Lead – often from old pipes or plumbing fixtures
Arsenic – naturally occurring in some groundwater sources
Fluoride – added in some municipalities, but controversial
Nitrates – common in agricultural or well water areas
Pesticides and herbicides – runoff from farms and lawns
Heavy metals – including mercury, cadmium, and chromium
Hard water minerals – like calcium and magnesium, which cause scale buildup and reduce appliance efficiency
A professional water quality test can identify which of these contaminants are in your home’s water and help guide the right filtration or treatment solution.
-
If your tap water has an unusual taste, odor, or discoloration, it may be caused by contaminants such as:
Chlorine – creates a chemical or pool-like smell
Sulfur (hydrogen sulfide) – causes a rotten egg smell
Iron or manganese – may give water a metallic taste or reddish tint
Bacteria or algae – can create musty or earthy smells
Rust or sediment – may cloud the water or cause brown/yellow coloring
These issues are common in both municipal and well water supplies. Installing a home water filtration system can effectively remove these impurities, resulting in cleaner, better-tasting, and odor-free water for drinking and household use.
-
Hard water contains high concentrations of minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can cause:
Limescale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and fixtures
Soap scum on dishes and bathroom surfaces
Dry skin and dull hair
