Tap water usually does not look as a danger in your home. In which, if you drink it, there is a good chance you may never feel affects from it. But, there are a couple of studies that show that some water though it is treated by city officials. It can actually be what they are treating it with that could make you sick.

Drinking Water

Check The Source of Your Tap Water

  • First, you will have to do some research of where you are getting your water. Are you getting it from a well or from a city? Where is the city utility water coming from? Is it in danger of contamination by agriculture chemicals, human waste, or hazardous chemicals?
  • If you feel that the water is in danger, the best thing to do is to have someone professionally test it.

How Can I Make My Tap Water More Safe?

  • If you want to be on the safe side of things. You can go to a hardware store and buy a heavy duty reverse osmosis system to filter out the dangerous chemicals. This system is thorough and can be installed to every water outlet in your house.
  • Call Carter’s My Plumber to install it.
