Kel Tren WaterCare Educates Homeowners on PFAS Risks, Warning Signs, and Water Testing Options
Kel Tren WaterCare is raising awareness about the growing concern surrounding PFAS—commonly known as “forever chemicals”—in residential tap water. Through its latest educational resource, the company explains how PFAS enter drinking water, why they pose long-term health risks, and how homeowners can test and treat their water to reduce exposure.
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of man-made chemicals widely used in products such as firefighting foam, nonstick cookware, stain-resistant fabrics, and food packaging. Due to their chemical stability, PFAS do not break down easily in the environment and can accumulate in groundwater, municipal water supplies, and private wells.
According to Kel Tren WaterCare, one of the most concerning aspects of PFAS contamination is that it is not detectable by taste, smell, or sight. Unlike common water quality issues, PFAS-contaminated water often appears perfectly normal, making testing the only reliable way to identify the problem.
“Many homeowners assume their water is safe because it looks clear and tastes fine,” the company explains. “Unfortunately, PFAS are invisible contaminants. Without proper testing, there’s no way to know if they’re present.”
The press release highlights several scenarios where PFAS testing is especially important, including homes near industrial sites, military bases, airports, landfills, or areas where firefighting foam has historically been used. Private well owners are at particular risk, as wells are not regulated under federal drinking water standards and rely entirely on homeowner testing and maintenance.
Kel Tren WaterCare outlines available testing options, including laboratory-certified water testing that identifies specific PFAS compounds and measures concentration levels. These results help determine whether water meets current EPA health advisory limits and guide appropriate treatment recommendations.
In addition to testing, the company explains that effective treatment solutions are available. Advanced filtration technologies—such as activated carbon systems and reverse osmosis—have been proven to significantly reduce PFAS levels when properly designed and installed. Whole-home and point-of-use systems can be tailored to address household needs based on test results.
Beyond health concerns, PFAS contamination also raises long-term considerations for homeowners, including property value, resale disclosures, and evolving regulatory standards. As federal and state guidelines continue to tighten, early testing and proactive treatment can help homeowners stay ahead of potential issues.
“Clean water is essential to health and peace of mind,” Kel Tren WaterCare states. “Our goal is to give homeowners clear answers, reliable testing, and proven solutions so they can make informed decisions about their water.”
Kel Tren WaterCare provides professional water testing, PFAS analysis, and customized treatment solutions designed to protect families from emerging water contaminants. With a focus on education and long-term water quality, the company continues to help homeowners safeguard their drinking water.
Homeowners concerned about PFAS or interested in testing their tap water are encouraged to contact Kel Tren WaterCare for expert guidance and comprehensive water quality solutions.
