Many city water customers assume that because their water is treated at a municipal plant, it is free of contaminants. In reality, water can pick up chlorine byproducts, heavy metals, or even \u201cforever chemicals\u201d (PFAS) by the time it reaches your home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We know it might sound like we\u2019re just here to sell you a test kit, but our goal is to help you understand what\u2019s really in your water first.
