Is an activated charcoal filter like in a fridge or Brita or something enough to filter out that kind of contaminant?

- barrkel 3y agoBrita filters also have ion exchange resin as well as activated charcoal. However it's not enough to remove PFAS, there was a lawsuit about this, if you do a search.
- seszett 3y agoNo.
- sfritz 3y agomy understanding is not as much and not as consistently as more advanced filters
- fauigerzigerk 3y agoI don't know. We have started using Epic Pure filters. They claim to filter PFOA/PFOS [1]. Don't take this as a recommendation though. I have no expertise in this at all and I haven't done any tests to confirm whether Epic's claims are actually true. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1681/3573/files/Epic_Pure_Data_Sheet_2023.pdf?v=1702678182 https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1681/3573/files/Epic_Pure_...
