Water is an essential nutrient for human bodies. Chemically, water is composed of the chemical elements hydrogen and oxygen (H2O) and existing in gaseous, liquid, and solid states. It’s a tasteless and odorless liquid at room temperature. Water can dissolve many other substances. And sometimes even toxic substances can get in the tap water; people who drink unfiltered tap water could facing some health risks after a while.

Arsenic contamination of drinking water is a serious threat to the health of hundreds of millions of people worldwide. In the United States ~3 million individuals drink well water that contains arsenic levels above the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 μg/L. Several technologies are available to remove arsenic from well water including anion exchange, adsorptive media and reverse osmosis. In addition, bottled water is an alternative to drinking well water contaminated with arsenic. However, there are several drawbacks associated with these approaches including relatively high cost and, in the case of bottled water, the generation of plastic waste (Barnaby et al., 2017). Therefore, buying resuable water filters becomes an environmental-friendly alternative. Drinking healthy water while reducing uses of plastic is achieveable at the same time, but it becomes especially important to educate yourself about how to pick the effective filters. You need to research about the capacity of the filter before buying a kettle, and different areas across country may have pipe water of different quality, so reading the instructions carefully to find out if the filter you are using could cleanse water in the right way.

The most common ones and how to get rid of them with the acquisition of a water filtration system.

• Lead – from your home’s pipes and plumbing fixtures
• Arsenic – naturally occurring from arsenic-rich rocks and soil, volcanic activity, and forest fires; and human activity from manufacturing, mining, improper disposal of paints, etc.
• Farming chemicals – fertilizers/nitrates, pesticides, herbicides, etc
• Pharmaceuticals – antibiotics, antidepressants, anti-anxiety meds, painkillers, hormones
• Perchlorates – these are widespread, dangerous, and, until recently, not regulated by the EPA
•  PFAS (perfluoroalkyl) – chemical compounds used to make non-stick cookware, paper and packing products, firefighting foam, carpets, leather, and water-repellent textiles
• Pathogens – viruses, bacteria, and parasites in a water supply that hasn’t been properly treated
• Cleaners – Ammonia, chlorine, and by-products of the local water chlorination process
• Fluoride – added ‘for our dental health’.
• Radioactive materials – from oil and gas production and/or naturally occurringTap water often meets minimal water quality standards from EPA,  though several experts agree these standards are too low. Most filters use both physical and chemical filtration to remove particles and microscopic contaminants from our water.
