Brita Elite vs. PFAS in NJ: Why Pitcher Filters Aren't Enough for Your Family's Safety
Many homeowners in Northern New Jersey are rightly concerned about contaminants like PFAS, often called "forever chemicals," in their drinking water. This is a topic we at Aqua Doctor take very seriously. We've seen an increase in families looking for quick fixes, and one of the most common solutions people consider is a pitcher filter. But here's the crucial truth: while popular, these filters do not effectively remove the full spectrum of these highly toxic PFAS contaminants. The health of your family is too important to leave to chance.
The Dangerous Misconception of Brita's PFAS Efficacy
When you see a filter pitcher that claims to remove certain contaminants, it can be easy to assume it provides comprehensive protection. However, we've found that this is a dangerous misconception when it comes to forever chemicals. The reality is that these filters are not designed to handle the complex structure and variety of PFAS compounds. They may only capture a small fraction, leaving the majority behind in your drinking water.
Why Proper Water Testing is Your First Step
Before any solution can be found, you need to know exactly what is in your water. Guessing with your family's health is a risk you don't need to take. Our certified water testing services accurately identify the presence and concentration of PFAS and other chemicals. We are proud to be a New Jersey State Certified Spill Fund vendor for PFAS remediation, which means our testing is reliable and may even be eligible for reimbursement.
The True Whole-Home Solution: POET Systems
Once we identify the contaminants in your water, we provide a permanent solution. Pitcher filters only treat a small amount of water for drinking. But what about the water you use for cooking, showering, and brushing your teeth? A Point-of-Entry Treatment (POET) system professionally installed by our team provides comprehensive, whole-home protection. It treats every drop of water entering your home, ensuring your family is protected at every faucet.
Your Family's Health Requires a Professional
When it comes to something as vital as your water, trusting a professional is essential. Our team has over 30 years of experience and is hands-on in every installation, ensuring the highest standards. We custom-build and install every system to address the specific PFAS levels in your home, providing a solution that is both effective and efficient.
