The Truth About Tap Water
Tap water might seem harmless—but often, it’s anything but. From chemical disinfectants to organic matter, rust, sediment, and even trace pharmaceuticals, the water you use every day could be slowly impacting your health.
At Wellness Magnified, we believe you deserve to know what’s in your water—and how to protect yourself.
What’s Really in Tap Water?
Many municipal water systems meet federal guidelines, but that doesn’t mean the water is clean or safe. Common contaminants include:
-
Chlorine & chloramines
-
Fluoride
-
VOCs (volatile organic compounds)
-
Pesticides & herbicides
-
Heavy metals (lead, arsenic, mercury)
-
Microplastics
-
Bacteria & organic matter
-
Pharmaceuticals & hormones
And it gets worse if your home has old pipes, rust, or scale buildup.
Why Water Softeners Alone Aren’t Enough
You may have installed a water softener to combat hard water… but here’s what most people don’t realize:
-
Most softeners are only rated up to 7 grains per gallon of hardness
-
Internal ionizers get overwhelmed by calcium and scale build up
-
If left unchecked, acidic water eats through copper and even stainless steel pipes—from the outside in
-
You can experience complete softener failure without knowing it until damage occurs
Result: You might think you’re protected—but your water is still harming your pipes, your appliances… and potentially, your health.
The Link Between Water Contaminants & Illness
Prolonged exposure to contaminated water has been linked to various health issues, including:
-
Skin irritation & eczema
-
Hormonal disruption
-
Reproductive issues
-
Neurological effects in children
-
Certain cancers (especially bladder, colon, and breast)
-
Chronic inflammation and immune system stress
Clean water isn’t a luxury—it’s a health essential.
