If you care about your family’s health, you’ve probably wondered whether your home’s water is safe. With so much misinformation, it’s easy to make assumptions—but not all of them hold water. Just because tap water meets EPA standards doesn’t mean it’s free from substances that could affect your health long-term. Likewise, not all water filters are created equal; some target taste and odor, while others remove contaminants that pose serious risks. And if you’re relying on bottled water for safety, think again—up to a quarter of it is just filtered tap water, and it’s not always more regulated. Filtration systems aren’t all expensive or complicated either. Many affordable options can improve water quality and even save you money over time. And while filtering drinking water is essential, so is filtering the water you use to shower, cook, or clean—since exposure to unfiltered water can still affect your skin, appliances, and overall home health. Finally, don’t confuse a water softener with a filter. Softeners handle hard minerals, while filters tackle contaminants. Many homes benefit from using both for complete protection.
