• Serving all of San Diego County •
PFAS — per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances — are synthetic chemicals detected in San Diego’s water supply, particularly in areas near military installations. They do not break down in the environment or in the body. Reverse osmosis removes up to 99% of PFAS. Here is what San Diego homeowners need to know.
• Why San Diego Specifically •
PFAS have been detected near Camp Pendleton, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, and other military sites in San Diego County, where fire-fighting foam was historically used in training.
Southern California has one of the highest concentrations of PFAS
detections in the nation, with over 200 water systems showing measurable levels at some point in the past decade.
San Diego’s municipal water meets current legal standards — but legal and ideal are not the same number, particularly for PFAS where regulatory limits are still being established.
• Other Toxins •
PFAS get the headlines, but they aren’t the only contaminants worth understanding in San Diego’s water.
Detected in San Diego water — roughly 18x above levels many researchers consider safe. The EPA does not currently regulate chromium-6 specifically.
Not all filtration is equal. Here’s an honest comparison.
Oceanside, Carlsbad, Poway, and areas near MCAS Miramar and Camp Pendleton have received the most attention from regulators regarding PFAS.
