• Chlorine and chloramines – added as disinfectants, but linked to skin irritation and potential long-term effects when consumed regularly.

• Lead – can leach from aging pipes and cause developmental issues, especially in children.

• PFAS (forever chemicals) – found in nonstick cookware and industrial runoff; they persist in the body and have been linked to hormone disruption and immune dysfunction.

• Pesticide and pharmaceutical residues – trace amounts enter water supplies from agricultural runoff and wastewater.

• Microorganisms and pathogens – like E. coli and Giardia, which can slip through or overwhelm municipal filtration systems.escription text goes here

• Digestive system – causing gut imbalances and nutrient malabsorption.

• Immune health – by exposing the body to immune-disrupting chemicals like chlorine byproducts or heavy metals.

• Skin and respiratory health – inhaling steam during showers or absorbing contaminants through the skin can trigger irritation or long-term exposure risks.

• Endocrine system – certain contaminants (like BPA and PFAS) can mimic or block hormones.

• Energy and cognition – dehydration or low-mineral water may affect mental clarity and fatigue levels.

Municipal water meets safety standards but may not be truly healthy. Key differences…

• "Safe" means legal, not optimal. Most municipal standards are outdated and based on what’s tolerable in the short term, not what promotes lifelong wellness.

• Disinfection ≠ purity. Chlorine, fluoride, and other additives are used to kill pathogens, but they introduce their own health risks.

• Aging infrastructure. Old pipes, water main breaks, and outdated treatment plants increase the risk of contamination, even if water leaves the plant clean.

• No customization. Municipal water doesn’t account for your home’s unique plumbing, location, or family health concerns.
