How much PFAS does the average water filter add to your water?

(How much PFAS do you get from plastic-bottled water / soft drinks instead of the stuff coming out of metal pipes?)

Go find out and tell us. That would be really helpful information.

You can probably review the wetted materials but fluoropolymers are more expensive and not required in consumer water filters so I would assume not much PFAS. If its some activated carbon and IEX resins then its likely not making things worse.
