Clean Water Insights

Bottled water may seem convenient, but it’s expensive, environmentally harmful, and often no better than tap water. Discover why home water filtration systems from Think Water Store are the smarter choice for cost savings, sustainability, and superior water quality. Make the switch to clean, eco-friendly water today.

Federal drinking water standards often fall short of protecting public health, especially for vulnerable populations like infants and pregnant women. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has developed science-based benchmarks that prioritize health over compromise, addressing contaminants such as nitrate, PFAS, and atrazine. These no-compromise standards reveal the hidden risks in what we consider 'safe' drinking water and advocate for stronger protections to ensure clean water for all.

Access to safe drinking water is still out of reach for millions of Americans, with contaminants like lead, arsenic, and PFAS chemicals present in water supplies across the country. Low-income and underserved communities are disproportionately affected, facing higher health risks from polluted water. Solving this issue requires updated federal standards, increased funding, and a commitment to environmental equity to ensure clean water for all. Learn more about the current challenges and the steps needed to make safe drinking water a reality for every American.

Millions of Americans are unknowingly exposed to elevated levels of nitrate in their drinking water—a pollutant linked to cancer and dangerous health risks for infants. Recent findings reveal that nearly 60 million people, from major urban centers to smaller towns, are impacted by nitrate contamination primarily due to agricultural runoff. As the scale of this problem grows, it's crucial to understand how nitrate reaches our water systems, the associated health risks, and what can be done to safeguard public health.
