Are you concerned about the water quality in your home, or do you yearn for better tasting water from your kitchen faucet?

First, consider whether you really need a water purification system in your home. More than 90 percent of the water supply in the United States is safe to drink from the tap, according to the Environment Protection Agency (EPA).

However, some people may need to consider a water purification system to improve water quality in their homes for health safety reasons, including those who have:

• A high level of lead in their water, as shown by water testing
• A high level of a contaminant in their water, such as radon in water from a well
• An extremely compromised immune system, such as those with HIV or who are on chemotherapy

Water purification systems can help to eliminate contaminants that can make you sick or affect the taste or feel of your water supply. Water filter systems may be able to remove:

• Microbes, including viruses, bacteria, and parasites, such as cryptosporidium and giardia
• Lead
• Radon
• Radium
• Nitrates
• Arsenic
• Pesticides
• Byproducts of the disinfection process
