Clean, Safe Water Starts with a Free In-Home Water Test

Water filtration is the process of removing impurities and contaminants from tap water to make it cleaner, safer, and better tasting for everyday use. Home water filtration systems target common pollutants like chlorine, lead, sediment, bacteria, and hard minerals that may affect your health, plumbing, and appliances.

Popular types include:

• Whole-house filtration systems – treat all water entering the home

• Under-sink or countertop filters – ideal for drinking and cooking water

• UV purification systems – kill bacteria and viruses, especially in well water

• Water softeners – reduce calcium and magnesium buildup from hard water

By filtering your home's water, you protect your family’s health, extend the life of appliances, and enjoy cleaner water at every tap.

Hard water contains high concentrations of dissolved minerals — mainly calcium and magnesium. In residential homes, this can lead to limescale buildup in pipes, water heaters, dishwashers, and fixtures, reducing water flow, energy efficiency, and appliance lifespan.

Signs of hard water include:

• Soap scum on dishes and shower walls

• Dry, itchy skin and dull hair

• Clothes that feel stiff after washing

• Reduced water pressure

To treat hard water, homeowners commonly install a water softener system, which removes excess minerals and improves overall water quality for drinking, bathing, and cleaning. Softened water helps protect plumbing, improves detergent effectiveness, and extends the life of water-using appliances.

Tap water safety depends on your local water source and how it’s treated. While municipal water is regulated to meet safety standards, it may still contain trace levels of chlorine, heavy metals, pesticides, and microplastics by the time it reaches your faucet.

Even in areas with good infrastructure, issues like aging pipes or regional contamination can affect water quality. The best way to know if your tap water is safe is to conduct a home water test and, if needed, install a certified water filtration system.

Filtering your tap water provides added protection and peace of mind, especially for families with children, seniors, or immune-sensitive individuals.

Common tap water contaminants can vary based on your location and water source, but frequently include:

• Chlorine – added for disinfection but affects taste and odor

• 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

• Reduced efficiency and lifespan of water-using appliances

Soft water, on the other hand, has been treated — usually by a water softener — to remove those hardness minerals. The benefits of soft water include:

• Better soap and detergent performance

• Smoother skin and softer hair

• Longer-lasting appliances and plumbing

• Fewer cleaning issues from mineral buildup

Switching to soft water can significantly improve your home’s water quality and reduce maintenance costs.

Boiling water can effectively kill bacteria, viruses, and parasites, making it useful for short-term disinfection during emergencies. However, boiling does not remove:

• Heavy metals (e.g., lead, mercury)

• Chlorine or chloramine

• Fluoride

• Pesticides or chemical pollutants

For comprehensive purification, a certified water filtration system is the best solution to remove both microbiological and chemical contaminants. If you suspect bacterial contamination, contact your local municipality or water authority immediately — as we do not test for organic materials.

Yes — tap water can have a noticeable impact on your skin and hair, especially if it contains:

• Hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium, which dry out skin, cause flakiness, and make hair feel rough or dull

• Chlorine and other chemical disinfectants, which can irritate sensitive skin and scalp

• Heavy metals or contaminants, which may clog pores or worsen skin conditions

Installing a whole-home water filtration system or a shower filter can help reduce exposure to these irritants — resulting in softer skin, healthier hair, and improved overall comfort.

The pH level of drinking water affects its taste, health benefits, and impact on plumbing systems. Here’s how:

• Alkaline water (pH 7.5–9) is preferred for hydration, better taste, and improved mineral absorption

• Acidic water (pH below 7) can corrode pipes and plumbing, potentially leaching lead or other heavy metals into your water supply

• Neutral pH (around 7) is ideal for balanced, safe everyday consumption

Installing a 7-stage water filtration system can help stabilize pH and provide alkaline, mineral-rich drinking water, promoting better hydration and long-term health benefits.

Yes — hard water and certain contaminants in your tap water can cause long-term damage to your plumbing and household appliances. Common issues include:

• Limescale buildup in water heaters, dishwashers, and pipes
