Water Filtration Myths vs. Facts

Water Filtration Myths vs. Facts

There are many misconceptions about water filtration. Let us set the record straight.

Myth: Tap Water is Already Safe Enough

Fact: While tap water meets EPA minimums, those standards have not been comprehensively updated since 1974. The EWG identifies dozens of contaminants in Florida water that exceed health-based guidelines.

Myth: Pitcher Filters Are Good Enough

Fact: Pitcher filters only remove a limited range of contaminants and only treat drinking water. A whole-house system protects you at every water point.

Myth: Water Softeners Add Salt to Water

Fact: Pure Viva offers salt-free water softener systems that condition water without adding any sodium.
