Clear Water Can Be Deceiving

Your tap water may contain emerging contaminants like microplastics, PFAS 'forever chemicals,' and pharmaceuticals, alongside legacy issues like lead from aging plumbing. Standard pitcher and fridge filters often lack the advanced technology needed to fully remove these modern, persistent pollutants.remove.

Important: Water quality can vary home to home—regardless of age—because plumbing materials, usage, and local distribution systems all play a role.

No cost, no pressure. A licensed water specialist reviews your results and confirms what’s really in your home’s water.

What Your Result Is Flagging

Your Water Quiz Results considers known local water issues but a home's water can vary based on risk zones, home age, plumbing type, and usage patterns. Many Colorado home's are experience the following:

PFAS & Chemicals

Also known as "Forever Chemicals," PFAS are industrial compounds used in non-stick pans, firefighting foam, and stain-resistant fabrics.

  • Linked to hormone disruption and immune issues
  • Extremely difficult for the body to eliminate
  • Standard pitcher and fridge filters are not rated for PFAS removal

Lead & Heavy Metals

Older Colorado homes often still rely on legacy copper lines, solder joints, and galvanized plumbing that can leach metals over time.

  • Lead exposure is especially dangerous for children and pregnant women
  • Metals accumulate in the body over years, not days
  • Cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted in most cases

Disinfection Byproducts

Chlorine and chloramine are necessary to kill pathogens, but they can react with organic material to form potentially harmful byproducts.

  • Associated with increased lifetime cancer risk
  • Affect taste and odor—but risk remains even when taste seems acceptable
  • Require specific filtration media to reduce effectively

Knowing What's In Your Water is Important

Most Colorado families trust their municipal water and basic filters for daily needs. However, as our understanding of emerging contaminants evolves, so does the need for more advanced protection. Many of today’s most persistent substances—like PFAS 'forever chemicals,' microplastics, and trace pharmaceuticals—are invisible and odorless, often requiring more than a standard pitcher or fridge filter to fully address.

PFAS "Forever Chemicals" have been linked to cancer, hormone disruption, and immune issues. Once they enter your body, they’re extremely slow to leave. Lead from older Colorado plumbing can flake or leach into water at the tap—especially in homes with legacy copper and solder joints.

The Gap Between Pitcher Filters and Professional Protection

Most store-bought filters are certified for taste and odor only. They make the water more pleasant, but leave behind many of the concerning contaminants
