PFOA Removal

No one should have to worry about the safety of their tap water. With recent studies highlighting the presence of PFOA in areas across the Twin Cities and Western Wisconsin, addressing water quality concerns has never been more important.

At Croix Crystal, we provide proven water treatment systems that target and reduce harmful contaminants like PFOA. Our experts will assess your water quality and recommend effective solutions so you can feel confident in every drop your family uses for drinking, cooking, and bathing.

What Is PFOA?

PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid) is a man-made chemical developed in the 1940s to create products resistant to water, stains, oil, and heat. It was widely used in non-stick cookware, firefighting foams, ski wax, and food packaging materials.

While no longer manufactured in the U.S., PFOA lingers in the environment and can leach into groundwater near production sites. This persistence means families in Minnesota and Wisconsin may still be exposed through their drinking water.

PFOA Harms

Yes. Studies have linked PFOA exposure to potential health risks, including developmental issues, immune effects, and certain cancers. Even at low levels, long-term exposure is a concern — making filtration and removal critical.

PFOA in Water

PFOA doesn’t remain in finished consumer products but often contaminates soil and water near manufacturing sites. Over time, it can seep into groundwater and municipal water supplies, increasing the risk for surrounding communities.

Solutions for PFOA Removal

Reverse Osmosis Systems

‍Reverse osmosis is one of the most effective treatment methods for PFOA. These systems use a semipermeable membrane to filter out harmful chemicals, delivering purified water at the tap for drinking, cooking, and more.

Whole-House Filtration Systems

‍For comprehensive protection, whole-house filtration systems treat all the water entering your home. Options like carbon filtration can help reduce contaminants across faucets, showers, and appliances — ensuring safer water throughout your household.
