Who should care about PFAS?

I hear this a lot: "We are on city water, so we are fine" or "We are on a well, so the water is natural."

PFAS is not picky about where it shows up. If PFAS is in the source water upstream, it can end up at the tap, whether that source is a reservoir, a river, or groundwater.

If you want the plain-English explanation of why this is not just a well-water issue, start here:

PFAS (“forever chemicals”) can show up in both well water and municipal water—and the internet can make it feel scarier than it needs to. Here’s a plain-English guide to what PFAS are, why parts-per-trillion matters, and the smartest first steps to protect the water you drink every day.

Does Boiling remove PFAS?
Common question: "If I boil my water, does that remove PFAS?"

Boiling is great for some things (like killing germs), but it is not a reliable way to remove PFAS. In some cases, boiling can actually concentrate certain contaminants as water evaporates.

If PFAS is your concern, the better path is testing and then choosing a filter that is designed and certified for that job.

If PFAS is found, what should I do first?
If PFAS shows up in a water test, the first step is usually not panic and it is not automatically whole-house treatment.

For most households, the practical priority is protecting the water you ingest every day:
- drinking water
- cooking water
- coffee and tea
- ice
- baby formula

That is why a lot of guidance focuses on point-of-use filtration at the kitchen tap first, then deciding if anything beyond that is worth it for your home.

What are PFAS, in plain English?
PFAS stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. They are a big group of man-made chemicals that have been used in products since the 1950s.
The tricky part for homeowners is this: you cannot see, smell, or taste PFAS in water. So if you want a real answer for your home, testing is the only reliable way.

PFAS question I hear a lot: “If PFAS is found, do I need to treat my whole house immediately?”

Plain-English answer: for most people, guidance focuses first on drinking and cooking water (not showering/bathing). CDPHE notes current research shows PFAS do not easily enter the body through the skin, so drinking water is often the bigger exposure route.
