Most people assume that because municipal city water meets federal baseline safety standards, it is completely pure. However, "safe" water and "pure" water are two completely different things.City water plants do an excellent job of removing deadly pathogens and bacteria, but the treatment process itself leaves behind chemical traces that affect your family’s health, skin, and home.
The Reality of South Florida City Water
To keep water safe as it travels miles through aging underground pipes to your home, cities must load the supply with disinfectants.
- Chlorine and Chloramines: Municipalities use high levels of chlorine to kill bacteria. This chemical strips the natural oils from your skin and hair, leaving you itchy after showers, and gives your tap water a chemical, pool-like taste.
- Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): City plants do not filter out dissolved minerals, heavy metals, agricultural fertilizer runoff, or microplastics. These trace compounds remain suspended in your drinking water
The Power of Pure Water
Pure water is water that has gone through an additional multi-stage filtration process at your home's point of entry to remove everything the city leaves behind.
