Could Michigan Water be Contaminated with Hexavalent Chromium?

In the last several years, we’ve heard of hexavalent chromium in two high-profile news stories in Michigan. There was a leak on I-696 in 2019, and in August 2022, water from a sewage treatment facility in Wixom accidentally released hexavalent chromium into the Huron River system. 

Hexavalent chromium is undetectable without lab testing, but you can reduce possible exposure with a home water filtration system from ProOne.

Benefits to Drinking Filtered Water

Why should you choose filtered water over bottled?

You know where it comes from – When you use your home’s own water, you know the source. Whether you use a well or city system, you can test your water for contaminants and get a clear and relatively consistent understanding of the makeup of your water.

Convenient – It’s easier to grab a glass of water from home than to drive to the store for bottled water!

Remove contaminants – No water is 100% free from contaminants, but ProOne water filters do a great job at removing over 220 contaminants! See independent lab reports for each of our filters!

Save money – Using your own water rather buying water bottles can save you a considerable amount of money each year.

Save environment – The majority of plastic water bottles are 100% recyclable, but often end up in landfills. By drinking filtered water instead of bottled, you can reduce plastic waste.

Is Bottled Water What You Think it is?

Do you think of bottled water as pure and free from any contaminants?

You may be surprised to know bottled water is not as pure as you think! No water is completely free from contaminants and the standards for bottled water are actually based on the standards for tap water, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). 

What Contaminants Can Be Found in Bottled Water?

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), there are over 90 contaminants that are regulated in drinking water. These include microorganisms, heavy metals like lead and copper, and disinfectants. Consumer Reports found in a study that 43 out of 47 bottled water brands tested contained some levels of PFAS chemicals and all contained heavy metals, albeit low levels.

How Can You Reduce PFAS in Your Water?

Do you want to have clean, great tasting water free from PFAS?

Filter your water - ProOne water filters have been tested and cleared to reduce PFAS in drinking water, as well as remove heavy metals, fluoride, pesticides, and more. 

Choose only filtered water sources - Bottled and city water may seem safe, but there’s no way to tell if the water is PFAS free other than testing it. PFAS don’t affect the water’s taste or smell, making it hard to know which water sources are contaminated.

What are PFAS?

PFAS are a class of over 3,000 chemicals that take years to break down. PFAS are often found in products that boast water and stain resistant properties as well as common household items, such as non-stick cookware, water-resistant active clothing, stain resistant furniture and carpet, and paper products. 

These chemicals have been around for longer than you may think, starting with pesticides in the 1940s. Because PFAS are still commonly found in products and can take decades to break down, we’re seeing them accumulate and contaminate more resources. PFAS have been found in plants, animals, water, and humans.

How A Water Filtration System Can Help Reduce Microplastics

Have you been hearing more about microplastics recently?

Microplastics have been in the news after a study came out that asserts humans may consume a credit card’s worth of plastic every week.

What Are Microplastics? 

Microplastics are plastic debris particles less than five millimeters in size. There are some microplastics even smaller than this called nanoplastics. All these particles come from the decomposition of plastic materials, which make up a large portion of the world’s waste. Microplastics can enter the soil and end up in groundwater, be eaten by fish and other wildlife humans may consume and enter the freshwater we use for drinking.

Microplastics are not entirely avoidable. They’ve been found in our clothing, food, and hygiene products. Most importantly, microplastics have been found in America’s drinking water, bottled water, and well water.

Learn how you can reduce microplastics in your water.
