PFDoA in Patrick AFB Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of PFDoA in the Water Supply of Patrick AFB Florida Homes

PFDoA is one of the PFAS often called “forever chemicals” because it can linger in the environment and in water supplies for a very long time. Homeowners around Patrick AFB may hear PFAS discussed in the news and wonder whether related compounds are in their tap water. Even if your water looks clear and tastes normal, PFDoA and other PFAS can be present without odor, color, or noticeable flavor, which is why testing and targeted treatment are the next sensible steps for concerned families on the Space Coast.

PFDoA can reach water sources through industrial uses and fluorinated products, and once it’s released it can move far from its original source. Because PFAS behave differently than common problems like sediment or the hard water minerals many Brevard County homes experience, a basic particulate cartridge won’t reliably remove them. Homeowners often choose to treat water where it enters the house so everyday uses — bathing, cooking, laundry and garden spigots — are covered; a whole-house approach provides that point-of-entry protection for Patrick AFB residences.
