Contaminants

— The Best water quality monitoring program

What’s In Your Water?

There is likely some type of contamination in your tap or well, no matter where you live. Regardless of how much arsenic, bacteria, chlorine, or other contaminants are in your water, there is a filter system that will meet your needs. With the right filter, you can enjoy the benefits of clean water for your health and its refreshing taste.

PFAS

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS, are a large family of synthetic compounds that are tricky for the environment to degrade. Many PFAS have been connected to severe medical issues such as cancer, problems with fertility, high cholesterol, alteration of hormones, liver damage, obesity, and thyroid illness.

Radon In Water

Radon can be a problem if your drinking water originates from a well that collects from an underground source. When radon is produced by the earth, it can disperse and build up in groundwater like wells. Using radon-containing water for showering, dishwashing, cooking, and other purposes, radon gas leaks from the water and into the atmosphere.

Other Contaminants Simplified

Contaminant refers to any substance present in water that is physical, chemical, biological, or radiological. While some contaminants in drinking water could be dangerous if taken at specific quantities, others might be safe.
