PFAS in Your Water? Why Whole House Water Filtration in Toowoomba Is More Important Than Ever

As awareness grows around PFAS—also known as forever chemicals—many Australians are taking a closer look at what's actually in their tap water. These synthetic substances have been found in rainwater, groundwater, and household supplies across the country. The risks are real—and the solution starts at the source.


At Whole House Filtration Toowoomba, we specialise in whole house water filtration systems designed specifically for Queensland homes. We're proudly part of The Water Cooler Guys group, a trusted name in the water industry for over 19 years. Whether you're on mains or rainwater, our tailored solutions help protect your family from contaminants like PFAS.

What Are PFAS and Why Are They in Our Water?


PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) have been used since the 1940s in non-stick coatings, stain-resistant fabrics, food packaging, and firefighting foams. Because they’re incredibly stable, they don’t break down over time—earning them the nickname forever chemicals.


Unfortunately, this means PFAS persist in soil, waterways, and even the human body. In Australia, PFAS contamination is particularly tied to the use of firefighting foams at military and airport sites, but the problem is far more widespread. Water tanks, catchment areas, and even household plumbing can all be vulnerable to contamination.


PFAS Health Effects: What the Science Says


Research from the World Health Organization and US EPA shows PFAS exposure is linked to a range of long-term health problems, even at very low levels. These include:


  • Hormonal disruption

  • Impaired immune function

  • Liver and kidney damage

  • Reduced fertility and pregnancy complications

  • Certain cancers (including kidney and prostate)

  • Developmental delays in children

  • Higher cholesterol levels

One of the most widely studied PFAS compounds, PFOA, has now been officially listed as carcinogenic to humans.
