What is Water Quality?
Water Quality is a measure of how suitable water is for drinking, irrigation, and other use. Standards of water quality are based on the potential health risks that may be associated with exposure to poor quality water. Common contaminants include aluminum, ammonia, arsenic, barium, cadmium, chloramine, chromium, copper, fluoride, bacteria and viruses, lead, nitrates and nitrites, mercury, perchlorate, radium, selenium, silver and uranium. A variety of products are available to help monitor and improve water quality.
Although water is apart of our everyday lives, there is a lot of information that gets overlooked. High levels of contaminants such as lead and arsenic can lead to diseases that severely alter someone’s health. A large majority of Americans get their water from community water systems. These systems are required to meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards under the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Softened water treatment can assure your home or business receives the highest quality of water.
