You know water quality is important—but where do you start?

With so many filtration options out there, choosing the right system can feel overwhelming. The good news? Getting clean, safe water in your home is easier than you think.


Step 1: Find Out What’s in Your Water


Before choosing a filtration system, you need to know what you’re dealing with. Some of the most common water contaminants include:


🚱 Lead – Can leach from old pipes and cause neurological damage and developmental issues in children.

🚱 PFAS (“forever chemicals”) – Linked to cancer, hormone disruption, and immune disorders.

🚱 Chlorine & Disinfection Byproducts – Used to treat city water, but can cause dry skin, hair damage, and increased health risks.

🚱 Hard Water Minerals – Calcium and magnesium can clog pipes and shorten the life of appliances.


You can test your water using:


A professional water test (recommended for accurate results).

A home testing kit for quick insights on basic contaminants.


Step 2: Choose the Right Filtration System


Once you know what’s in your water, pick the best system for your home.
