What is in your water?

Water in our homes is something that we take for granted. You simply open the faucet, and you have it available. We all know that tap water does not taste very good; therefore, we buy bottled water. But if you look a bit closer into the quality of your home’s water, you soon realize that it contains a lot more than just hydrogen and oxygen molecules. So buying drinking bottled might seem like your only choice. However, this is not the case.

Environmental Working Group (EWG) Study

A recent analytical study about water quality in 50 States and the District of Columbia have spotlighted just how widespread tap water contamination truly is. The study, conducted by the nonprofit Environmental Working Group (EWG), demonstrates high levels of arsenic, lead, and PFAS. PFAS, also known as forever chemicals, are widely used in industrial manufacturing applications. 

PFAS, also known as Forever Chemicals

These chemicals take a long time to break down; hence the monicker forever chemicals. At this point, these chemicals can be found everywhere. PFAS are found in the blood of people and animals worldwide and are present at low levels in various food products and the environment. Studies have shown that exposure to some PFAS in the environment may harm humans and animals. We use so many of them that studying their individual effects has become extremely challenging for scientists.

Other Contaminants

Arsenic is an element (metalloid) that can be highly toxic to most biologic systems, including humans.

Lead is a naturally occurring element found in small amounts in the Earth’s crust. It can be toxic to humans and animals, causing detrimental health effects.

See what is in your water!

Now, thanks to The Environmental Working Group, you have a way to see precisely what contaminants may be present. Follow the link below and enter your zip code. In other words, you can find out now exactly what may be present.

The perfect solution!

The good news is that a water filtration system from Aqua Life of Houston has been precisely developed to filter out all these contaminants and much more. Firstly, our softener will provide your whole home with soft water that is much better quality than the naturally occurring Houston metro has to offer. See all the benefits of soft water. Secondly, when paired with one of our reverse osmosis systems, the quality you get is the water you and your family can enjoy free of contaminants.
