Key Takeaway: PFAS—often called “forever chemicals”—are man-made compounds that persist in water, soil, and the human body due to their extremely strong chemical bonds. These substances have been detected in drinking water systems nationwide and are difficult for traditional treatment plants to remove. Advanced filtration methods such as reverse osmosis…

Key Takeaway Xenoestrogens are hormone-disrupting compounds that can enter water supplies through pharmaceuticals, plastics, and agricultural runoff. Because these contaminants may exist at trace levels and can be difficult to remove with basic filtration, many homeowners choose advanced treatment options—such as multi-stage filtration or reverse osmosis—to reduce potential exposure and…

Are you tired of dealing with hard water in your home? Salt-free water softeners might be the solution you’re looking for. These devices work differently from traditional salt-based systems, offering a unique approach to improving your water quality. Salt-free water softeners don’t actually remove minerals from your water, but instead…

According to the USGS at least 45% of the nation’s tap water is estimated to have one or more types of the chemicals known as per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances, or PFAS, according to a new study by the U.S. Geological Survey. There are more than 12,000 types of PFAS,…

Summary of Chromium 6 Chromium-6 is the cancer-causing chemical made notorious by the 2000 film “Erin Brockovich,” which documented the poisoning of drinking water in Hinkley, Calif. Chromium gets into drinking water as pollution from industrial uses, such as a coolant at electrical power stations, but also occurs naturally in…

Background on Arsenic in Public Water Supplies Arsenic occurs naturally as a trace component in many rocks and sediments. Whether the arsenic is released from these geologic sources into groundwater depends on the chemical form of the arsenic, the geochemical conditions in the aquifer, and the biogeochemical processes that occur….

How Lead Gets into Drinking Water Lead can enter drinking water when service pipes that contain lead corrode, especially where the water has high acidity or low mineral content that corrodes pipes and fixtures. The most common problem is with brass or chrome-plated brass faucets and fixtures with lead solder, from…

Xenoestrogens are found in a variety of everyday items. Many of us don’t think twice about the makeup we wear each day or the plastic container we use to pack our lunch. We know organic food is supposed to be better for us, but sometimes we just don’t want to…

According to a recent USGS nationwide study At least 45% of the nation’s tap water is estimated to have one or more types of the chemicals known as per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances, or PFAS, according to a new study by the U.S. Geological Survey. There are more than 12,000…

In some thirty five years of water filtration I have heard from hundreds if not thousands of concerned people about the possibility of toxins and pollutants in their water supply. The article below discusses an issue that is found in nearly every public water supply nationwide. Poisons that are actually…
