PFAS in Dallas Water: What Are Forever Chemicals and How Can You Protect Your Family?

July 2, 2025

You may have heard about “forever chemicals” in the news, but what does that mean for your home? PFAS — short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — are synthetic chemicals that don’t break down naturally and can accumulate in our bodies over time. Recent studies have found these chemicals in drinking water systems nationwide, including right here in North Texas, at 95,000% higher than HGL (health guideline) standards.

Exposure to PFAS has been linked to health issues ranging from hormonal disruption to increased cancer risk. And while city water treatment plants do their best, traditional processes often don’t remove PFAS completely.

So what can you do?

The best defense is installing a certified filtration system that targets PFAS. Reverse osmosis and certain advanced carbon filters have proven effective at dramatically reducing these contaminants. At Dallas Water Doctor, we specialize in systems tested for PFAS removal, giving your family peace of mind every time you turn on the tap.
