Potential Health Concerns (Still Under Study)
Exposure to PFOS and PFOA has been linked to various health concerns, including immune system disruption, hormone interference, and even increased cancer risks. Because these chemicals are so resilient, they often end up in drinking water sources, posing a significant health threat.
But PFAS isn’t the only hidden danger in your water. Microplastics—tiny plastic particles that come from degraded materials and industrial runoff—are now frequently detected in both tap and bottled water. These microscopic particles may carry toxins and have been shown to accumulate in the human body, leading to potential long-term health risks. That’s why having the best water filter for microplastics is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.
Microplastics in drinking water are a growing concern, but the long-term health effects are still being researched. Scientists worry about:
- Ingestion & Accumulation – Some particles may pass through the body, while others may be absorbed into tissues.
- Chemical Exposure – Many microplastics carry harmful chemicals like BPA, phthalates, and PFAS, which can disrupt hormones.
- Microbial Contaminants – Microplastics can carry bacteria, viruses, or heavy metals, increasing contamination risks.
How to Remove Microplastics from Water
The best way to eliminate microplastics is through advanced filtration methods, such as:
- Activated Carbon & Multi-Stage Filters – Reduces contaminants like microplastics (e.g., Barlow’s system).
- Reverse Osmosis Systems – Effectively removes microplastics along with PFOS/PFOA.
- Ultrafiltration & Nanofiltration – Removes particles as small as 0.001 microns.
Filtration Equipment for effective removal of Microplastics, PFOA and PFOS in water
When it comes to your family’s water, peace of mind starts with the right filtration system. The ONE™ Contaminant Reduction System by Evolve® offers certified, two-stage protection against some of the most challenging contaminants found in Connecticut’s water supply. This advanced system combines a specialized ONE™ cartridge filter with the proven technology behind Evolve® softeners and filters, creating a powerful defense against harmful substances like microplastics, lead, cysts, and dangerous chemicals such as PFOA and PFOS.
Certified to NSF/ANSI 53 for lead and cyst reduction and NSF P473 for PFOS/PFOA reduction, the ONE™ system provides high-capacity filtration—treating up to 100,000 gallons of water while maintaining a high flow rate. Whether you’re searching for the best water filter for microplastics or reliable PFOS filters and PFOA filters, the ONE™ system offers unparalleled contaminant reduction with fewer cartridge changes.
When paired with an Evolve® softener, your system not only removes harmful contaminants but also reduces hardness minerals like calcium, preventing scale buildup in your plumbing, fixtures, and appliances. Alternatively, coupling the ONE™ system with an Evolve® filter can help reduce sulfur odors, iron, red stains, and turbidity—improving the taste and clarity of your water.
The system’s smart technology also tracks the ONE™ cartridge lifespan, monitoring up to 100,000 gallons of usage and notifying you when it’s time for a replacement—ensuring continuous protection and optimal performance.
