The cheapest fix? Activated carbon filters. They look like Brita pitchers, but they’re the sassy bouncers of the water world—they grab PFAS molecules and toss them out before they sneak past. But here’s the catch: you need granular activated carbon, not just any old charcoal brick.
Your standard fridge filter is like bringing a water pistol to a dragon fight. Look for filters certified by NSF/ANSI Standard 53 for PFAS removal. If the box doesn’t brag about it, assume it’s just fancy tap water in a plastic jug.
