Pentair PFAS Solutions

Protection against Forever Chemicals

PFAS compounds, also known as 'forever chemicals', are a growing problem for water quality worldwide. Pentair has developed advanced solutions for the effective removal of these persistent contaminants from drinking water. AQUA HUB GROUP is your partner for the complete range of Pentair PFAS filtration systems, from residential point-of-use filters to commercial treatment systems.

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of thousands of synthetic chemicals used in numerous consumer and industrial products because of their water- and grease-repellent properties. These substances do not break down in the environment and can accumulate in the human body, which has led to growing concern about the health effects of long-term exposure. In Belgium and across Europe, increasingly strict limit values are being set for PFAS in drinking water.

The Pentair Freshpoint 2/3-stage system has been developed specifically for effective PFAS reduction in residential applications. This under-sink system combines sediment filtration with specialised carbon filtration to remove up to 99.7% of PFAS compounds. The system is NSF P473 certified for PFOA and PFOS reduction and offers reliable protection for your family.

The FloPlus Protect 20BB is designed for whole-house PFAS filtration and commercial applications. This high-capacity filter combines Fibredyne technology with specialised PFAS-adsorbing media for effective treatment at high flow rates. The 20-inch Big Blue format ensures a long service life between filter changes and is compatible with standard Big Blue filter housings.

The ChlorPlus Protect 10 offers combined chlorine and PFAS removal in a compact format. This versatile filter is ideal for situations where both taste improvement and PFAS reduction are desired. The 10-inch format fits standard filter housings and offers a cost-effective solution for residential water purification.

The effectiveness of PFAS filtration depends on various factors, including the specific PFAS compounds present in your water, their concentrations and your water-consumption pattern. Pentair PFAS filters are tested and certified for the removal of the most common PFAS compounds, including PFOA, PFOS and GenX. Regular filter replacement according to the recommended schedule is essential for continuous protection.

AQUA HUB GROUP offers expert advice on PFAS filtration for your specific situation. Our experts can help interpret water analyses, select the optimum filtration solution and determine replacement intervals. In areas with known PFAS problems, professional water treatment is not a luxury but a necessity for protecting your health. Contact us for a no-obligation consultation on PFAS filtration.

Frequently asked questions about Pentair PFAS Solutions

What are PFAS and why are they dangerous?
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are synthetic chemicals used in non-stick coatings, water-repellent materials and firefighting foam. They are called 'forever chemicals' because they do not break down in the environment. PFAS can accumulate in the human body and are associated with health risks from long-term exposure, including effects on the immune system and hormone balance.
How do I know whether my drinking water contains PFAS?
PFAS contamination cannot be detected by smell or taste. To find out PFAS levels, you can: request information from your water company, have a water analysis carried out by a certified laboratory, or consult the PFAS maps available from government agencies. In certain regions of Belgium, particularly near industrial sites or airports, elevated PFAS levels have been found.
Can boiling remove PFAS from water?
No, boiling does not remove PFAS from water. PFAS are thermally stable and do not evaporate at normal boiling temperatures. In fact, boiling can increase the concentration because water evaporates while the PFAS remain behind. PFAS removal requires specific filtration, such as Pentair systems with specialised adsorbing media.
Which Pentair system is best for PFAS removal at home?
For residential use, the Pentair Freshpoint 2/3-stage system is the optimum choice. This under-sink system is NSF P473 certified for PFOA and PFOS reduction of up to 99.7%. For whole-house protection, the FloPlus Protect 20BB can be used in combination with a Big Blue housing. AQUA HUB GROUP advises based on your specific PFAS situation.
How often should I replace a PFAS filter?
PFAS filters have a limited adsorption capacity and must be replaced regularly for continuous protection. The replacement frequency depends on the PFAS level in your water and your consumption. General guideline: every 6 months or after the recommended capacity. With high PFAS concentrations, more frequent replacement may be needed. Follow the manufacturer's specifications closely.
Do standard carbon filters remove PFAS?
Standard activated carbon filters offer limited PFAS reduction and are not certified for effective PFAS removal. Reliable PFAS removal requires specialised filters with specific media designed and tested for PFAS adsorption. Pentair PFAS filters such as the FloPlus Protect contain such specialised media.
What is the difference between PFOA, PFOS and GenX?
PFOA and PFOS are long-chain PFAS that were widely used but have now largely been phased out because of health risks. GenX is a short-chain replacement that also raises concerns. Pentair PFAS filters have been tested for the removal of multiple PFAS compounds, including these three. The specifications state which compounds have been tested and the reductions achieved.
Is filtered water 100% PFAS-free?
Certified PFAS filters reduce PFAS concentrations by 99% or more, but 'zero detection' cannot be guaranteed. Effectiveness depends on the specific PFAS compounds, their concentrations and whether the filter is used within its capacity. Regular filter replacement is essential for continuous protection. Pentair systems are certified for substantial reduction to safe levels.
Should I protect my whole house against PFAS or just my drinking water?
PFAS exposure via drinking water is the primary concern, as ingestion is the main route of uptake. Point-of-use filtration for drinking and cooking water is sufficient for most households. Whole-house filtration is an option for maximum protection, but is more costly and complex. AQUA HUB GROUP can advise on the most proportionate approach for your situation.
Where can I buy Pentair PFAS filters in Belgium?
