There&#;s a variety of contaminants that may show up in water. Below are some examples.
You can find more information on our web, so please take a look.
Tastes and odors may not be harmful but can be unpleasant.
Rust particles and other sediment can settle in drinking water, clog sink aerators and affect appliances, such as ice makers and washing machines. The condition where water has enough sediment and particles to be cloudy is known as turbidity.
Bacteria and parasites can be health concerns, particularly for the young, the elderly and anyone with weak immune systems. While well water is more likely to be contaminated by bacteria and parasites, these organisms have been known to contaminate chlorinated municipal water.
Lead can be present in water. Houses built before may have pipes joined with lead solder. Some municipal water systems may be composed of components that contain lead. Lead in water is tasteless and odorless but should be avoided as much as possible. You can find filters that reduce it, but if you&#;re concerned about the possibility of lead in your water, have a professional test it.
There are other potential contaminants, including pharmaceuticals, heavy metals and viruses, that may be present. Before you choose your water filter, learn what&#;s in your water and determine what you want to remove. Most public water suppliers, such as cities or other municipalities, must publish an annual water quality report known as a Consumer Confidence Report. If you want specifics on the water coming from your tap and not just the general water supply, test your home&#;s water. You can purchase water test kits and do it yourself, just make sure you understand what they test for. If your water comes from a well, you&#;ll need to test the water to find out what contaminants it contains.
