PFAS In Dallas Tap Water: What You Need To Know
Worried about PFAS? Filter it out!
Protect Your Family With Proven Filtration Solutions
Concerns about PFAS in drinking water are rising across the country — and Dallas is no exception. These “forever chemicals” are showing up in tap water supplies throughout North Texas, prompting questions about health, safety and long-term exposure.
At SafeWave Water Treatment, we help homeowners take control of their water quality with filtration systems proven to reduce PFAS chemicals in water. If you’re worried about what’s really coming out of your tap, you’re not alone — and we’re here to help.
What Are PFAS?
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of synthetic chemicals used in products like nonstick cookware, firefighting foam and water-resistant fabrics. The problem? They don’t break down in the environment, which means they accumulate in soil, groundwater and — eventually — tap water.
Long-term PFAS exposure has been linked to:
- Hormonal disruption
- Immune system suppression
- Developmental effects in infants
- Increased risk of certain cancers
In 2023, the EPA proposed strict new limits for PFAS in drinking water, and some Dallas-area water systems reported measurable levels of these contaminants in routine testing.
How PFAS Gets Into Your Home
Even if your local water utility is working to reduce PFAS levels, the distribution system (pipes, storage tanks, etc.) may still allow trace contaminants to reach your faucet. These chemicals are colorless, odorless and tasteless — so you won’t notice them without testing.
Common signs that your household may benefit from a filtration system include:
- Living near airports, industrial sites or military bases
- Using private well water
- Relying on city water in areas with past PFAS findings
- Concern for young children, pregnant women or immunocompromised resident
How SafeWave Filters PFAS
Not all filters are created equal. Only certain types of home water filtration systems are effective at significantly reducing PFAS levels. At SafeWave, we offer:
- Reverse osmosis filtration for under-sink or whole-home use
- Granular activated carbon (GAC) filters proven to trap PFAS
- Custom multi-stage systems based on your water’s chemical profile
Our technicians begin with a water quality test and consultation to recommend the most effective solution. Whether you need a reverse osmosis water filter system in your kitchen or a whole house water filtration system, we build systems that go beyond basic filtration.
Dallas Water + PFAS: Why Local Matters
The DFW area sources water from multiple reservoirs, including Lake Lewisville and the Elm Fork Trinity River — each with its own contamination risks. Some suburbs have already flagged PFAS in routine water quality reports. That’s why SafeWave tailors every system to local conditions, not generic national averages.
We serve homeowners across Dallas, Plano, Garland, Richardson and beyond with systems that are compliant, efficient and built for Texas water.
