Is PFAS in Your Tap Water?

Culligan of Charlotte’s Whole-Home & RO is tested & certified to NSF/ANSI 53 to reduce Total PFAS, all 7 compounds in the standard, in Charlotte Area’s water.

What is PFAS?

PFAS are essentially undetectable to human senses. No color, no smell, no taste — nothing that changes on the day they show up, and nothing that changes on the day they don’t. Your water looks exactly the same either way.

That’s not a small group of chemicals, either. “PFAS” refers to a family of nearly 15,000 compounds.

And they’re widespread: USGS research found at least 45% of American tap water contains one or more types of PFAS.

Because Fridge, Pitcher, & Faucet Filters Are Not Enough for PFAS...

And the Usual Fixes Don’t Settle It:

  • Boiling. It works for certain germs and toxins, but not for these. PFAS resist heat by design, that’s what they were built to do. Boiling doesn’t remove them, and as water evaporates they can actually become more concentrated. You can end up working against yourself.
  • Bottled water. Studies have found PFAS in bottled water too. Many bottlers draw from the same surface and groundwater sources as the public system.
  • The pitcher in your fridge. Most pitcher, refrigerator, and faucet filters aren’t certified for PFAS reduction. Many use lower-grade carbon media designed for taste and odor, not for forever chemicals. If yours isn’t certified for PFAS, you don’t know whether it’s doing anything about them.
  • A water softener. Softeners are built to reduce hardness minerals. They aren’t effective against PFAS or other chemical contaminants. A softener is the right tool for a different job.

Excellent customer service. Rob was on time very personable. Excellent representative for Culligan. Thank you. Bill
Quick, professional and wonderful customer service! Thanks Marcus!
I love dealing with Culligan’s as they are one of the best that I’ve ever run across. We love how they make sure our water is clean, service is always phenomenal and staff is always willing to help. We have been dealing with Jack for over two years, who comes in makes sure that our water is fine, and runs tests and makes us feel a heck of a lot more comfortable. I would strongly recommend this company and Jack.
Exceptional service we have a small problemJack come to fix issues good service response fast I'm recommend this company
Chris was absolutely amazing from the moment we spoke. He was kind, courteous, and professional, and despite making the long drive from Charlotte to Greensboro, he still arrived with a wonderful smile and a genuinely charming personality. Hayley, congratulations—you have a wonderful husband and definitely a great catch!I had scheduled the pickup of our in-home water filtration system months in advance because I knew our family had received new orders relocating us to another country. There was initially an attempt to reschedule the pickup, but once the team understood the seriousness and timing of our situation, they honored the original appointment. I am extremely grateful for that.A huge thank-you to Culligan of Charlotte and the entire team. You all have been wonderful to us since taking over our area. We originally had service through the Greensboro location, and when they went out of business, Charlotte stepped in and took on the responsibility of servicing customers in our area. That extra effort has absolutely not gone unnoticed.We truly appreciate Chris, Hayley, and everyone at Culligan of Charlotte for taking such great care of our family. Thank you for your kindness, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile.God bless you all and your families. ❤️
The tech was prompt, courteous, and very knowledgeable. Definitely a keeper for the company. He explained the app very well and made it very easy for us to work it. Love Culligan Water!
Jack was great to work with and did a great job!
The service tech (Jack) was so well mannered and professional. He was kind and detailed showing bus all our options and price points. We are happy to highly recommend their services!
Super reliable and great customer service. Thanks for keeping the water clean!
Clay arrived on time and completed the install quickly. We love our new RO system and are satisfied with the whole experience.
We had a whole house filtration system installed by Culligan and are amazed how it has cleared our water up. We are on a community well and have always had issues with our water until Culligan installed their system. Thank Matt for the job you and your people have done! Especially Chris the Installer as he did a great job.
Brandon was great! Knowledgeable and friendly and didn't oversell us!
We had Marcus with Culligan come out for an initial visit to a house we recently purchased on Saturday. The house already had a whole-house Culligan water filtration system installed by the previous owner.My wife and I were not familiar with how to properly operate and maintain a water filtration system, so I contacted Culligan to have someone come out and educate us on the system and its proper maintenance.While scheduling the appointment, I was informed that the recommended annual service had last been completed in September 2025. I asked that the annual service also be completed during this visit, which included replacing the carbon filter.We had plenty of questions while Marcus was onsite regarding the operation and maintenance of the system, as well as recommended upgrades and additions. Marcus was very knowledgeable, helpful, and patient in answering all of our questions and providing pricing for the options we discussed.If this first visit is any indication of what we can expect from future service engagements, I would highly recommend Culligan for any of your water filtration needs!
Marcus was amazing! This is my second interaction with him and he went above and beyond to make sure I fully understood every part of my system and how it works. He was patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process.Kudos to you for having such a great employee on your team! Marcus is definitely an asset.
Great service. On time and professional.
Rob was so quick to service our systems and really appreciate his knowledge and professionalism.
Easy to work with. Straight forward with assessment and subsequent needs. Didn’t try to oversell. Would recommend.
Great service from Jack Terell and best tasting water ever! Would highly recommend.
Rob was great. Showed up on time took care of business and answered all questions. He knew what he was doing and was very competent
Good service and happyvwith my unit.
Matt was very easy to work with. He listened to my situation. He educated me on the new features with water softeners and provided his recommendations.
Brandon was great throw and answered all my questions. I look forward to working with him again.
Our technician Brandon Yerkes was a total professional. Polite, knowledgeable, and a real asset for Culligan. While servicing our RO filter system, he also took the initiative (in a low key way) to talk about a whole house water system. You could tell he loved his work and was a great employee.
As always on time on target
Jack came this week for my 6 months servicing. He was courteous, patient, knowledgeable and answered all my questions. All necessary services were done. And, he was great with my dogs!Ty and the Culligan team have been great. They are very responsive and always professional!Rob came today to address a concern in the crawlspace. He was here within a few hours of my call and took care of the problem! Friendly, professional, and efficient. Thank you!Brandon was terrific today. He came on time, took care of the filter, added salt and checked the system when finished. A very efficient visit!
Very personable and knowledgeable technician. Tested our water and communicated the results.
I hate when they ask for a review before you know if the product works well!!! But YES, the employee named Logan was very polite & informative. I was surprised to see that he was the only one (for what I expected to be a 2 man job)! He had a good attitude & was familiar with the mountain area. Even told me that Culligan was expanding this way to Hickory. I am very much looking forward to iron/rust free water! So stay tuned. But, so far , so good:)THIS WAS AN OLD REVIEW….Happy to say that my recent “Culligan Man” was great!!!Funny, as i remember the old TV commercials about calling you Culligan Man as they would show hom sitting thete, waiting for a call… WELL, guess what? Here i thought i needed service BUT all was good! He did teach me how to set the timeAND told me then what tome it would ho into automatic regeneration. Also, how to close it off ( drain half tank) and prepare the house gor winter! Brandon was his name, told me to call and they eould save me the service call by walking me through step by step. Good and Patient guy!
Been a customer for five years. Love this company. Rob the technician was fantastic and kept me well informed
Have used and appreciated over 10 years or more. Love your Rob, competent and professional!!
On time, friendly, respectful and efficient.
The communication was great and Brandon our service tech today was so amazing thorough explaining everything he was doing and why. We could not be more pleased with our Culligan equipment and their support
My technician Marcus Dwaileebe from Culligan of Charlotte was courteous, informative, and efficient during his visit. He provided a thorough overview of what I was to expect during his visit and even an estimated cost of what the service would be. It was great to meet him and hope he’s my same technician going forward.
Brandon was very efficient and knowledgable young man. He was so good at answering my many questions. We are very pleased with our experience. We would recommend Culligan and Brandon to anyone who has water issues!!!
Prompt arrival, knowledgeable and helpful. Above all, honest about what he thought was best for our family and home, and that’s very much appreciated.
I recently had my recommended yearly check up completed by Culligan of Charlotte and my tech, Brandon Y. was awesome! It was pouring rain and he took great care in making sure to not track mud inside. He answered all of my questions and showed me what I needed to do to keep my water softener system preforming at it's best. I had my system installed about 2 years ago. I have had no issues with it and it works great! I have well water and before I had it installed my black faucets and shower heads always looked dirty because of white residue spots but now they stay nice and clean.
Everyone at Culligan of Charlotte were absolutely great to work with. From their Sales person, technician to their CEO they demonstrated their highest level of customer support and work on providing the perfect solution. We couldn't be more pleased!!
Brandon recently did our annual filter install and maintenance. He was very professional, timely, knowledgeable, and friendly. Thanks to Culligan and their team who provide helpful reminders and great service.
Great prices, and great service. That’s all you can ask for, and Matt Surratt and the team at culligan provide exactly that

What "Total PFAS" actually covers

NSF/ANSI Standard 53 tests systems against seven PFAS compounds: PFBS, PFDA, PFHpA, PFHxS, PFNA, PFOA and PFOS. An independent lab challenges the system with a known concentration, measures what comes through, and the manufacturer is retested on an ongoing basis to keep the listing.

Not all reverse osmosis systems are certified for PFAS. Look for certification to NSF/ANSI 53 for Total PFAS reduction from NSF International, the Water Quality Association, or IAPMO.
