Common Contaminants Found In Water
Microplastics
Microplastics are tiny plastic particles in drinking water that slip through basic filters. Over time, they can build up in the body and raise concerns about long-term health effects.
Heavy Metals
Heavy metals like lead and arsenic can enter water through natural sources or old systems. Even small amounts can pose serious health risks over time.
Chorine Byproducts
Chlorine can react with organic matter in water, creating harmful byproducts like THMs. These invisible chemicals may pose risks with long-term exposure.
Old Pipes
Old pipes can corrode and release rust, lead, and sediment into your water. This can affect quality, taste, and even damage appliances over time.
How contaminants Get Into Your Water
Even treated municipal water can pick up contaminants before it reaches your home.
Water leaves treatment facilities clean—but the journey through miles of underground pipes can introduce unwanted substances along the way.
As water travels through aging infrastructure, it can absorb:
• Sediment and rust from deteriorating pipes
• Disinfection byproducts formed during treatment
• Trace metals like lead and copper
• Hard water minerals that cause scale buildup
By the time water reaches your tap, it may contain contaminants that weren’t present at the treatment plant.
