PFAS do not break down easily, and standard filters do not reliably remove them. For a York County well that tests positive, we use media selected for these compounds and retest to make sure it keeps working.
PFAS Water Filtration for Arundel homes
Public water is limited, so private wells are the norm for most houses in town. Bedrock under much of the town means newer wells are drilled into rock, with flow coming from cracks that vary from lot to lot.
Iron and manganese staining, hard water and sulfur smell are the usual complaints, with radon and arsenic as the health questions. A buyer should ask for the well depth, the pump age and the last bacteria, arsenic and radon results before closing.
What we see in York County wells
In inland York County, PFAS awareness has grown as more private wells have been sampled. Contamination can follow a particular source or turn up with no clear one, which is why every well near Arundel's rural roads between the Kennebunk and Saco areas is best judged by its own lab result.
What to test first in Arundel
- A treated-water sample after the system starts
- Arsenic, uranium and radon, the usual bedrock tests
- Iron and manganese, which can foul carbon beds
How it works
How we handle PFAS water filtration, step by step
- 1
Collect a PFAS sample
We collect from an untreated tap, keep the bottles clean and ship to a laboratory that can report PFAS at low levels. The result tells us which compounds and how much.
- 2
Pick the media
Based on the report we choose between carbon, ion exchange or a combination. The result, flow rate and household use all affect the decision, and we explain the trade-offs.
- 3
Install and sample
The system goes on the main line after the pressure tank, with sample taps before and after the media. Backwash and bypass arrangements are set up according to the design.
- 4
Retest and replace media
You will know when to retest, when media replacement is due and who to call in York County when a result needs a second look.
What shapes the job in Arundel
Granular activated carbon and ion exchange resin are the two most common approaches for whole-house PFAS treatment. Each has strengths, and the best fit for your Arundel well depends on which PFAS are present and at what level.
When to think about PFAS
- A well that has never been tested for PFAS
- News of PFAS in the water of a nearby town
- A test showing PFAS above a state guideline
- Media that is past its replacement date
Curious whether PFAS is a question for your Arundel well? A single test settles it, and we can explain how to collect the sample.
