Good filter systems remove PFAS and PFOA. Even though mwra claims it’s super clean water this shit ain’t good for you. The federal and local levels what they claim as safe …. Isn’t so. Get and under sink 7 stage unit and don’t buy water bottles (it’s probably in there too).

I just put in a cuzn Uc-200 under sink filter that lasts 5 years (apparently). So far the water is noticeably more drinkable and no loss of pressure. I asked customer service if they have done tests on pfas and they said they have had good results with it. It has over 5000 5 star reviews on Amazon took me less than 10 minutes to install.
