Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Expands Filtration Capabilities with Launch of Combined Lead and PFOA / PFOS (PFAS) Filter
Marks the first PFAS-related filter integrated into Elkay® bottle fillers and faucets
Filters out lead and PFOA / PFOS – two of the most prevalent PFAS contaminants
MILWAUKEE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#sustainablyinspired–Zurn Elkay Water Solutions Corporation (NYSE: ZWS) announced today the launch of its first combined lead-, PFOA- and PFOS-reducing filter integrated into Elkay® bottle filling stations and faucets for schools, hospitals, airports and other commercial and residential applications.
“As more is learned about the serious health effects of forever chemicals on people and as regulations evolve, we’re pleased to expand our certified filtration to PFOA and PFOS, two of the most prevalent per- and polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) chemicals,” said Todd A. Adams, Chairman and CEO of Zurn Elkay Water Solutions. “This filter offers a tremendous option for our customers looking to provide safer, cleaner drinking water for everyone in schools, universities and places where people gather.”
This new filter is certified to reduce PFOA and PFOS as well as lead, cysts, Class I particulates and chlorine taste and odor from drinking water under NSF/ANSI 42 and 53. There are additional environmental benefits as well, with each filter eliminating the use of 14,400 single-use 20-ounce plastic water bottles.
“We are thrilled to have achieved such an important milestone in adding effective and certified PFOA and PFOS filtration to our leading portfolio of filtration solutions,” said Scott Nielsen, Director of Filtration for Zurn Elkay. “We will continue to always strive to offer our customers the very best in drinking water filtration solutions.”
