Why Filtration Matters

As people become more aware of the importance of water quality, the need for safer, healthier water solutions is greater than ever. What we often don’t see in the water flowing from our kitchen taps is the range of contaminants that could affect our health. At Greenfield Water Solutions, we’re dedicated to helping families reduce these contaminants through our natural filtration systems, which include both gravity feed systems and point-of-use filters designed for your kitchen.

Common Contaminants Found in Water

Even seemingly clean water can contain harmful substances. Here are some of the most common contaminants found in tap water:

• Microplastics: These tiny plastic particles come from the breakdown of larger plastics and can enter the water supply. Growing evidence suggests that ingesting microplastics may pose health risks.
• Heavy Metals: Metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic can contaminate water through old pipes or industrial runoff. Long-term exposure to heavy metals can have serious health effects, especially for children.
• Chlorine and Chloramine: Commonly used as disinfectants, chlorine and chloramine can remain in tap water, affecting its taste and potentially impacting health with prolonged exposure.
• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): VOCs are industrial and agricultural chemicals that can seep into water supplies, leading to health risks ranging from respiratory irritation to cancer.
• PFAS (Including PFOA and PFOS): These “forever chemicals” are notorious for their persistence in the environment and their link to a variety of health concerns, including cancer and developmental issues.

The Importance of Contaminant Reduction

When it comes to improving water quality, the goal isn’t to promise “contaminant-free” water but to reduce harmful substances to safer levels. At Greenfield Water Solutions, our filtration systems focus on reducing contaminants to ensure safer and healthier water for your family, while retaining natural minerals that are beneficial for your health.

Our Kitchen Filtration Solutions

We offer a range of kitchen filtration solutions designed to meet the growing demand for safer water. These include point-of-use filtration systems and gravity feed filters, both of which provide effective contaminant reduction.

• Point-of-Use Filtration Systems: These systems are installed at your kitchen sink, targeting the water used for drinking and cooking. They reduce a variety of contaminants while maintaining the natural minerals your body needs.
• Gravity Feed Filters: For those seeking a convenient and eco-friendly option, our gravity feed filters offer a non-pressurized, natural filtration method. These systems are ideal for kitchens where space is limited or plumbing is a challenge, providing a practical solution that doesn’t require electricity. Additionally, we provide replacement gravity feed filters compatible with popular systems like Berkey, ensuring your existing system continues to deliver safer, healthier water.

Both options utilize natural filtration materials and methods, offering a balance between contaminant reduction and eco-conscious water treatment.

As we become more aware of the contaminants in our water, it’s essential to take steps toward reducing harmful substances. With Greenfield Water Solutions’ range of kitchen filtration products, including point-of-use and gravity feed filters, you can trust that your family will have access to safer, healthier water.
