Used to disinfect water, but can form chemical byproducts (THMs) when reacting with organic matter. Often linked to taste, odour, and ongoing daily exposure through drinking and showering.

Metals such as lead, copper, and arsenic can enter water through pipes and infrastructure. Invisible to the eye, but associated with long-term exposure concerns when present over time.

Extremely persistent compounds that don’t break down easily and can accumulate over time. Increasingly detected in water sources and the focus of global concern around long-term exposure.

Tiny plastic particles now detected in water supplies worldwide. Their long-term impact is still being studied, but they are a growing focus in environmental and health research.

Agricultural chemicals that can enter waterways through runoff. Trace exposure over time has raised concerns around cumulative effects in drinking water.

Residual traces of medications that can pass through treatment systems. Present in very low levels, but increasingly studied for potential long-term exposure effects.

Fine particles that can enter water through ageing infrastructure or supply disruptions. May affect clarity and can carry additional contaminants into your water.

Compounds from algae blooms, such as geosmin, can affect the taste and smell of water. Under certain conditions, blooms may also introduce biological contaminants that have been associated with digestive discomfort or irritation in sensitive individuals.

Calcium and magnesium naturally present in water that contribute to hardness. Can cause scale buildup, affect appliances, and change how water feels on skin.
