Pfas and microplastic removal

PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances)—commonly known as “forever chemicals”—are a group of over 4,700 man-made compounds used in a wide range of consumer products. Due to their chemical structure, PFAS are highly resistant to breaking down in the environment and the human body, leading to long-term accumulation and potential health risks.


These substances are found in everyday items such as:


  • Nonstick cookware
  • Food packaging
  • Water-resistant clothing
  • Personal care products


Why PFAS and Microplastics Are a Concern

Scientific studies have linked PFAS exposure to:


  • Elevated cholesterol levels
  • Hormonal disruption
  • Weakened immune function
  • Increased risk of kidney and testicular cancers
  • Liver and thyroid disorders
  • Potential developmental effects in infants and children
  • Microplastics—tiny plastic particles less than 5mm in size—are also increasingly found in drinking water and pose emerging health concerns.

Whole-Home Water Filtration System FAQs

Everything You Need to Know About Microplastics & PFAS Removal

  • How effective are whole-house water filters at removing microplastics?

    Whole-house water filtration systems can be effective at removing microplastics, but performance varies depending on the system’s design and filtration technology. While many standard systems target contaminants like chlorine, sediment, and heavy metals, not all are equipped to filter microplastics, which are extremely small in size.


    At Coral Gables Plumbing, we provide detailed performance data for every system we install, so you can make an informed decision based on verified filtration capabilities.

  • Do I need a professional to install a microplastics filtration system?

    That depends on the complexity of the system and your comfort level with plumbing work. For simple point-of-use filters, a DIY installation may be feasible. However, for whole-house systems, we strongly recommend professional installation to ensure:

    • Proper integration with your home’s plumbing
    • Optimal system performance
    • Compliance with local plumbing codes

    Our team is here to help—whether you need full installation or just expert guidance.

  • What maintenance is required for whole-house microplastics filters?

    Routine maintenance is essential to keep your system operating efficiently. This typically includes:

    • Replacing filters at recommended intervals
    • Cleaning system components
    • Inspecting for leaks or pressure issues

    We offer maintenance plans and reminders to help you stay on schedule and protect your investment.

  • How much does it cost to install a whole-house microplastics filter in Miami?

    Installation costs can vary based on:

    • The type and brand of filtration system
    • Your home’s plumbing layout
    • Any additional customization or retrofitting required

    We offer free in-home consultations to assess your needs and provide a personalized quote—no obligation, no hidden fees.

  • What’s the difference between a whole-house and under-sink microplastics filter?

    The key difference lies in coverage:

    • Whole-house systems treat all water entering your home, including for bathing, laundry, and dishwashing.
    • Under-sink systems are point-of-use filters, typically installed in kitchens for drinking and cooking water only.

    Choosing the right system depends on your goals—whether you want comprehensive protection or a targeted solution.
