PFCs are highly toxic fluorinated chemicals that have been linked to cancer, thyroid disease, weakened immune systems and other health problems.
New research done by Environmental Working Group and Northeastern University in Boston have found PFC pollution in tap water supplies across America.

IF YOU HAVE PFCs IN YOUR WATER…
According to the American Water Works Association (a non-profit, scientific educational association established in 1881), activated carbon is very effective at removing over 90% of PFCs from the water supply.
Most water filters employ just 1 type of regular activated carbon, however, PureEffect Advanced Filtration Systems water filters (the filters I have been using and recommending for more than five years) have 3 different types of the Advanced Catalytic Activated Carbon in each of their 2, 3 and 4 chamber countertop/undercounter filter systems. This results in a superior range, capacity and thoroughness for PFC and other chemical removal.
