The Hidden Danger from Our Tap Water
Cancer
81% of water systems have contaminants linked to cancer.
Cognitive Decline
Microplastics in drinking water are linked to impaired brain function and memory.
Hormone Disruption
Chemicals in tap water can interfere with thyroid function and hormonal balance.
Fertility Issues
Even low levels of exposure to chromium-6 can cause problems with reproduction.
Developmental Delays
As much as one-fifth of a child’s exposure to lead comes from drinking water.
Digestive Issues
Chlorine byproducts can disrupt gut health and digestive function.
According to the Environmental Working Group.
Contaminants Lurking in Your Water
3 out 4 homes in the U.S. have tap water containing contaminants that exceed safe water limits, according to the Environmental Working Group.
Forever Chemicals
Toxic ‘forever chemicals’ like PFOA & PFOS are linked to cancer, hormone disruption, and organ damage
Microplastics
Plastic particles small enough cross the blood-brain barrier and potentially disrupt hormones
Arsenic
A known carcinogen found in water nationwide—linked to multiple cancer types
Lead
Leaches from old pipes; even low exposure can harm brain development in children
Chlorine & Chloramines
Used to disinfect water, but can affect taste and pose health risks in high doses
Nitrates & Nitrites
From farm runoff; high levels raise cancer risk and cause infant oxygen issues
What’s In Your Tap Water?
Millions of Americans are drinking contaminated water with substances that can harm their health, often without knowing it.
Is it Safe to Drink Out of Plastic Water Bottles?
“Microplastics have been found in the brain, the heart, even reproductive organs—turning bacteria into antibiotic resistant superbugs.
If you’re still going out and buying these crates of bottled water all the time, you got to stop.”

Frequently Asked Questions
The safest option is properly filtered water using reverse osmosis or multi-stage purification systems that remove the widest range of contaminants—including forever chemicals, heavy metals, and microplastics. Whether you choose AquaTru or another certified system, the key is understanding what’s in your water and using filtration technology that actually addresses those specific threats.
Enter your zip code in our water quality checker above to get an instant report on contaminants detected in your local water supply. Most Americans are surprised to learn their “safe” tap water contains dozens of harmful substances.
No. Municipal water treatment makes water “safe enough” by legal standards, but doesn’t remove forever chemicals, many pharmaceuticals, microplastics, chromium-6, or hundreds of industrial and agricultural chemicals. Legal limits aren’t the same as health-protective limits.
Many pitcher filters only remove chlorine, copper, and cadmium. They don’t touch forever chemicals, microplastics, arsenic, pharmaceuticals, or the majority of the 320+ contaminants found in U.S. tap water. If it’s in your tap water report, chances are your pitcher isn’t removing it.
Fridge filters use basic carbon filtration designed mainly for taste and odor. They can’t remove dissolved contaminants like forever chemicals, arsenic, chromium-6, or microplastics because these require advanced filtration like reverse osmosis. You’re getting better-tasting water, but many of the most dangerous contaminants pass through.
Carbon filters absorb some chemicals and improve taste, but can’t remove dissolved solids or particles smaller than their pore size. Reverse osmosis physically blocks contaminants at the molecular level—removing up to 99.9% of dissolved metals, chemicals, and microplastics that carbon filters miss entirely.
