Values are from the published EPA record; a contaminant that was never tested is shown as pending, never as a pass. A system-level result, not a measurement of any single home. That limit is judged on a yearly average, and water systems have until 2029 to meet it, so a single sample is not a violation.
What can carry a PFHxS reduction claim
- Reverse osmosis
Semi-permeable membrane separation removing dissolved minerals, heavy metals, and persistent fluorinated chemicals down to 0.0001 microns.
- Activated carbon (GAC)
Highly porous adsorption media targeting chlorine, disinfection byproducts, volatile organic compounds, and organic chemicals.
- Anion exchange
Synthetic polyvalent resin beads that exchange unwanted dissolved ionic contaminants for harmless benchmark ions.
Boiling does not remove a dissolved chemical compound and can concentrate it. Many pitcher and refrigerator filters carry no verified claim for a compound like this at all.
A finding establishes the need, the need names the capability, the capability requires a verified certification. No product appears before that sequence completes. Filter Finder →
