PFAS Removal for Massachusetts Homes & Wells

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or “forever chemicals”) are man-made compounds used in products like nonstick coatings, firefighting foam, and water-repellent fabrics. They don’t break down naturally and have been linked to health concerns. Massachusetts set an enforceable limit of 20 parts per trillion for six PFAS combined (PFAS6) in 2020, one of the strictest standards in the country, and testing has found PFAS above that limit in public water systems across the state.

Yes, with the right technology. The treatment methods proven to reduce PFAS are activated carbon, reverse osmosis, and ion exchange. We install certified systems using these methods, sized to your test results, either at a single drinking tap (point-of-use) or for the whole home (point-of-entry). No filter is magic, so we start by measuring your actual PFAS level and match the system to it.

You test for it, you can’t see, taste, or smell PFAS. If you’re on public water, your utility’s Consumer Confidence Report may list recent PFAS results, but that’s a system-wide average, not your tap. If you’re on a private well, no one tests it but you. Our free in-home water test screens your actual water and we confirm PFAS with a certified lab where it counts, so you know your real number before spending a dollar on treatment.

They solve different problems and often work together. A whole-house (point-of-entry) system reduces PFAS at every tap, including showers and laundry; a reverse-osmosis system at the kitchen sink adds a powerful final barrier for drinking and cooking water. Your free-test results and PFAS level tell us which combination actually fits your home, we never sell you more than you need.

Yes, and it matters most for wells. Private wells aren’t regulated or tested by the state, so no one checks them but you. Massachusetts groundwater can carry PFAS along with arsenic, manganese, iron, and bacteria. We test your well water for PFAS and design treatment for exactly what we find.

It depends on your PFAS level and whether you treat one tap or the whole home, so we give you an upfront, fixed quote after the free test, with financing available on larger installs. No pressure and no surprises. Many homes start with a drinking-water system and add whole-home treatment over time.

Quality whole-home systems typically last many years with basic upkeep. As certified BritaPRO specialists we install and service everything we sell, including filter changes and softener maintenance, so your system keeps performing.

No, when it’s sized correctly. That’s exactly why we test and measure your flow first: a system matched to your home’s demand maintains strong pressure at every tap. An undersized or big-box unit is what causes pressure problems, which is why we spec professional-grade equipment for your specific home.

For most homes, yes, and it’s far cheaper over time. A whole-house or drinking-water system gives you clean water at every tap for cooking, coffee, and refills without the cost, plastic, and hauling of bottled water. Many customers install a system for less than they were spending on bottled water each year.

Most residential installs are done in a single visit, typically a few hours, by our own licensed team. We protect the work area, clean up completely, and walk you through the system before we leave, no mess, no guesswork.

Yes. We’re certified BritaPRO specialists installing professional-grade systems, and we service everything we sell, including filter changes and softener upkeep, so your water keeps performing for years, not months.

Yes, genuinely free, no obligation. A certified specialist tests your actual water, explains the results in plain English, and only recommends treatment if you need it. Book online or call (781) 630-5449.
