From time to time we get emails with some really great information we not only appreciate getting ourselves, but we feel is just important to share with you too! This is one of them!
The Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Removal Rebate Program for Private Wells will provide a one-time rebate to private well users for up to $5,000 for the installation of PFAS treatment (point-of-use or point-of-entry) or up to $10,000 for a service connection to a public water system. This is on a first come first serve basis.
Note: Treatment installations completed after September 30, 2019, are eligible for this program. Eligibility must be determined through the application process and approval from NHDES to receive a rebate.
The following entities are eligible to apply for the rebate program:
- Owners of a single or multiple-unit residential property.
- Tenants/occupants of a residential property where the owner of the property has not applied for the rebate for the same property.
Applicants must be able to provide documentation of a PFAS exceedance with no offer of an alternate water source (bottled water, treatment, or service connection) from a third party. An exceedance is a PFAS result greater than one or more of NHDES’ Ambient Groundwater Quality Standards (AGQS).
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance | Ambient Groundwater Quality Standard (nanograms/liter (or part per trillion, ppt)) |
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) | 12 |
Perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) | 15 |
Perfluorohexane sulfonic acid (PFHxS) | 18 |
Perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) | 11 |
Our drinking water systems and whole-house treatment systems have come back with non-detectable PFOA and other related contaminants. Contact us today to set up testing or discuss your options.
K5 Drinking Water System
The K5 is our most advanced reverse osmosis system ever. It is our first line of defense against PFAS. Certified to remove more contaminants than any other system, it can produce more than 40 gallons of water a day (nearly three times the industry average,) and deliver it with better pressure and volume than any other residential RO system, without needing an additional pump.
Whole House Water System
PFOA & PFOS can be removed using high quality granular activated carbon configured in a filter sized specifically for your water and your home. The Secondwind adsorber comes with a pre-filter, and is available in many sizes. We will be sure to configure the size that is correct for your home depending upon the level of PFAS and the amount of water being treated.
