Whole house filtration
PFAS Water Filtration
PFAS, the “forever chemicals”, don't break down in the environment and have been found in water supplies across the country, including private wells. Galene builds whole-house systems with media chosen specifically to target PFAS, so the water you drink, cook with and bathe in is treated at the main line.
- PFAS-specialized resin stage
- Treats every tap, not just the kitchen
- Combined with carbon filtration and salt-free conditioning
What PFAS are
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are a large family of man-made chemicals used for decades in non-stick, stain-resistant and firefighting products. They persist in soil and water, which is why they're called forever chemicals.
How they reach your tap
Through contaminated source water, groundwater near industrial or military sites, and private wells that no utility monitors. A utility report describes the supply, not the water at your tap.
What a home system can do
Treatment media such as specialized resin and activated carbon are designed to capture PFAS compounds as water passes through. Performance depends on the media, the system sizing and your water, which is what the consultation establishes.
The G-Guard approach
Four stages, one install.
G-Guard is Galene's PFAS system for city-water homes. It pairs PFAS-targeting media with the filtration and scale control most homes need anyway.
Sediment pre-filter
Catches sand, rust and sediment so the treatment stages last.
Granular activated carbon
Targets chlorine taste and odor and contributes to organic contaminant reduction.
PFAS-specialized resin
Galene's NSF-approved resin technology, chosen to target PFAS compounds.
Salt-free conditioning
Scale protection for fixtures and appliances without salt.
Our promise on claims
We tell you what the system is designed to do, and show you the data behind it.
At your consultation, your Galene specialist walks through the product documentation and testing for the exact system in your estimate, explains what the in-home water analysis does and does not measure, and recommends laboratory testing where it makes sense. We don't publish reduction percentages on this page because the right number depends on your water.

PFAS questions.
Straight answers. Anything specific to your home gets answered at the consultation.
Is PFAS in my water?
Possibly. PFAS have been detected in public supplies and private wells across the U.S. Your utility's annual report is a starting point for city water; a laboratory test is the only way to know for a specific tap or well. We'll point you to the right test at your consultation.
Is a whole-house system better than an under-sink filter for PFAS?
They do different jobs. An under-sink reverse osmosis unit treats drinking and cooking water at one tap. A whole-house system treats every tap, including showers and laundry. Many homes use both.
How often is the media replaced?
It depends on the system size, your water and usage. Your estimate states the maintenance schedule for the exact system, and our service team handles media changes.
Does G-Guard also soften water?
It includes salt-free conditioning, which reduces scale without removing hardness minerals. If you want full softening, we'll look at pairing options at the consultation.
Concerned about forever chemicals?
Request an in-home consultation. We'll review your water source, explain your options and give you an on-the-spot estimate for the system installed.
