Nephros Launches New PFAS Filter for Point-of-Use Protection of Potable Water
SOUTH ORANGE, N.J., Oct. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nephros, Inc. (NASDAQ:NEPH), a leading water technology company providing filtration solutions to medical and commercial markets, today announced the launch of its new filter designed to reduce Total PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), in potable water. This product expands Nephros' portfolio to address a category of chemical contaminants that have drawn growing regulatory and public health attention.
PFAS, sometimes referred to as "forever chemicals," are synthetic compounds found in a wide range of consumer and industrial products. They are notable for their persistence in the environment, as well as their bioaccumulative nature and risk to human health.
"Unlike most filters that only address PFOA and PFOS, the Nephros 19-Series PFAS Filter has been independently tested to reduce Total PFAS, offering protection against a much broader spectrum of contaminants," said Robert Banks, President & CEO of Nephros. "By combining PFAS reduction with protection against lead, asbestos, and other hazards, we believe the 19-Series PFAS Filter helps set a new benchmark in support of safer, more reliable drinking water."
Key Features of the Nephros 19-Series PFAS Filter
- Independently tested to NSF Standards 42 and 53
- Validated reduction of Total PFAS, including PFOA and PFOS
- Effectively reduces other hazardous contaminants such as lead, asbestos, cysts, chlorine, taste,
and odor - 3,145-gallon capacity with a 1.63 GPM flow rate
- Provides long-term protection against persistent, health-threatening waterborne contaminants
The Nephros 19-Series PFAS filter is ideal for industries and facilities where water safety is critical, including healthcare, daycares, education, foodservice, and manufacturing.
