airports, or former defence sites may face a higher risk of PFAS contamination. Even low-level presence of PFAS has led many families to take proactive steps to ensure safer household water.
A professionally installed filtration system provides reassurance, long-term reliability, and added security for your home’s water.
PFAS Water Filter – How It Works
A PFAS water filter uses high-grade adsorption media, typically activated carbon or specialty resins, to target and capture PFAS compounds before they reach your taps. Standard household filtration cannot effectively remove these contaminants, making a dedicated system necessary for homes wanting additional protection.
In some cases, reverse osmosis systems may also be recommended for point-of-use drinking water, depending on testing results and household needs.
Key Benefits of PFAS Water Filters
- Helps reduce chemicals associated with long-term health concerns
- Offers added protection for homes near airports, defence sites, or industrial zones
- Enhances the safety of drinking, cooking, and bathing water
- Works as an additional barrier beyond government water treatment
- Can be combined with whole-house filtration for complete protection
PFOA Filters – What They Do
PFOA is one of the most widely recognised PFAS chemicals and is found in some industrial materials, stain-resistant products, and firefighting foams. Like PFAS, it does not break down easily, which means it can persist in water supplies for decades.
How PFOA Filters Protect Your Home
A PFOA filter is designed with advanced filtration media that trap PFOA particles effectively. Unlike standard carbon filters, these systems target smaller and more persistent contaminants.
Benefits of PFOA Filters
- Targets difficult-to-remove PFOA compounds
- Improves water taste, clarity, and overall quality
- Provides extra protection for properties in high-risk locations
- Can be installed as part of a whole-house or under-sink system
- Works in combination with PFAS filters for maximum safety
