The system is an ion exchange resin process that filters perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) out of the water supply thus allowing 200,000 gallons of water a day to be added to the base water supply.

Protecting our people protects our mission

At every base, Airmen have access to a SAPR office staffed by professionals to address the needs of victims. (U.S. Air Force Graphic by Josh Mahler)
