Why Drinking Water Matters
Water is part of your daily life. You use it to cook, clean, make coffee, and—most importantly—stay hydrated. But not all water is the same. Tap water can carry unwanted things like:
Chlorine
Chlorine, an additive in drinking water, can cause your water to have an odd taste and smell.
Lead or Copper
Lead piping can deteriorate over time, causing water to contain contaminants from both inside and outside.
Hard Water Minerals
Hard water minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, can cause scale to build up on surfaces and inside appliances, resulting in damage.

Hard Water
When water travels through the ground, it picks up minerals like calcium and magnesium. These minerals dissolve in water and make water hard. Hard water can cause problems for both you and your home. If your water is even slightly hard your water-using appliances can be damaged by scale buildup shortening their lifespan. Hard water also stains sinks and showers and leaves hard water spots on dishes and silverware. It can also affect you. Your skin can dry out when you bathe and wash your hands. Your hair can become dull and brittle, causing it to tangle and become more difficult to manage.
Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon. If your water measures at one grain per gallon of hardness, it is hard. Water 10 grains per gallon or more is considered very hard.
Water Hardness Table

Groundwater Contamination
Groundwater contamination occurs when harmful substances seep into the soil and reach underground aquifers, which supply water to public wells. Sources of contamination include agricultural runoff, leaking underground storage tanks, septic system failures, and improper disposal of industrial or household chemicals. Fertilizers and pesticides used on farms can leach through the soil, while older fuel tanks may corrode and release toxins like benzene into the water. Natural elements such as arsenic or radon can also dissolve into groundwater from surrounding rocks. Since groundwater moves slowly, contaminants can remain in the water supply for years, challenging detection and cleanup. In Delaware, factories in the past have disposed of waste improperly, contaminating the watersheds and leading to risk associated with this.
If you suspect that your water could be contaminated, the best solution for you and other homes in Delaware may be a Kinetico K5 Drinking Water Station With VOC Guard. Our flagship reverse osmosis system uses a semi-permeable membrane to remove contaminants, along with a variety of filters that tailor the unit to your family's water needs.
