PFAS and Health Canada 2025 guidelines: what RO actually removes
Certified reverse osmosis remains the most reliable in-home option for PFAS reduction at the tap.
Why PFAS matters
Health Canada's updated drinking water objectives tighten acceptable PFAS levels. Many municipal plants are upgrading, but point-of-use RO is still the fastest home fix.
Look for certification
Choose systems tested for PFAS reduction (NSF/ANSI standards where available) and maintain pre-filters on schedule.
Pair with whole-home carbon
Carbon reduces chlorine and improves taste; RO polishes drinking water. Ask a local installer for a combined quote.
