Water Filtration

ISSUE:
After treatment, tap water in New Orleans meets or surpasses all federal and state drinking water quality standards. For those who want to ensure their water’s quality: there are some at-home filtration options available. Water filter pitchers or faucet mounts are commonly used. There are undersink water filters that attaches to the cold water pipe with its own separate faucet. To obtain the purest water quality, invest in a reverse osmosis filter, but this also filters out "good" minerals such as fluoride and wastes about five gallons for every one gallon of purified water produced. It is recommended you consider reverse osmosis only if you have specific contamination problems.
