π§ PFAS in your well water? Test first, then choose a filter.
π‘ If your New Hampshire home runs on a private well, PFAS testing and treatment are your responsibility, not a utility's. And here's the tricky part: you can't see, taste, or smell these "forever chemicals."
π§ͺ Start with a certified lab test. It tells you which PFAS compounds are present, at what levels, and whether iron, manganese, hardness, or radon are also in play, all of which affect how well a PFAS filter actually performs. (Store-bought DIY kits won't cut it, and they don't qualify for rebate paperwork. β)
πΏ Whole-house or under-sink? That's the next big decision and sometimes the right answer is both. Whole-house RO, on the other hand, is usually more complicated than homeowners expect: it wastes a lot of water, can overload a septic system, and makes water more corrosive to plumbing. β οΈ
π΅ New Hampshire has also offered a PFAS removal rebate program for eligible private well owners, worth checking before you start any work.
