The Hidden Dangers in Tap Water

Even clear tap water can carry hidden contaminants. Learn what’s really in your water—and how Clearbrook filters remove them to keep your family safe.

Introduction

You turn on the tap and see clear water—but that doesn’t always mean it’s clean. Even in the United States, water quality and availability are under growing stress. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), many regions are increasingly vulnerable to water-quality degradation due to aging infrastructure, land-use changes, and contamination from industrial and agricultural runoff (USGS Water Availability and Use Science Program).

That means trace contaminants like lead, chlorine, fluoride, or PFAS “forever chemicals” can still find their way into household tap water. The good news: with proper filtration, you can remove them—completely.

What’s Hiding in Tap Water?

Even treated municipal water may contain more than you think. Studies have found that many U.S. water systems contain measurable levels of:
• Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic
• Chlorine and disinfection by-products used during treatment
• Fluoride, which some households prefer to avoid
• PFAS, persistent industrial chemicals linked to long-term health effects

Over time, these contaminants can accumulate in the body and pose risks to health—especially for children and vulnerable populations.

Why Filtration Is the Answer

Boiling or softening water doesn’t remove chemical contaminants or metals. Bottled water isn’t a sustainable fix either. The only lasting solution is advanced filtration—systems proven to eliminate the full spectrum of harmful substances.

That’s where Clearbrook makes the difference.

Each Clearbrook purifier uses proprietary multi-stage filtration media tested to remove up to 99.9% of contaminants, including heavy metals, chlorine, fluoride, VOCs, PFAS, and pharmaceutical residues. What remains is water that’s genuinely clean, pure, and safe for everyday use.

Peace of Mind, Every Time You Turn on the Tap

From city apartments to rural wells, Clearbrook systems give families confidence that every drop is safe. With no electricity or chemicals required, Clearbrook filters deliver protection that’s as dependable as it is powerful—so you can drink, cook, and live without worry.

Because peace of mind shouldn’t come in a bottle—it should come straight from your faucet.

The Bottom Line

Clear water isn’t always clean water—but Clearbrook makes sure it is.

Our systems remove the hidden dangers the USGS warns are increasingly affecting U.S. water supplies, giving you and your family what you deserve: pure, safe water from the source.
