Drinking water contamination is a serious problem. Tap water typically contains a number of harmful substances. The good news is that drinking water filter systems are an effective solution for removing dangerous compounds from the water supply.

Chlorine and Cancer: Chlorine consumption is believed to contribute to bladder, breast, and rectal cancers.

Lead: Consuming water contaminated with lead can cause stroke, kidney failure, and serious childhood development problems

Trichloroethylene (TCE): Ingestion of this chemical contributes to liver problems and places individuals at an increased risk of contracting certain types of cancer.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC): The term VOC is used to describe various types of dangers chemicals that end up in the water supply, many of which are carcinogenic and can damage both kidney and liver function when consumed.

Trihalomethane (THM): A byproduct of chlorination, consumption of THM that ends up in the water supply can lead to problems with kidney, liver, and nervous system functioning, in addition to being highly carcinogenic.
