WATER FILTERS: SIMPLE EFFECTIVE OPTIONS
WHAT’S IN YOUR WATER? Match the filter to the contaminants, if any, in your water as well as to your lifestyle.
A flood of new filters is making it easier than ever to remove impurities from your tap water. In fact, our tests found two Best Buys that cost less than $60. What’s at stake might be more than just good taste.
Want to know what’s in your water? One way to find out is to check your Consumer Confidence Report (CCR), which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires all water systems to provide their customers each year.
The reports aren’t the liveliest of documents, so you might be tempted to toss yours out unread. But that could be a mistake. Our recent analysis of CCRs from the 25 largest U.S. cities revealed that only three claimed no federal water-quality violations. Though none of the other 22 water systems were consistently unhealthy, all had some samples that contained significant quantities of contaminants--things like lead, chlorine, and E. coli. Some samples in Boston, for example, had lead levels more than 45 times the federal limit.
