What Is In My Drinking Water?

Curious about what's in your drinking water? No matter where your water comes from, it could contain a range of contaminants, from heavy metals, like lead and iron, to chlorine, chloramines, and more. If you're wondering "Is my drinking water safe?" take a look at the chart below to see some of the most common water complaints, their causes and effects, and your treatment options.

At US Water Systems, we strongly recommend running a complete water analysis to find out what's really in your water. This is important because many serious water problems don't have any obvious symptoms until they start damaging your health. Our Comprehensive Lab Water Test can be used to analyze your water for more than 40 different contaminants, including total dissolved solids (TDS), hardness, chloride, and lead.
