What Contaminants Can Affect Water's Taste?

Does your water taste off?

Do you think contaminants are to blame?

Common contaminants that affect water’s taste include:

Pesticides – Used to kill insects and other pests to promote agriculture, pesticides can give water a chemical taste. Pesticides can enter your water through runoff or can seep into the water supply directly if used near your well.

Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium – These minerals are known as the “good minerals” because they’re minerals humans need. In large amounts, they can provide a metallic or soapy taste.

Chlorine and Other Disinfectants – Chlorine is a gas used to disinfect and kill bacteria and can be used to disinfect water. Chlorinating city water is common. Chlorine or other disinfectants can make your water smell or taste like a swimming pool.

Why You Need a Filter to Improve Your Water’s Taste

Does your home’s water have a bad taste?

Do you want to improve the taste of your water?

Bad taste is a very common complaint that’s usually associated with well water. Well water comes from rain and runoff seeping through the ground. While sitting underground, the water can absorb contaminants in the soil that affect its taste. Private well water is not regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), so you have to check your own well water for contaminants!

Hydrogen Sulfide is a common contaminant in well water. It’s a colorless gas that is created when underground minerals or vegetation break down. It gives your water a rotten egg or sulfur taste and smell. Similar sulfates can make water salty.
