PFAS Armor 20 BIG SX 1 mcr

What are PFAS?
PFAS (per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances) are a group of industrial chemicals that have been used for decades in products such as Teflon pans, outdoor clothing, firefighting foams, and packaging due to their water-, grease-, and dirt-repellent properties. They are also called "forever chemicals" because they are extremely persistent in the environment and hardly break down.

How can PFAS be removed from drinking water?

1. Choose suitable filtration systems:

   • Standard activated carbon filters usually remove only a few long-chain PFAS compounds (e.g., PFOA, PFOS, trifluoroacetic acid TFA).

2. Use certified filters:

   • Look for NSF/ANSI 53 certifications – specifically for PFAS reduction. Our PFAS Armor filter cartridges from Atlas Filtri meet these requirements!

   • PFOA+PFOS reduction capacity tested with 1.5 µg/l in influent water – reduction of at least 95%. Thus meets the PFAS reduction criteria according to the NSF/ANSI 53–2021 test protocol.

3. Replace filters regularly:

   • An overloaded or outdated filter can become ineffective or even release contaminants again.

   • Please strictly follow the replacement intervals recommended by the manufacturer.

As persistent contaminants, PFAS raise significant environmental and health concerns. Therefore, they must be reliably removed from water.
The PFAS Armor filter cartridge was specially developed to filter PFOA and PFOS from water. Additionally, chlorine, taste, odor, and other chemical residues are reliably removed.
