PFAS do not break down easily, and standard filters do not reliably remove them. For a Oxford County well that tests positive, we use media selected for these compounds and retest to make sure it keeps working.
PFAS Water Filtration for Norway homes
Norway sits in the Oxford Hills of western Maine, a town of lakes, village streets and wooded hillsides. Wells in the hills are mostly drilled into bedrock, and the water they produce is often soft and slightly acidic.
South Paris and Paris are right next door, and Oxford and Waterford are a short drive away, so crews cover the whole area together. A well that handled one family for decades may struggle after an addition, a new bathroom or a change in how the house is used.
What we see in Oxford County wells
Hill-country wells are not exempt from PFAS, since the compounds can travel through air and water. Even in a quiet part of Norway, a test is the way to learn whether the well needs treatment or whether it can be crossed off the list.
What to test first in Norway
- A PFAS panel from a laboratory with low reporting limits
- Bacteria and nitrate, a baseline for any private well
- 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
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
Installation in a Norway basement is neat and serviceable, with shut-offs, a bypass and labeled valves. After startup, we check pressure and flow before leaving.
- 4
Retest and replace media
Retesting is the heart of PFAS treatment. We schedule a check after startup and regular samples after that, because performance is only known when it is measured.
What shapes the job in Norway
Contact time is critical. A bed that is too small lets contaminants through, so tanks are sized for your peak flow and for enough time in the media. We design for the demand in your house, not a generic number.
When to think about PFAS
- A neighbor or nearby well with a positive PFAS result
- News of PFAS in the water of a nearby town
- An existing carbon filter whose performance is unknown
- A rise in a repeat result
Curious whether PFAS is a question for your Norway well? A single test settles it, and we can explain how to collect the sample.
