From drinking to cooking and cleaning, tap water is used for multiple purposes. Although tap water is an integral part of our existence, we need to reevaluate its safety.
How safe is the tap water in your home or office for consumption? For starters, it’s important to understand where the water comes from. To put it in simple terms, the tap water you use comes from an underground surface or lakes, rivers, lakes and streams.
As a result, it contains large amounts of toxic materials, such as dirt, lead, bacteria, sulfur and so on. The contaminants in tap water can cause chronic health issues when anyone drinks the water.
Tap Water Contaminants
Manufacturing industries release toxins into the environment, such as mercury, lead and more. Once these toxins enter lakes, streams and rivers, they contaminate the water supply. Eventually, homeowners receive contaminated water through taps. In addition, a number of chemicals are added into tap water to eliminate bacteria and other microorganisms.
Generally speaking, your tap water may comprise a variety of chemicals and pollutants, including but not limited to, lead, mercury, radium, chlorine, copper, aluminum, barium, pesticides and nitrates.
When you drink or use the contaminated tap water, you are at a risk of developing health issues, such as gastrointestinal issues, neurological disorders, anemia, kidney problems, digestive problems and so on.
Determining Tap Water Safety
Removing toxins from water is imperative to protecting your overall health. Water testing is one way to determine whether or not tap water is safe for use.
A certified water treatment company can help you assess the status of your home’s tap water. Certified, licensed water companies use the most advanced techniques and tools to check water quality and safety levels.
That being said, make sure you contact a reputable water treatment company to assess and resolve your water issues. A qualified, experienced technician will understand your water problems and provide the right products for addressing them.
