LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Water purification brand Waterdrop Filter announced the official launch of its PFAS Protection Initiative in February. The initiative aims to help households worldwide better understand and address health risks posed by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water through public education and practical, household-level water solutions.
In May 2025, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established the first national drinking water standards for PFAS under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), with public water systems gradually working toward full compliance. The finalized National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR) set the maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for two widely used and high-risk PFAS compounds—perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS)—at 4.0 parts per trillion (ppt), while the health-based maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs) were set at 0 ppt. These limits aim to reduce the exposure of tens of millions of Americans to PFAS and lower the risk of potential health effects from long-term exposure, including cancer, liver damage, and weakened immune function.However, under the current regulatory timeline, it will take public water systems several years to complete monitoring and necessary infrastructure upgrades, and variations in regional infrastructure mean that water quality may still vary widely across areas. Against this backdrop, Waterdrop Filter believes that protecting against PFAS-related health risks cannot depend solely on public water systems; it must also be addressed as a long-term, science-based priority within every household.
As part of this initiative, Waterdrop Filter will collaborate with health, environmental, and consumer-facing media to share science-based and accessible information on PFAS, as well as guidance on reducing the associated health risks. From a technical standpoint, Waterdrop Filter employs reverse osmosis (RO) technology to provide households worldwide with a reliable option for reducing PFAS in drinking water. According to research by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), RO technology is widely recognized as one of the most effective ways for households to reduce PFAS in their drinking water. Waterdrop Filter's under-sink RO system can reduce detectable levels of PFOS and PFOA in water by up to 98%. This household-level filtration approach offers a practical, ready-to-use option to help reduce PFAS levels toward the EPA's health-based goal, without the need for major renovations.
Waterdrop Filter recommends customized drinking water solutions to reduce PFAS, tailored to different household types and life stages:
- Waterdrop Filter G3P800 RO System: This system can reduce PFOA by up to 98% and PFOS by up to 99%, and holds NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 certifications. It is specifically designed for households with heightened sensitivity, including families with infants, pregnant women, or elderly members. Its tankless design delivers a continuous supply of fresh, on-demand drinking water, providing peace of mind and consistent protection to the family members who need it most.
- Waterdrop Filter X16 RO System: With an ultra-high flow rate of 1,600 gallons per day, this system can reduce PFOA by 98.88% and PFOS by 98.97%. It easily meets the daily water needs of multi-member households for cooking, cleaning, and other household uses, helping every family member reduce exposure to the health risks of PFAS.
- Waterdrop Filter DLG-P: Despite its compact and versatile design, testing shows this system effectively reduces PFOA 99.7% and PFOS 99.6%. Its simple installation and small footprint make it well suited for renters who prioritize PFAS protection, as well as individuals with fast-paced lifestyles.
The 2026 PFAS Protection Initiative is an initial step in a longer-term effort. Looking ahead, Waterdrop Filter will continue to invest in filtration technology and product development, providing long-term, efficient, and user-friendly solutions to reduce PFAS in drinking water. In doing so, it aims to help make safe and healthy drinking water more accessible to households everywhere.Learn more from waterdropfilter.com and Amazon Store

Waterdrop Filter Launches Initiative Focused on Household Awareness and Mitigation of PFAS in Drinking Water
Trader Follows 2024 Record With 252% Gain; Plans Broader Investor Education Push
NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Law Wai-Sum, a Hong Kong trader known as J Law, is expanding his investment education business, JLawStock, to the International market after posting a record 1,499% cumulative return over two years in the top division of the United States Investing Championship.
Law followed a 353.9% gain in 2024 with a 252.3% return in 2025, securing first place in the division for a second consecutive year. Over the same two-year period, the S&P 500 advanced about 47%, based on data published by the competition.
Founded in 1983, the annual championship tracks verified real-money accounts across multiple categories and publishes audited performance rankings. Organizers said 579 participants entered the 2025 event. Law competed in the Money Manager Verified Ratings division, which requires a minimum starting balance of $1 million.
In an interview, Law attributed the results to disciplined execution.
"Most people focus on finding a magic strategy," he said. "What makes performance repeatable is a process that reduces costly mistakes and puts risk control first."
Law said individual investors can improve results by adhering to three principles: reducing trade frequency to reduce execution mistakes and transaction costs; adapting established frameworks to personal constraints such as time availability and risk tolerance; and adjusting tactics as market conditions evolve.
"A strategy that performs in one environment may underperform in another," he said.
Law, who trades U.S. markets from Asia, also said time differences are not the primary challenge.
"Time zones aren't the real issue — emotional trading is," he said. "Success depends on preparation and identifying favorable risk-reward setups before the opening bell."
Following the competition, Law said he plans to expand his investor education business, JLawStock, from Singapore, including the development of English-language materials and structured analytical frameworks aimed at investors in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
JLawStock offers structured trading frameworks for retail investors. Its curriculum emphasizes professional trading techniques, discipline and the mindset required for long-term market participation. The programs have attracted full-time traders, financial influencers, and fund managers.
"I want to raise the standard of investment education," Law said. "Empowering investors with a professional-grade process is my next mission."
