A water filter on the fridge wouldn’t do anything if the well was contaminated with PFOA/PFAS.

yes I know, the well water at our home was tested in late 2020 for PFAS and was negative. There is a PFAS sampling map for around the contaminated area. Ours was not tested by the state, but you can get a test yourself (it’s expensive, and takes a long time). Furthermore, none of the houses closest to us that were tested by the state for PFAS were contaminated.

I’m not saying things can’t change, water flows but I also don’t trust bottled water, it sits in plastic and not actually that well regulated (including PFAS). Plus its wasteful. you do you, but unfortunately with the way things are, there isn’t a perfect solution.
