Bacteria Bacteria are typically odorless, colorless, and tasteless and can be resposible for numerous health problems.

However, excessive levels can lead to dry skin and have been linked to cancer Iron Iron typically occures naturally in water and in levels above 0.3 ppm can cause red-orange staining on fixtures, plumbing, toilets, sinks, and on dishes and laundry Copper Copper occurs naturally in small amounts, but in levels above 1 ppm, it can poison red blood cells and cause jaundice, anemia, and other health problems Acidity (Low pH) Acidic water with a pH lower than 6.8 can be corrosive to both copper and galvanized plumbing and cause damage to water fixtures, especially hot water heaters Alkalinity (High pH) Alkaline water with a pH higher than than 10.0 (or 180 ppm) can cause dry skin conditions and typically has an unpleasant taste Hardness Hardness is generally determined by the presence of calcium and magnesium in the water. It is recommended to treat hardness levels above 3 grains per gallon (gpg), as it can cause scaly build-up on faucets and plumbing, shorten the lifespan of water-using appliances, and reduce the efficency of soaps and detergents Pesticides Pesticide contamination results from applications onto crop fields, seepage of contaminated surface water, accidental spills and leaks, and improper disposal.
