Did you know that bottled water may actually be less safe than tap water?

 

Despite its convenient packaging, bottled water often contains harmful toxins that can pose serious health risks. Research has shown that both bottled and tap water may contain dangerous contaminants like lead, mercury, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including pesticides, herbicides, and industrial solvents. These pollutants have been proven to cause long-term health problems when consumed regularly.

How to Choose the Best Water Filter for Your Home

 

If you're wondering how to select the right water filtration system for your home, we recommend checking out Aquafana’s comprehensive water filter guide. This valuable resource will help you understand the different types of filters, the contaminants they remove, and the important questions to ask before making a purchase.

​

What Does a Water Filtration System Remove?

To determine which contaminants are present in your water, we recommend reviewing your municipality's Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) or using the EWG’s Tap Water Database https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/ to get a detailed analysis of your water quality. Once you know the specific pollutants in your water, you can select a water filtration system that targets those contaminants effectively.

 

Here are some common types of filtration media and what they remove:

​

• Activated Carbon Filters: Ideal for reducing pharmaceuticals, herbicides, pesticides, and VOCs.

• Catalytic Carbon Filters: Designed to remove chlorine and chloramines, common disinfectants in tap water.

• Ion-Exchange and Reverse Osmosis Systems: Effectively remove heavy metals like lead, mercury, and fluoride.

• Sub-Micron Mechanical Filtration: Removes harmful microorganisms, such as cryptosporidium and giardia, as well as asbestos and chlorine-resistant cysts.
