"Testing done at Kalispell’s Grandview Wells site shows that the newly installed treatment systems are effectively filtering forever chemicals.

The three systems that are serving the two wells were rented from Illinois-based water quality treatment service WaterSurplus and can treat up to 1,800 gallons a minute, according to the Kalispell Public Works Department. They have been operational for about three weeks.

Through a method called anion exchange, water passes through a positively charged resin and latches onto the negatively charged PFAS compounds. The resin inside the system has to be replaced every two to three years."
