What are PFAS and why are they called "forever chemicals"?

What are PFAS and why are they called “forever chemicals”? PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a large group of human-made chemicals widely used since the 1940s to manufacture stain-resistant, water-repellent, and non-stick consumer goods.

They are called “forever chemicals” because they feature an incredibly strong carbon-fluorine bond. They do not naturally break down in the environment or the human body, meaning they slowly accumulate over time.

How do we remove PFAS from our water?

– Our Kenai EcoProMax “Whole-house” POE (point of entry) system is a softener and filter, combined into one simple, space saving unit.

– Our Kenai Freshstream RO POU (point of use) system removes 98% of contaminants from your drinking water, supplying you with truly purified drinking water. RO is the same process used by bottled water companies, for purifying drinking water.
