What is Water Quality?

Water quality refers to how sustainable your water is, for all of its uses. From drinking water to cooking and cleaning with it, it’s something that can’t be taken for granted. Of course, it’s easy to think that your water is top-quality: especially when it looks, smells and tastes okay. 

The truth is, though, there are many harmful contaminants that are virtually undetectable/can’t be stopped by fridge or water pitcher filters. With tap water drinking, this can lead to everything from the most basic stomach issues to the development of chronic diseases. Here’s what you need to know about what determines water quality, how it’s measured and why water quality analysis is important.
