The answer is always <strong>yes<\/strong>. The amount of chemicals commonly found in tap water is alarming. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) there are over 2,000 contaminants that could be in your tap water. Some of the most dangerous tap water chemicals are:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Lead<\/em>: Commonly entering tap water through corroded pipes, lead can cause great harm to your health. According to some studies, lead in drinking water can be especially dangerous to children and pregnant mothers. Studies through the years have also shown that lead poisoning can cause developmental delays and learning disorders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Cryptosporidium<\/em> and<em> Giardia<\/em>: Many point to these common types of protozoa for the cause of gastro-intestinal diseases. These contaminants will almost certainly end up in the water system when there has been a sanitation breakdown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Chlorine<\/em>: Perhaps the most controversial of the water contaminants, it also could be the most prevalent chemical found in the water system. It is commonly used for sanitation purposes to kill off any harmful bacteria in the water supply. However, according to healthguidance.org, it has recently been linked to some cancers such as breast cancer, bladder cancer and rectal cancers.<\/p>\n<p><b>What can you do to avoid these problems?<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It may seem like perfect sense to turn to bottled water, in fact, millions do every year. However, there are a myriad of issues with bottled water. The plastic that many brands of bottled water are shipped in contain harmful chemicals, such as BPA. Once these chemicals come in contact with the water inside the bottle, the chemicals become absorbed by the water. Once you drink it, you are ingesting harmful chemicals to your body. Even more so, bottled water is essentially tap water in a bottle. In fact, there are harsher restrictions against the water coming from your local water supplier than there is on bottled water companies. The best solution to avoid these problems is through the use of water filtration. Water filters act as an important barrier between you and the over 2,000 known chemicals in drinking water. Without this \u201croad block\u201d in place, harmful contaminants will have free access to your body including the organs, intestinal tract, and more.<\/p>\n<p><b>What type of tap water filters should you use?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Find Your<strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/Refrigerator-Water-Filters-cat.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\">Refrigerator Water Filter<\/span><\/a>!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Everpure-1223077-Filter.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-16951\" alt=\"Everpure-1223077-Filter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Everpure-1223077-Filter.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Everpure-1223077-Filter.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.filtersfast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Everpure-1223077-Filter-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This largely depends on the type of chemicals in your drinking water.
