What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a PFAS and Contaminant Reduction System?
A PFAS and contaminant reduction system is a whole-house filtration setup that uses:
Specialty media (such as advanced carbon or other sorbents) designed for PFAS and select contaminant reduction, and
Pre-filtration stages (like sediment and standard carbon) to protect and support the PFAS media,
Installed on the main water line, it’s designed so that water entering the home passes through dedicated stages before it reaches interior fixtures.
Key points:
It focuses on PFAS and related contaminants identified in testing and manufacturer specs.
It is often part of a multi-layer plan that can include whole-house treatment + under-sink RO at key taps.
It does not automatically treat every possible contaminant; it must be selected and maintained based on clear objectives and certifications.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Test- and data-aware: We base system recommendations on water data and product certifications, not guesswork.
Plumbing + treatment focus: We look at pipe materials, flow, and usage to design systems that actually fit your home.
Whole-house and point-of-use options: We can combine whole-house PFAS reduction with RO or other systems at key taps.
Clean, code-compliant installs: Proper bypass valves, supports, drains (if needed), and service access, all installed by licensed plumbers.
Plain-language explanations: We explain what the system is designed to address, what it doesn’t, and how it fits into a bigger safety strategy.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
If you haven’t yet, consider lab-based testing or review local water quality reports for PFAS and key contaminants.
Gather any existing test results or notices you already have from your utility, inspector, or lab.
Decide whether you want whole-house reduction, drinking-only treatment, or a combination of both.
Note any existing equipment—softeners, carbon filters, RO systems—already installed.
Take a few photos of the main water line and water heater area so we can see space and layout.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and ask about PFAS and contaminant reduction system installation; share what’s in your water reports, your home size, and your main concerns.
Common Situations Where PFAS & Contaminant Reduction Makes Sense
Whole-house PFAS and contaminant reduction is worth considering when:
You’ve seen PFAS or related contaminants listed in your local reports or private lab tests.
You want system-level treatment instead of relying only on pitchers or small faucet filters.
You’re planning to stay in your home long term and want a more robust water treatment strategy.
You want an added layer of protection for kids, pregnant family members, or sensitive individuals, guided by data.
You’re already adding or upgrading whole-house filtration and want to include PFAS-focused stages.
(Decisions involving PFAS and contaminants should always take into account regulations, health guidance, and qualified testing. We handle the plumbing and treatment hardware side.)
Water Data & Plumbing Evaluation
We review your water test results, reports, and plumbing layout, including main line access, pipe materials, and existing treatment equipment, to understand your situation and goals.
Treatment Strategy & System Design
Based on your data and objectives, we recommend a PFAS-capable, contaminant-focused system—often multi-stage—with appropriate pre-filtration and flow design, and explain the certifications and limitations of the chosen approach.
Plumbing Tie-In & Bypass Assembly
We shut off the water, tie into the main cold-water line, and install a bypass/isolation valve setup so your system can be serviced or bypassed without shutting down the entire house.
System Installation & Staging
We mount or position filter housings or media tanks, connect inlet, outlet, and (if needed) drain lines, and ensure each stage is in the correct order (sediment, carbon, PFAS media, etc.), with room for future service.
Startup, Flushing & Functional Verification
We flush new media and cartridges according to manufacturer guidance, check for proper flow and pressure, and verify leak-free operation and correct flow direction through all stages.
Homeowner Walkthrough, Testing Plan & Maintenance Guidance
We explain what each stage does, how to bypass or isolate the system, how often to service or replace media, and discuss ongoing water testing to help verify performance over time.
What’s Included
Costs and timelines depend on:
System complexity: Basic PFAS-focused cartridge system vs larger, multi-tank media setups.
Water conditions and goals: How many stages you need and whether you’re also adding softening, RO, or UV.
Location and access: Open garage or side-yard setups vs tight, complex mechanical spaces.
Additional treatment: Whether you want under-sink RO at the kitchen as a second layer for drinking.
We’ll provide a clear, written estimate outlining equipment, labor, optional add-ons, and expected installation timing, so you can decide with full information.

Insurance & Claims Help
PFAS and contaminant reduction systems are planned upgrades and typically not covered directly by insurance, but like all plumbing equipment, they tie into your water system and building.
If there’s ever a water-related issue or leak, we can:
Identify and document which plumbing component or connection was involved.
Provide itemized invoices and estimates for any repairs or upgrades you approve.
Answer plumbing-related questions from your adjuster, property manager, or restoration contractor if a claim is opened.
Your insurance company and policy always decide coverage; we provide clear, factual plumbing documentation to support that process.
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
PFAS and contaminant reduction systems are powerful tools, but:
They must be selected based on proper testing and certified performance claims; not every filter addresses every PFAS or contaminant.
They don’t automatically replace other treatment—you may still want softening, sediment filtration, UV, or RO, depending on your situation.
Cartridges and media must be replaced on schedule; exhausted media won’t provide the same reduction.
For drinking water, point-of-use systems (like RO) are often recommended in addition to whole-house treatment for an extra layer of protection.
This is not a substitute for health, legal, or regulatory advice; it’s one part of a plumbing-based mitigation strategy informed by your water data.
We’ll be direct about what your system is designed to address, and when additional testing or treatment layers are wise.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Code-compliant plumbing work: All installations follow Nevada plumbing code and manufacturer guidance.
Appropriate, certified technologies: We recommend systems that use media and cartridges designed and tested for PFAS/contaminant reduction, where applicable.
Service-friendly layouts: Systems are installed with good access for cartridge/media changes, clear labeling, and practical bypass operation.
Transparent communication: We explain how the system fits into your overall water plan, and how to keep it performing as intended.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need water testing before installing a PFAS system?
It’s strongly recommended. Testing helps confirm whether PFAS or other contaminants are present and at what levels, so your system can be properly selected, sized, and maintained.
Will this remove all PFAS from my water?
Systems are designed to help reduce PFAS and specific contaminants based on certified performance claims. No system can promise “zero” under all conditions; proper design, maintenance, and follow-up testing are essential.
Is whole-house PFAS reduction enough by itself?
Many homeowners combine whole-house treatment with RO at key taps for an additional layer of protection for drinking and cooking water.
Will this affect water taste or pressure?
When properly designed and maintained, most people notice improved taste and clarity. Systems are sized to maintain comfortable flow and pressure, but neglected filters/media can affect performance over time.
How often do filters or media need to be changed?
It depends on system type, water quality, and usage. We’ll provide a recommended schedule and can assist with ongoing maintenance if you’d like.
