Most Common Impurities Found In Tap Water

Let’s look at some of the common impurities present in tap water, and how they affect your health:
1) Biological contaminants
Biological contaminants are the most common impurities found in tap water. Also, they are one of the most harmful ones. Whether your tap water at home is groundwater or surface water, the chances are high that it contains different types of microorganisms.
Some of the common biological contaminants include bacteria, protozoans, parasites, and viruses. These microorganisms lead to health problems such as stomach cramps, diarrhea, vomiting, and headaches.
2) Physical impurities
Physical impurities present in tap water come from almost all types of sources. In most cases, tap water isn’t treated to remove physical impurities such as suspended solids and total dissolved solids (TDS). Sediments, fecal matter, salts, and other compounds are the most common physical impurities present in tap water; they often cause gastrointestinal illness and digestive disorders.
Using a water purifier with RO and TDS control will help you remove all the unwanted physical contaminants from the water while maintaining TDS at a healthy level. RO filters have fine pores which do not let foreign material to pass through them.
3) Chemical contaminants
Tap water is usually contaminated with chemicals which makes it unsafe for direct usage for household purposes. Tap water often contains harmful chemicals such as fluoride and chlorine which are added to partially remove microorganisms. Mercury and nitrate are two other chemicals that are commonly-present in tap water. Some of the common ways chemical contaminants enter water include atmospheric deposition, runoffs, and accidental spills. Chemical contaminants increase the risk of cancer, endocrine damage, and nervous system and reproductive health issues.
Ensuring water safety is one of the fundamentals of maintaining a good health for your family. By drinking contaminated water, you and your loved ones stand at the risk of several waterborne diseases such as cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and Hepatitis A and E.
