Michigan’s Problem with PFAS

How serious is Michigan’s problem with PFAS?

PFAS contamination has decreased in Michigan since its height in 2018, but the PFAS that were introduced are likely still around considering PFAS are known as forever chemicals – it takes a very long time for them to be removed from the ecosystem.

There are currently 245 sites in Michigan where PFAS have been detected. “According to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) more than 1.5 million residents have been drinking water contaminated with PFAS and there could be as many as 11,300 potential sites where PFAS may have been used.” This is why the EPA gave Michigan $37 million in February 2023 to address PFAS in drinking water.

Learn about Michigan’s history with PFAS on our website.

How can you ensure your home’s water is safe?

A water filter can help!

Michigan’s History with PFAS

Are you a Michigander?

Are you worried about per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in your water?

You’ve likely heard of PFAS and were told to avoid the foam that accumulates around the shore and in the dams of rivers, but how serious is Michigan’s problem with PFAS? 

The Detroit Free Press calls PFAS contamination “Michigan’s biggest environmental crisis in 40 years.” PFAS are a class of chemicals used in the manufacturing of some fabrics, cleaning products, cookware, and more. PFAS are so widespread in the environment that they can be found in the water, air, and even the blood of humans and animals. Here’s a history of PFAS contamination and news in Michigan:

2009 – Wolverine Worldwide dumped PFAS contaminated wastewater into the Rogue River.  

2016 – PFAS was found in Ann Arbor drinking water.

2017 – Michigan created the Michigan PFAS Action Response Team.

2018 – It was discovered that a Wixom-based manufacturing plant had been discharging PFAS contaminated water, which eventually entered the Huron River. A “do not eat” fish advisory was implemented.

How to Cut Down on Water Related Costs

Are you trying to conserve water?

There are small steps you can take to reduce the amount of water you use and save money! Here are some activities you can do in the shower to conserve water:

Take Shorter Showers: By reducing your shower time by just 4 minutes, you can save around 4,000 gallons a year!

Use an Efficient Shower Head: A modern shower head will run at a rate of 2.5 Gallons Per Minute (GPM), meaning you’ll use 25 gallons for a 10-minute shower. Older shower heads may have an even higher GPM, which wastes water. ProOne Water Filter shower head filters run at 2 GPM, saving you at least 5 gallons for a 10-minute shower, which adds up over time! Shop our shower head filters! 

Learn how cutting out bottled water can save you money!

Use Your Tap Water Over Bottled Water

Do you want to decrease how much you spend on water?

Start by cutting out bottled water!

“Bottled water is the fastest growing drink choice in the United States, and Americans spend billions of dollars each year to buy it” says the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Instead of buying bottled water, why not drink the water you have at home? If your water’s taste, smell, or cleanliness are a concern, purchase a water filter! ProOne Water Filters can remove over 200+ contaminants and improve the smell and taste of your water.

Be Prepared with a ProOne Water Filter Pitcher

ProOne water filters can help remove some of the potential bacteria in your water supply. The ProOne G2.0 filter can remove: 

Microbiological Contaminants (Bacteria)

• Total coliform - 99.999%
• Escherichia coli - 99.999%
• Fecal Coliform - 99.999%
• Klebsiella pneumoniae - 99.999%
• Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia (polystyrene Microsphere) - 99.999%

The ProOne/Coldstream filter can remove:

• Rotavirus - 99.7%

Filtering water can reduce the bacteria and viruses, but it shouldn’t be your only line of defense. Water filters can’t kill the contaminants that remain. The only way to kill these contaminants is to boil the water for one minute. 

It’s rare the contaminant that caused the boil water advisory is revealed to the public, so don’t take a chance. To remove as many contaminants as possible, filter your water and then boil it.

Learn more about boil water advisories on our website.

Have Quick Access to Filtered Water with Water Filter Pitchers 

What makes ProOne different from other water filter pitchers?

In traditional water filter pitchers, the filter sits in the filtered water, potentially allowing cross-contamination of your drinking water. The unique design of the ProOne Water Filter Pitcher positions the filter upright in the container, out of the filtered water, eliminating the potential for cross-contamination and ensuring the purest possible drinking water.

Don’t wait for a boil water advisory to happen in your community. Have access to filtered water with ProOne products today.
