Understanding Water Contaminants

Have you ever wondered why people filter their water? 

Wondering what more might be lingering in your drinking water? 

The Consumer Reports article outlines various contaminants that can compromise the safety of your drinking water. Some of these include:


Gravity Water Filters
Lead: A notorious and harmful contaminant, lead can leach into water from plumbing materials. It is
especially concerning as even low levels of exposure can have potentially severe health effects, particularly in children.

Arsenic: This naturally occurring element can seep into groundwater, posing potential health risks.

PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances): Commonly found in products like nonstick cookware and firefighting foam, PFAS can contaminate water sources and has been linked to various health problems.

Chlorine and Disinfection Byproducts: While chlorine is often used to disinfect water, its byproducts can have adverse health effects. These byproducts are formed when chlorine reacts with organic matter in water.
