Invisible Contaminants in Your Water? PFAS, Lead & Nitrates Explained

You can’t see PFAS. You won’t taste lead. But these and other contaminants may be in the glass you drink every day. At Clear Water, we help homeowners uncover what’s lurking in their water — and install powerful filtration systems to remove it at the source.

Contaminants Aren’t Always Visible — But They’re There

Just because your water looks clear doesn’t mean it’s clean. Harmful contaminants like PFAS, lead, and nitrates can exist in “safe” tap or well water—posing risks to your family’s health. At Clear Water, we use advanced testing and filtration to detect and remove invisible toxins before they can do harm.


Whether you're relying on a private well or municipal supply, our team will assess your water quality and recommend the right system to protect your home and health.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Contaminants

What are PFAS and why are they dangerous?

PFAS, often called “forever chemicals,” are synthetic compounds found in many household products. They don’t break down easily and can accumulate in your body over time. Long-term exposure has been linked to cancer, liver damage, and immune system issues.

No. Lead, nitrates, and many other contaminants are invisible, odorless, and tasteless. The only way to know for sure is to have your water professionally tested.

Most wells used for domestic/in house use require filtration. The EPA recommends testing well water at least once a year as conditions can change. We will recommend filtration based on your water test results.

We use multi-stage filtration systems that may include activated carbon, reverse osmosis, and ion exchange depending on what’s in your water. Each setup is customized based on your test results.

We recommend testing at least once a year, especially if you use a private well. Testing should also be done if you notice changes in taste, smell, or color—or after local contamination reports.
