It’s Your Water…..Know What’s in It?
The safety and characteristics of your family’s tap water are critical. Have you considered its current state? How much chlorine does it contain? What about its hardness or the number of dissolved solids? Are there any lurking toxins you might not be aware of?
A recent consumer survey highlighted that homeowners prioritize four key aspects of their water: comprehensive water quality throughout their home, toxin-free water, softer water for healthier skin, and water that helps appliances operate efficiently and last longer.
To achieve this desired water quality, it’s imperative to have your tap water tested. A one-size-fits-all approach to water filtration simply won’t cut it. Water quality issues such as hardness, high chlorine levels, elevated total dissolved solids, low pH, pharmaceuticals, disinfection byproducts, and other contaminants can vary significantly from home to home and even change with the seasons.
Local Public Service Districts (PSDs) or Public Supply Districts, responsible for your water supply, conduct annual water quality tests. The results of these tests are public records, often posted on the PSDs website. We recommend reviewing these reports and researching your water supply further on resources like the EWG’s National Tap Water Database.
Regardless of your water source, we strongly recommend having it tested for a precise understanding of its composition. When choosing a filter, ensure it’s certified to address the specific contaminants found in your water.
There’s a range of affordable solutions to enhance your water quality. Pitchers, refrigerator filters, faucet-mounted filters, and under-sink carbon filters are excellent starting points for removing some contaminants. However, for the ultimate peace of mind, Reverse Osmosis technology with pre-filtration and a thin-film composite membrane stands out as the most reliable final barrier. It ensures the highest percentage of contaminant reduction, delivering truly great-tasting, safer, and healthier drinking water.
