Remove Forever Chemicals From Your Water
PFAS, better known as “forever chemicals,” have turned up in water supplies across Pennsylvania. They’re invisible, they don’t break down, and they build up in the body over time. Myers Brothers helps families find out what’s in their water and reduce PFAS where it counts most: the water you drink and cook with.
What are PFAS?
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are man-made chemicals used since the 1940s in non-stick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, food packaging, and firefighting foam. They’re called “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down in the environment or in the body.
You can’t taste, smell, or see them
PFAS have no color, taste, or odor, so water that looks and tastes perfectly clean can still contain them. Testing is the only way to know.
Private wells aren’t monitored
Public water systems in Pennsylvania are required to test for PFOA and PFOS. If your home is on a private well, no one is checking for forever chemicals but you.
Reverse osmosis at the tap
A reverse osmosis membrane reduces PFOA and PFOS by 90% or more, along with lead, nitrates, and other dissolved solids, delivering cleaner drinking water from its own faucet.
Treatment where it matters most
Most PFAS exposure from water comes from drinking it and cooking with it, so a dedicated drinking water tap puts treatment exactly where it does the most good.
Built around your water
Every recommendation starts with your water source and test results, so the system you get matches what’s actually in your water instead of a one-size-fits-all package.
Installed and serviced by our team
PFAS treatment only works when membranes and filters are changed on schedule. The same team that installs your system services it, so you have one point of contact for the life of the equipment.
The EPA has linked long-term PFAS exposure to an increased risk of some cancers, effects on the immune system and thyroid, and developmental effects in children. Pennsylvania now sets drinking water limits for PFOA and PFOS, the two most-studied PFAS, measured in parts per trillion. Reverse osmosis is one of the most effective ways to bring those levels down at home.
