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.

Water Filter System Maintenance

Does your filtered water have a bad taste or smell?

Replacing your filters and performing regular maintenance on your water filter system is important to keep it working properly. A clean system will filter out contaminants more efficiently, keeping your water clean while removing any bad taste and smell.

Assess your water filter system once a month. You should look for:

• Proper installation – Water filters can perform poorly if not installed correctly. Each ProOne product has specific installation instructions. 
• Leaks – For missing or broken parts, email support@prooneusa.com. 
• Cleanliness of filter housing – Filter housings can be washed with soap and warm water.

Be Prepared with a ProOne Water Filter Pitcher

ProOne water filters can help remove some of the potential bacteria in your water supply. The ProOne G2.0 filter can remove: 

Microbiological Contaminants (Bacteria)

• Total coliform - 99.999%
• Escherichia coli - 99.999%
• Fecal Coliform - 99.999%
• Klebsiella pneumoniae - 99.999%
• Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia (polystyrene Microsphere) - 99.999%

The ProOne/Coldstream filter can remove:

• Rotavirus - 99.7%

Filtering water can reduce the bacteria and viruses, but it shouldn’t be your only line of defense. Water filters can’t kill the contaminants that remain. The only way to kill these contaminants is to boil the water for one minute. 

It’s rare the contaminant that caused the boil water advisory is revealed to the public, so don’t take a chance. To remove as many contaminants as possible, filter your water and then boil it.

What makes ProOne different from other water filter pitchers?

In traditional water filter pitchers, the filter sits in the filtered water, potentially allowing cross-contamination of your drinking water. The unique design of the ProOne Water Filter Pitcher positions the filter upright in the container, out of the filtered water, eliminating the potential for cross-contamination and ensuring the purest possible drinking water.

Can Water Filters Help During a Boil Water Advisory?

Has a boil water advisory been issued for your location?

What does that mean?

A boil water advisory is a notice issued by your local public health department or government notification advising customers to boil tap water before consuming due to possible contamination by pathogens. During a boil water advisory, the CDC recommends using bottled water or boiled tap water for much of your water use.

A boil water advisory could last for several days or even weeks depending on what’s causing the issue. Think of all the money you’ll have to spend on bottled water for cleaning and cooking!

ProOne water filters can help remove some of the potential bacteria in your water supply. Learn how well the ProOne G2.0 filter can help remove microbiological contaminants! 

Visit ProOne independent lab reports for details on other contaminant reductions. 

Filtering water can help reduce bacteria and viruses, but it shouldn’t be your only line of defense. Boil your water for at least one minute or longer as recommended by your local water or health department and allow to cool down before use.
