What Does Tap Water Contain?

Water, a vital resource for life, often contains a variety of substances that can impact its quality and safety. While water provides essential hydration and supports numerous bodily functions, it can also carry contaminants that pose health risks. Recognizing and addressing these contaminants is crucial for ensuring safe and clean water.

Common Contaminants in Water

Unfortunately, water can contain contaminants that pose health risks. These can come from natural sources, industrial processes, or agricultural activities.

1. PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances): Man-made chemicals used in various industrial applications. They are persistent in the environment and can lead to health issues such as cancer and immune system effects.
2. Microplastics: Tiny plastic particles from products and packaging. They can be harmful to both human health and the environment.
3. Chlorine and Chloramines: Used to disinfect water but can cause unpleasant taste and potential health risks with long-term exposure.

Water Filtration and Purification

To ensure the water we consume is safe, various filtration and purification methods are used. One of the most effective methods is Bluewater’s SuperiorOsmosis™ Technology
