All about Water

There are 6 types of contaminants you want to remove from municipal tap water:
  • Chlorine and chloramines
  • Volatile Organic Compounds (pesticides, herbicides, etc.)
  • Heavy metals (Lead, Mercury, Aluminum, Cadmium, Chromium, Copper)
  • Bacterial and viruses (Giardia and Cryptosporidium)
  • General Sediment
  • Fluoride
In terms of personal health, chlorine and VOCs are the most toxic contaminants commonly present in municipally treated drinking water.
