What are the features of the point-of-use (POU) filters that Wolverine is providing?

Wolverine selected the Aquasana AQ-5300+ POU filter, which is certified by NSF International to remove PFOA and PFOS.
The POU filters install under the kitchen sink and may also be connected to the water supply line of a kitchen refrigerator.
The POU filters are simple to operate, and Wolverine has successfully installed over 150 of them in area homes.
The State has offered similar POU filters at other locations across the State.
More information about the Aquasana AQ-5300+ filter can be found here and here.

WE ARE WOLVERINE

Rockford is our home and we’ve always acted responsibly and taken our obligations as part of this community personally.

In 1998, 3M began discussions on their formula change with its customers because PFOA and PFOS – two of the PFAS family of compounds – were “persistent in the environment.” We relied on 3M’s representations to the EPA, FDA, scientific bodies, and Wolverine regarding the safety of the Scotchgard™ formula.

We’ve been working with MDEQ since November 2016, when we became aware of the possible presence of PFAS in groundwater at our former Tannery location. We continue to work with the state to identify and test possible sites, and we’re close to completing that process. Every resident whose water is being tested has a water solution until they have answers. While the science is not conclusive, we’re working proactively to develop solutions, share information with you, and restore our community’s confidence in its drinking water. Much more information is available here on our WeAreWolverine.com blog.
