Advanced Water Solutions That Go Beyond City Water Standards

The water supplied in the city first goes through water treatment facilities for filtration to ensure the water that reaches households is safe and pure. However, impurities often find their way into this filtered water. While consuming this water may not cause any harm to you in the short run, in the long run, it can have an adverse effect on your health.

Heavy metals, chemicals and pathogens that find their way into the water supply make homeowners feel uneasy, which is why many individuals these days are looking for ways to improve their home’s water quality.

How Safe and Clean Are Different?

Over the years, various studies have been conducted on the drinking water quality of America. Here are some facts that were brought forward in these studies:

  • In the USA, every year, about 1.2 trillion gallons of sewage and industrial waste are dumped in the water. 
  • Every day, 2 million tons of agricultural, industrial and sewage waste are released into the water bodies around the world.
  • 10% of the beaches in America do not meet the federal standards set for safe swimming water.
  • Nitrate released due to agricultural activities is the most widely present chemical contaminant in groundwater aquifers around the world.
  • The U.S. drinking water system received a D-plus rating from the American Society of Civil Engineers due to the yearly loss of 2 trillion gallons of treated water, contaminant issues and aged pipelines.

While water treatment facilities test the water quality, the scores in these tests are not always applicable to the water that finally reaches your home. As the treated water travels through an old distribution system, it picks up many different impurities on its way to your home.

Effects of Treated Water

Water treatment facilities add chlorine to water for disinfection purposes. The chlorine is present in the water even when it travels through the distribution system and reaches your home to ensure it remains free of microorganisms. This chlorine can make your water smell and taste odd and can even cause your skin and hair to dry out.

Many people think that water treatment facilities supply soft water, however, this is not true as the water supplied to homes often contains large amounts of hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium. Even if it is softened, it is not completely free of hard water minerals.
