How is Your Water Purity?
There are many things in America's water supplies besides H20. Some are harmful, most are not.
The amount of a given substance, or even its sheer presence, may determine whether or not your water is safe. The
concentration levels of these substances may dictate if you are dealing with an aesthetic issue, a long term risk, or an immediate health threat.
Some contaminants in water are not regulated or adequately controlled even though they pose immediate health problems when present. In some instances, the
water treated by a public (municipal) supplier is okay coming out of the treatment facility, but is not okay when it reaches your home tap. In other cases,
water treatment facilities fail to detect harmful bacteria up to 15% of the time.
Most of America's water supplies are safe. However,
you may never know until it's too late if what you consume is
safe, unless you check it yourself. The
most important message we can deliver to you is that you need
to take control yourself in monitoring (testing) and treating
your water to be sure what is coming from your tap is in fact
safe for you and your family. Whether it's
someone else's responsibility (as in a public supplier) or yours
(as in private wells), be sure to test it regularly.
Remember the 4 steps to safe water
- TEST YOUR WATER
