Protecting Your Health, One Drop at a Time

Our Story

At Ridgewood Clean Water, we are deeply committed to your health and well-being. We understand that clean, safe drinking water is not just a necessity—it's an investment in your health. Our company was founded in response to the growing concerns over PFAS/PFOS contamination in our local water systems. These harmful chemicals have been linked to long-term health risks, including cancer, and we made it our mission to combat this invisible threat by providing high-quality, reliable water filtration solutions.

Our confidence in providing top-tier solutions is bolstered by our partnership with Waterdrop Filtration, a globally trusted name in the water purification industry and a winner of the prestigious Red Dot Award for product design and innovation. Waterdrop's reverse osmosis systems, designed to remove up to 99% of harmful contaminants, including PFAS/PFOS, while maintaining a low water-to-waste ratio, are a testament to their efficiency and eco-friendliness. Our products, backed by rigorous testing, ensure top-tier performance and reliability. 

At Ridgewood Clean Water, we're not just providing filtration solutions; we're delivering peace of mind—knowing that you and your loved ones have access to the safest, highest-quality water possible.

How Can PFAS Affect my Health?

Most of what is known about PFAS-related health effects comes from studies of humans and animals exposed to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS). PFOA and PFOS are no longer produced in the U.S. but continue to be detected in human blood. Newer PFAS that remain in production have also been detected in human blood. Exposure to high levels of PFAS in contaminated drinking water may result in the following health effects:

  • Increased cholesterol levels

  • Changes in liver enzymes

  • Hormone disruption and increased risk for thyroid disease

  • Decreased odds of women becoming pregnant

  • High blood pressure or pre-eclampsia during pregnancy

  • Small decreases in infant birth weights

  • Decreased vaccine response in children

  • Increased risk of kidney or testicular cancers

A blood test can determine if you have been exposed to PFAS, but these tests cannot tell how much PFAS you have been exposed to or if adverse health effects will occur. If you have health concerns about exposure to PFAS in your drinking water, consult your doctor.

At Ridgewood Clean Water, we specialize in under-the-sink, tankless reverse osmosis filters. Our carefully selected systems offer efficient filtration, reduce water waste, and save space—delivering pure, fresh drinking water directly to your home without the bulk of traditional tanks.
