Keep Contaminants Out: A Guide to Safer Drinking Water for Your Home

Water is essential to our daily lives, but not all water is safe. Contaminants can enter your home, potentially risking your family’s health. Fortunately, protecting your family from harmful water contaminants doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are some simple ways to ensure your water is safe and clean:

A high-quality water filtration system can remove contaminants like chlorine, lead, bacteria, and pesticides. Whether a whole-house or point-of-use filter, a system can provide your family with clean, safe water.

Regular water testing helps identify harmful substances in your water supply. MSP offers water testing services to detect contaminants like lead, bacteria, and hard minerals, allowing you to address issues early.

Old plumbing systems can leach harmful substances like lead into your water. To protect your family's health, inspect and maintain your plumbing regularly and replace old pipes with safer materials.

Review your municipal water quality reports annually to stay informed about potential contaminants. If issues are found, consider installing a filtration system or using a water purifier for drinking water.

Hard water can cause mineral buildup in appliances and dry skin. Installing a water softener can help reduce these effects and improve the overall quality of your water.
