PFAS Removal From Your Family’s Water With One Efficient System

Water all over the country has frequently been positive for lead, cysts, and PFOA/PFOS, and our area is not exempt. These chemicals have been found to exceed the levels set forth by health advisory organizations and may cause health problems.

 Eighteen million Americans live in communities where the water systems are in violation of the law. As a mater of fact, the federal agency in charge of making sure those systems are safe not only know these issues exist, they’ve done little to stop them, according to information provided by CNN, which cites multiple sources and water experts.

Our goal is not to scare anyone into getting water treatment, however, educating our local community about water quality is a top priority. We’ve worked with many local families to improve their water and to provide peace-of-mind, knowing the water they drink and bathe in is free of harmful contaminants.

Contact us today to learn more about our professionally installed and serviced drinking water system that reduces PFOS contamination. Fill out the contact form or call (587) 813-0494!

What are PFAS, PFOA, PFOS and What’s The Difference Between Them?

In a nutshell, PFAS stands for per- and polyflouralkyl substances, which are synthetic chemicals used to make everyday products we all use (your cell phone, your non-stick pans, some food packaging, most things that used to be made at 3M are made of PFAS). PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid, also referred to as C8) and PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate) are simply two types of PFAS, and the difference between the two is the amount of carbon atoms in the chain of polyflouralkyl. GenX is also considered a PFAS contaminant.

These chemicals have been around for almost 80 years, when they started being manufactured in the 1940’s. Unfortunately, a lot of chemical waste ends up being dumped in the water supply we drink from. Imagine 80 years of chemical waste contaminating the water we use every day.  

The Water Quality Association (WQA.org) tells us exposure to PFAS can happen when we eat food grown in soil contaminated by PFAS or drink water that has been contaminated and not properly filtered out. It can also be released through the household products we use to clean our homes.

Some potential health risks of PFAS exposure are cancer, a weakened immune system, fertility issues, low birth weight for infants, abnormal levels for cholesterol and thyroid hormones, and inflammation of the liver. Other health related issues are still under research.

How Can I Know I Have Safe Drinking Water? 

If you want to know if the water in your area is affected by PFAS contamination, check out the EWG PFAS map below of known areas affected in the United States click here to see the map of known areas affected in the United States.

Holmes EcoWater also offers free water tests to homeowners in the Lethbridge area. Call (587) 813-0494 to schedule your free water test now!

PFOA and PFOS chemicals are bio-permanent, resistant to direct oxidation, and do not break down naturally in the environment or the human body. Holmes EcoWater provides a unique system, to successfully remove these chemicals and is installed where the water line enters your home or business. 

Our systems have been tested and certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 58 by NSF International, and not only removes sediments and PFAS contaminants, but also eliminates odours and and improves taste – giving you bottled quality (or better) water right at your tap.

Great service! He was efficient and professional. We really appreciated all the work that he did and how everything was cleaned up after he was done installing the water softener. Thanks for all that you did to make this an easy transition.

Holmes Ecowater responded the same day by replacing our UV system and had us back up and running by the middle of the afternoon. Richard did a fantastic job installing the unit and providing instructions on how to use it.

My kids were experiencing some itching and dryness on their skins. I was really concerned until I got the best referral. Home Ecowaters set us up perfectly. The installation process was amazing and stress less and the best part, no more itching in my home. And Ted (the rep I worked with) was just the best guy. He was courteous, so helpful and kind. Definitely recommend their services. Be sure to ask for Ted.

Ecowater excellent service- sales rep Ted it’s very knowledgeable He made an appearance in my house just to check out if the system is working properly. He performed water test and visual inspection. My wife is very happy to see that her glass water jug is clean no more particles floating in it. I will consider to buy it in next couple of months as I only have this system for a bit over the month. Highly recommend to everyone!

Holmes Ecco water really takes care of their customers, they are very knowledgeable about using transforming ordinary dugout water into house hold usages, it’s a lot more economical than hooking up to Lethbridge city water. Richard (their man in the field) is great 😊 we wish we would see him more often than once a year service. We would highly recommend them

Richard & Ty came to check why our “soft water” came out “hard”! In fact - a salt crust prevented the system from working properly! Problem readily solved by Richard - and explanation given to me. Thanks so much gentlemen! Henning Muendel

I am very impressed with Holmes Ecowater. The initial consultation with Ted went well; Michael was the installer and he did a good and neat job.We had a few issues and Richard came to sort things out, I was impressed with his knowledge and expertise. He explained the systems thoroughly and fixed our issue.We had a small problem with our water system and Ty came to fix that, once again he was a very knowledgeable employee and fixed our problem.I have had some contact with Kisha in the office and she is very helpful at getting issues fixed.All in all, Holmes Ecowater have great employees and treat their customers very well. I’m impressed.

Richard has been servicing our RO system on our acreage for a few years now and we find him to be a very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional whenever we need him! I wouldn’t want any other company to service our water system ever! The people Holmes Ecowater have a great employee who really cares about his clients! He is training Ty, a new employee who is learning all he can to follow in Richard’s footsteps. Awesome company and 2 great guys! Ken and Cheryl.

Holmes Ecowater just finished installing a new water softener and iron filter at our residence. Not only are their products superior to any other system we've had over the years, but their service is exceptional! Richard and Ty were prompt, courteous, and professional, and their installation work and cleanup beautifully done. Richard took the time to thoroughly explain the system, and we are confident that we will now have beautiful, soft, iron free water. From the initial inquiry call to the Homes Ecowater office, through to the home visit to assess existing equipment and water quality (also Richard...so competent!), to the ordering of equipment and today's installation, the Holmes Ecowater team have been stellar. Thank you Richard and Ty for your service today, you are both great ambassadors for your company!

Richard and Ty appeared this morning, as booked, to repair our water softener and change the filters on the reverse osmosis unit. I found them to be polite, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. They kept the work area neat and took some things outside to clean. Richard explained everything very well to us and gave some suggestions on salt types.The cost, which we found reasonable considering this unit is over 20 years old, was as had been quoted so no surprises.Thanks Richard and Ty.
