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.
