Tap Water: Unseen Contaminants & How to Protect Your Family

Ever wonder what’s lurking in your tap water? If we are honest, many of us have come to take clean water for granted. Still, concerns over water quality are growing. From the news to social media, it’s difficult not to be a little uneasy about the quality of water flowing into our homes.

Hidden Contaminants: What You Might Not Know

Even with municipal water treatment plants operating at their best, you might be surprised by all the unwanted contaminants in your tap water. Added chlorine and fluoride, used to disinfect and strengthen teeth respectively, are well known culprits many would do without. Heavy metals, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals are others, which come out of a kind of grab bag of sources.

Beyond Drinking: The Skin-Water Connection

While most of us tend to easily raise an eyebrow over the water that comes out to drink, remember that your skin is the body’s biggest organ. It absorbs everything it comes in contact with, including the water we bathe in. Therefore, even though the water from your tap may not look dirty, it is always important to think about what could be getting absorbed through your skin.
