How To Choose the Right Water Filter

Nowadays, there are more reasons than ever to filter your tap water. Toxic water has been found in many cities across America, from the lead crisis in Flint, Michigan, to GenX contamination in North Carolina, to many other places that may not even know the dangers in their water. Industrial chemicals like Prefluorinated Chemicals (PFCs), pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, and pesticides can all be found in water supplies. Not to forget the more commonly known contaminants like chlorine, sediment, dirt, rust, bacteria which can be lurking in tap water as well. Needless to say, untreated tap water (and not using a water filter) can pose some serious health risks.

Luckily, safe water can be achieved with a relatively small investment in a good water filter. Read on to find out what you need to know to make informed decisions and improve your water quality.
