PFAS (Forever Chemicals) Water Treatment & Filtration Systems
About PFAS
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, are often referred to as “forever chemicals” because they can withstand many conditions without breaking down, including exposure to water, heat, and grease. Studies have identified health risks associated with exposure to PFAS chemicals, from an increased risk of certain cancers to liver damage and thyroid disease. As a result, businesses face increased pressure to address their use and mitigate exposure to them.
Water treatment is one way to reduce the presence of PFAS chemicals in commercial and industrial water systems. Reynolds Culligan is a trusted expert in filtration and treatment solutions that can significantly reduce the presence of these chemicals in drinking water. Learn more about the systems we offer, some common questions about mitigating PFAS chemicals, and what makes Reynolds Culligan stand out.

Reducing PFAS in Your Water Supply: Our Solutions
It's important to realize that there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution for reducing PFAS levels in water. Reynolds Culligan has design and installation expertise with custom PFAS removal systems. We use different innovative technologies based on our customers’ particular requirements and water chemistries.- Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Systems
- Ion Exchange (IX) Systems
- Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems
Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Systems
GAC uses the principle of adsorption to reduce PFAS particles from water supplies. These systems contain different types of porous adsorption media, including lignite coal, peat, and bituminous coal. We use NSF-certified carbon for these systems because it has the ability to eliminate long-chain PFAS from water with optimal effectiveness.
Ion Exchange (IX) Systems
An IX system uses a chemical process called ion exchange to eliminate any dissolved ions from water sources, exchanging them with similarly charged ions. During this process, specialized resins bind to PFAS to remove them. These systems are a good choice for more targeted PFAS reduction, especially in combination systems for peak performance.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems
Reverse osmosis is a membrane separation process in which pressurized water is forced through multiple semipermeable membranes. The membranes keep designated molecules from getting through based on their molecular weight. This particular process can reduce short-chain PFAS, among many other contaminants, and is ideal for more extensive water treatment solutions.
In many cases, a multi-stage system that combines the systems described above is the most effective solution. We customize systems for each application, and provide media replacement and 24/7 support as part of our ongoing support services.
