Protect Your Family from PFOS, PFAS & Microplastics with the Right Water Filtration System

Introduction:
Clean drinking water is essential for your health and well-being. Unfortunately, many water supplies today contain harmful contaminants like PFOS, PFAS, and microplastics. These invisible pollutants have been linked to serious health risks — but the good news is, there are effective ways to protect your home. At Water Doctor, we specialize in water treatment systems that give you peace of mind.

What Are PFOS and PFAS?

PFOS (Perfluorooctane Sulfonate) and PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) are synthetic chemicals commonly called “forever chemicals” because they don’t easily break down in the environment. They are used in products like non-stick cookware, firefighting foam, and water-resistant fabrics.

Health Risks of PFOS/PFAS:

• May increase cancer risk (kidney, liver)

• Affects immune and hormone systems

• Can harm child development and fertility

These chemicals can leach into groundwater, meaning even private wells and municipal water supplies can be affected.

What Are Microplastics?

Microplastics are tiny plastic particles less than 5 mm in size. They come from degraded plastic waste, synthetic clothing fibers, and even bottled water.

Why They’re Dangerous:

• Microplastics can absorb and carry toxic chemicals

• They can enter the human body through food and water

• Linked to inflammation and potential long-term health risks

How Can Water Filtration Help?

Boiling water doesn’t remove PFAS or microplastics. You need specialized filtration solutions:

1. Activated Carbon Filters:
   Removes PFOS/PFAS by adsorption.

2. Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems:
   Highly effective for PFAS, microplastics, heavy metals, and other dissolved contaminants.

3. Whole-House Filtration:
   Protects all faucets, showers, and appliances with clean water.

At Water Doctor, we offer factory-direct pricing and professional installation of both softeners and RO systems designed for Canadian homes. Our systems are tested and optimized to remove PFOS, PFAS, and microplastics effectively, giving your family safer, better-tasting water.
