Water Filtration Systems
You wake up cheerfully one day, go over to your sink, grab some water, and even if you were raised with the best manners, you'd have spat out whatever is masquerading as drinking water immediately. Why does your tap water taste so bad? Most importantly, how can you fix it and enjoy water from your sink? Make yourself a cup of tea (maybe use bottled water for now) and read on to discover all about the best under sink water filters!
Why Does Your Tap Water Taste Bad?
Bad tasting tap water usually isn't a health concern, but it's a taste concern. What are your taste buds picking up, and what does it mean?
- Chlorine and Other Chemicals: Most water supplies are disinfected using chlorine. Chlorine is fantastic at preventing bacterial growth and keeping us safe and healthy. However, the lingering smell and taste of chemicals aren't pleasant.
- Fish and Other Musty Smells: Likely because Spring has sprung and algae blooming in the water source. Alternatively, bacteria is growing in the water system or your sink. Don't worry; this is most likely harmless!
- Bitter: Medicinal, bitter tastes in tap water are often due to corroding copper pipes. Copper is toxic to aquarium fish and could turn your pretty blonde locks an unsightly shade of green.
- Metallic: Say hello to zinc, iron and manganese in your water. The presence of these affects the water's taste, and it can also stain your plumbing and cause mineral build up in water heaters. Not an ideal situation!
