Government regulations allow our drinking water to contain:
- aluminum
- chloride
- copper
- iron
- manganese
- silver sulfate
- zinc
- dissolved solids
Even if city water at the municipal utility tests within government guidelines, your water probably won't meet the minimal government guidelines after passing through miles of old underground pipes.
What's wrong with city water?
Consumers are generally reluctant to drink tap water. Water from your tap has chemical smells and tastes. Your water had to travel long distances through pipes where the water can pick up pollutants such as:
- extremely toxic metals such as lead
- harmful bacteria
- dissolved solids
Signs of bad water
What are the obvious signs of bad water? They include cloudiness or discoloration, staining, scale deposits, and corrosion. Water may be foul-smelling or bad-tasting.
Unfortunately, your water may contain chemicals, metals, dissolved solids, and bacteria without you noticing these pollutants.
Do you really know what's in the water you drink? Does your water make your skin dry? Does it leave spots on your dishes? Does your water appear cloudy, or taste bad? If so, it's time to learn more about your drinking water.
