What Is Drinking Water?
While the obvious definition for “drinking water” is the water that we drink as a beverage, we often forget about the other fundamental definition -- the water that we use when preparing other beverages and food, such as ice cubes, coffee, ice tea, soups, pasta, vegetables or even baby formula. If you start with great-tasting, crystal clear water, everything taste better! |

Why treat Drinking Water?
The United States has one of the safest water supplies in the world. However, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA), national statistics don't tell you specifically about the quality and safety of the water coming out of your tap. That's because drinking water quality varies from place to place, depending on the condition of the source water from which it is drawn and the treatment it receives.
To ensure that your drinking water is as healthy for you as possible, the EPA suggests you review the annual short report (called a consumer confidence report) from your water supplier that tells you the source of your water and what's in it.
You can also visit the Common Water Problems section on our website and our Problem Identifier to identify aesthetic issues that affect the smell, taste, feel and look of your water, such as: |
- Soap scum in sinks and bathtubs, or an abrasive texture to water when washing or residual left in the sink
- Musty or rotten egg odor
- Brownish, reddish or yellowish color, or cloudiness
- Salty or brackish water, or metallic taste

| Whether your concern is contaminants or aesthetics, treating your water will help you turn your water back into the clear, refreshing beverage it was intended to be. |
