Is your water safe to drink? |

There
is no such thing as naturally pure water. In nature, all water contains
some impurities. As water flows in streams, sits in lakes, and filters
through layers of soil and rock in the ground, it dissolves or absorbs
the substances that it touches. Some of these substances are harmless.
In fact, some people prefer mineral water precisely because minerals
give it an appealing taste. However, at certain levels minerals,
just like man-made chemicals, are considered contaminants that can
make water unpalatable or even unsafe.
Some contaminants come from erosion of natural rock formations. Other contaminants are substances discharged from factories, applied to farmlands, or used by consumers in their homes and yards. Sources of contaminants might be in your neighborhood or might be many miles away. Your local water quality report tells which contaminants are in your drinking water, the levels at which they were found, and the actual or likely source of each contaminant.

Depending on your brand of filter, many of the harmful contaminants from your drinking water, will be filtered out. Most refrigerator water filters are similar in the amount of contaiminants they filter and the efficiency by which they reduce the level of the contaminants.
