PFAS Stats - What You Should Know
different PFAS chemicals in Sydney’s drinking water, including 21 never previously recorded.
PFAS in the news - Why people are talking about it now
In the past 12 months, PFAS has been making headlines across Australia.
- The Age reported that Australian drinking water can legally contain certain PFAS compounds at levels up to 140 times higher than new limits in the United States.
- A University of NSW study detected 31 different PFAS chemicals in Sydney’s drinking water, including 21 never previously recorded.
- While these results still meet current Australian guidelines, they exceed the international benchmarks set in some countries, driving public demand for extra protection.
Put simply, the PFAS levels legally allowed in some Australian household taps are comparable to what you’d find in the water of a public swimming pool, even though we drink it every day.

Why PFAS are a growing concern in Australia
PFAS - short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances - are a large family of synthetic chemicals used for decades in firefighting foams, non-stick cookware, water-repellent clothing, food packaging, and industrial manufacturing. They’re often called “forever chemicals” because they hardly break down in the environment or the human body.
In 2025, the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines tightened PFAS limits significantly, with the NHMRC setting maximum levels for key compounds:
- PFOS: <8 ng/L
- PFOA: <200 ng/L
- PFHxS: <30 ng/L
- PFBS: <1,000 ng/L
Melbourne’s water is rigorously tested and meets these standards. Yet public concern continues to grow - especially with 39 contamination incidents reported across Victoria in the 2023–24 Drinking Water Report.
Independent historical data, such as reports by Friends of the Earth, further underscore the need for ongoing caution.

Long-term PFAS exposure has been linked to:
- Hormonal disruption
- Immune system effects
- Developmental delays in children
- Liver and kidney issues
- High cholesterol
- Increased risk of certain cancers (kidney, testicular)
While exposure levels in our drinking water are considered safe by regulators, “safe” is not the same as zero - and that’s where PureFlow comes in.

Coming Soon: PureFlow PFAS Reduction Filter
We’re preparing to launch Australia’s first residential PFAS reduction system designed for full-property coverage. This innovation will soon be available as part of our 20” PureFlow Whole Home Filtration System.
- Pending certification: Our new PFAS cartridge is currently undergoing independent testing and certification to confirm performance standards.
- Manufactured in Thailand: Produced by our trusted supplier with strict quality control measures.
- Whole-home integration: Designed specifically for full-property coverage, ensuring all incoming water is treated for PFAS reduction.
- Dual benefits: Expected to reduce PFAS levels significantly while also tackling chlorine, taste, and odour.
This specialised PFAS filter will be available as an upgrade to the PureFlow Whole Home Filtration System, ensuring the correct flow rate and contact time for optimal reduction.
Why this PFAS Filter is Different
Not all carbon filters are created equal. Most standard filters - including many whole-house carbon systems - are not designed for PFAS reduction. PFAS molecules are extremely small and chemically resistant, meaning they require specialised media and extended contact time to achieve meaningful reduction.
The PFAS filter is engineered specifically for this task, using:
- NSF-tested media designed to target PFAS compounds, not just chlorine or sediment.
- Optimised flow rate to ensure water spends enough time in contact with the filter for effective reduction.
- Whole-home integration so every tap benefits from the same level of protection.
PureFlow whole-home system advantage
When paired with the PureFlow Whole Home Filtration System, the PFAS filter becomes part of a complete water quality solution:
- WQA-certified filtration components meeting Australian standards
- Large-capacity cartridges for fewer changeouts
- Installed by licensed Melbourne plumbers with local water expertise
- Backed by a full warranty on system and installation
- Ongoing local support with friendly, professional service
Maintenance & replacement
To maintain optimal PFAS reduction, the filter should be replaced every 6–12 months, depending on water quality and usage. We provide:
- Automatic reminders when it’s time for a change
- Professional replacement service from our installation team
- Personalised advice based on your household’s water use and conditions
Because the PFAS cartridge is installed within your existing system, replacements are quick and mess-free - no need for complex servicing or downtime.

PFAS Filter FAQs
Do I really need a PFAS filter if water meets guidelines?
Regulatory limits are designed for safety, but many homeowners choose additional filtration to reduce PFAS exposure further – especially for children and those with health concerns.
How much PFAS can the filter reduce?
Testing to NSF/ANSI 53:2021 standards shows 95% or greater reduction of PFOA and PFOS at 1.5 µg/L influent.
Will filtering remove healthy minerals?
The PFAS filter targets synthetic compounds and certain unwanted chemicals, not naturally occurring beneficial minerals.
How often does it need changing?
Typically every 6–12 months, depending on water quality and household usage.
Can it be used with rainwater?
Yes, provided adequate pre-filtration is in place to remove sediment before water enters the PFAS filter.
