PFAS are man-made chemicals that have turned up in private wells across New England, sometimes far from any obvious source. For a Brunswick home, filtration is the practical response once a lab test shows PFAS in the water.
PFAS Water Filtration for Brunswick homes
Neighborhoods on public water sit next to others on private wells, so one street can have very different water situations. Drilled wells in rock can bring arsenic, uranium and radon, and a lab test is the only way to know which apply to a given lot.
Older houses near town may still run on shallow wells, while newer homes on the outskirts are typically on deeper drilled wells. Seasonal and coastal homes may sit idle for months, which makes spring restart tests and system checks a regular chore.
What we see in Cumberland County wells
PFAS can travel through sandy coastal soils into shallow groundwater, and they have also been found in rock wells. Around Brunswick and the Casco Bay side of Midcoast, we encourage a test on both older shallow wells and deeper drilled ones in Brunswick rather than guessing from the neighborhood.
What to test first in Brunswick
- A repeat sample if the first result is borderline
- pH and hardness, which affect how media behaves
- A sediment check, so a prefilter can protect the media
How it works
How we handle PFAS water filtration, step by step
- 1
Collect a PFAS sample
PFAS are everywhere in consumer products, so sampling has its own rules: clean gloves, supplied bottles and no waterproof gear touching the sample. We follow the lab's instructions closely.
- 2
Pick the media
Your lab report tells us the compounds present. Some are removed well by carbon; others do better on resin. We recommend the bed that suits your water and your budget in Cumberland County.
- 3
Install and sample
We mount the tanks, connect supply and drain, flush the media and start the system. Sample ports are included so that a treated water sample can be pulled without taking anything apart.
- 4
Retest and replace media
A treated sample proves the design works, and follow-up tests catch the point where the media is tiring. We set a retest schedule and plan replacement before PFAS can break through.
What shapes the job in Brunswick
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 Brunswick well depends on which PFAS are present and at what level.
When to think about PFAS
- A home near a former industrial site or fire training area
- A household with young children or a pregnancy
- An existing carbon filter whose performance is unknown
- A treatment system that was never verified
Curious whether PFAS is a question for your Brunswick well? A single test settles it, and we can explain how to collect the sample.
