Everyone benefits from better quality water. Whether it's for better overall health or just a better taste, you can't go wrong with upgrading your water quality. Most people aren't aware of the contaminants that can potentially be found in our water supply. If your business has dated plumbing you could be a good candidate for a softener or filtration system install. Some of the contaminants that may be found in your water include: Lead Lead pipes are the most common entry source of lead in drinking water. Certain pipes that carry drinking water from the water source to the home may potentially contain lead. Household plumbing fixtures, welding solder, and pipe fittings that were made prior to 1986 may also contain lead. Chlorine Ingesting larger than normal amounts of chlorine with your tap water can have a number of adverse health effects. Some of these effects occur because chlorine tends to form trihalomethanes. Trihalomethanes (THMs), including chloroform, form when chlorine reacts with tiny organic particles found in water. These chemical compounds have been documented in several adverse health outcomes. Chloramines Studies have indicated chloramine causes more rapid deterioration of community municipal plumbing infrastructures. This is especially true of valves and fittings found in those infrastructures. In water systems that still use lead pipes or components, this causes lead and other metals to enter our drinking water out of faucets and shower heads. Mercury This silver metal and chemical element is naturally found in ore deposits. It's also found in man-made products like barometers, thermometers, dry-cell batteries, light bulbs, and other electronics. It can enter into water supplies from improperly disposed of devices containing it. Common entry points generally come from run-offs from landfills & farm land, or it can be dumped by factories. VOCs Volatile Organic Chemicals or, VOCs, are found in a host of commercial, industrial, and residential products, including gasoline, solvents, cleaners and degreasers, paints, inks and dyes. VOCs are most commonly found in the environment as a result of human activity, such as a spill or inappropriate disposal of the chemical where it's been allowed to soak into the ground Herbicides Atrazine is a popular herbicide that is still widely used today because it is effectiveness in reducing crop losses due to weed growth. Atrazine is a frequently used herbicide used on corn, soybeans, sorghum, sugar cane, and pineapple. The EPA has found atrazine to potentially cause a variety of health effects from long-term exposure at levels above the recommended amounts of consumption. Pesticides Did you know that there are more than 1,000 pesticides used around the world to ensure food is not damaged or destroyed by pests? When farmland get excessive amounts of rainfall that water cannot always be held within the soil structure. When this happens, pesticides can find it's way into our water supply.
