- SteveNuts 3y agoI’d be shocked if home appliance filters are capable of filtering PFAS anyways.
- _dark_matter_ 3y agoRO definitely does. Other filters can as well, but maybe not as well. https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/14/health/pfas-water-filters-wellness/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/14/health/pfas-water-filters-wel...
- thsksbd 3y agoA RO undersink system costs $200 dollars. And it blocks everything but dissolved gasses.
- Projectiboga 3y agoOnly downside with RO is it uses more water, but depending on water quality and cost it is often wirth it. Over on the carbon filter side there is KX media, which does a redox reaction and can kill giardiasis and help with slight contamination. It also does a great job against chlorine but chloramine is harder to filter.
- thsksbd 3y agoIf you live in my corner of the USofA the concept of "wasting" water is meaningless. I actually posed this question to an LA water conservation engineer guy. He didn't know how you could possibly water here.
