CONTAMINANT RESOURCES This webpage is dedicated to provide you with information about drinking water contaminants. Some contaminants are not a problem at all, some are simply a nuisance, while other contaminants are genuine health hazards. Contaminants on this spreadsheet are placed into their respective group (noted under 'Contaminant Type') - Bacteria, Physical Properties, In-Organics, Metals, Volatile Organics and Semi-Volatile Organics. Contaminants are listed alphabetically, from top to bottom (inside of each group). Scroll down to your contaminant of interest. Read across the respective contaminant’s row to find information that may be helpful to you (including links to possible solutions for drinking water problems). Our goal is for everyone to experience, clean/safe drinking water.
Note 1: MCL's are the Maximum Contamination Levels for drinking water and are set by the Federal EPA. MCL's are guidelines that are applicable and enforceable to Public Water Utilities. Not all contaminants have MCL's. If the contaminant has an MCL, we have provided a link that will take you directly to the EPA's website, where you can view the respective MCL. Note 2: MCLG's are the Maximum Contamination Level Goals for drinking water and are assigned by the Federal EPA. MCLG's are "goals" that we should all strive for when consuming drinking water, from any water supply. Not all contaminants have been assigned MCLG's. If the contaminant has an MCLG, we have provided a link that will take you directly to the EPA's website, where you can view the respective MCLG. Note 3: Drinking water that has any level of a specific contaminant, may be unhealthy to some. Drinking water that has contaminant levels outside of the EPA's Maximum Contamination Level Goals, are considered unhealthy to all. Note 4: Extensive research has been performed for this webpage. Criteria contained herein should be used for informational purposes only. When making life-choices for you and others, you should consult with the corresponding professionals – Medical Doctors for health issues, Water-Treatment Professionals for water-treatment questions and Drinking Water Testing Professionals for drinking water testing needs.

Bacteria	Total Coliform	Coliforms are bacteria that are always present in the digestive tracts of animals, including humans, and are found in their wastes. They are also found in plant and soil material. Coliforms are relatively easy to identify, are usually present in larger numbers than more dangerous pathogens, and respond to the environment, wastewater treatment, and water treatment similarly to many pathogens. Most coliform bacteria do not cause disease.  However, they can contribute to gastrointestinal unrest such as but not limited to stomach cramps and diareha. Coliform Bacteria (including E. coli) can find their way into our drinking water supplies, especially private wells.  It is recommended that owners of private wells test their water supplies 2-4 times/year, for Bacteria.

Physical Properties	Alkalinity as CaCO3	Alkalinity is a measure of the acid-neutralizing capacity of water. It is mostly reported as equivalents of calcium carbonate. It is measured as a CaCO3 so that the measurements of different samples can be compared to each other when performing calculations. It is a great compound to compare the acidity and basicity of every other compound. Alkalinity prevents changes in the acidity level of water and is very important for fish and consumption.

Physical Properties	Carbonate	Carbonate is a salt of carbonic acid. High concentrations of carbonates in water increases the SAR (Sodium Absorbtion Ratio) index. When carbonates mix with calcium and magnesium it creates calcium carbonate or magnesium carbonate. When this mixture interacts with soil and water, it decreases relative to sodium and the SAR index increases. This causes an increase in the pH and makes the water unsuitable. Too much intake can lead to nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite.	(--)	Resource 1		Safe Home® PREMIUM		Safe Home® Pro (50)
Physical Properties	Conductivity	Conductivity is the ability or power to conduct or transmit heat, electricity, or sound. Pure water is not a good conductor. The amount of dissolved ions in water increases its ability to conduct. If water is conductive, that means there are ions present such as but not limited to sodium, chloride, or fluoride. An increased number of  Total Dissolved Solids can make cause damage in the environment, limit drinking water for livestock, and cause corrosion.	(--)	Resource 1		Safe Home® PREMIUM		Safe Home® Pro (50)
Physical Properties	Hardness as CaCO3	Hardness is caused by calcium and magnesium salts. The salts are dissolved from geologic deposits that caries water. The length of time water is exposed to these minerals determines the amount of hardness there will be. Hard water forms scale, which is usually calcium carbonate. It leaves water spots on doors, silverware, or glassware. When it is inside water pipes, it reduces the water pipe’s carrying capacity. As a CaCO3, water should have a hardness less than 75 to 85 mg/l. Too much intake of hard water (particularly above the Federal MCL's) can lead to health problems such as but not limited to osteoporosis, hypertension, kidney stones, colorectal cancer, and coronary artery disease.	Levels	Resource 1		Safe Home® PREMIUM		Safe Home® Pro (50)
Physical Properties	Langlier Index	The Langlier Index is used as an indicator to determine the amount of saturation of calcium carbonate in water. It is used to control corrosion and deposition of scale. It is calculated using pH, alkalinity, calcium concentration, total dissolved solids, and water temperature of the given sample collected. If the index is negative, then the water is under saturated with calcium carbonate and will be corrosive. If it is positive, water is over saturated with calcium carbonate and will deposit calcium carbonate forming scales in the distribution system. If it is close to zero, water is just saturated with calcium carbonate and will not be corrosive or scale forming.  A Langlier Index between -1.0 and +1.0 is considered optimum.

Physical Properties	pH	pH measures how acidic or basic the water is. pH ranges from 0-14, with 7 being neutral. If the pH greater than 7, then it is basic.  Less than 7 means it is acidic. pH is a good indicator of how water changes chemically. High pH causes a bitter taste in water and water pipes can become encrusted with deposits. If pH is low, water will corrode and dissolve metals and other substances that can be detrimental to health.  The ideal range for pH in drinking water set by the EPA, is 6.5 - 8.5.

Physical Properties	Ryznar Index	This is another index that assists in the determination of how aggressive your water is (or not).  The Ryznar Index measures scaling in water systems.  (RI) actually quantifies the relationship between calcium carbonate saturation and scale formation.  A Ryznar Index greater than 8 means water is extremely aggressive. The ideal Ryznar Index is less than 5.	(--)	Resource 1	Resource 2	Safe Home® PREMIUM		Safe Home® Pro (50)
Physical Properties	Tannin/Lignin	Tannins are organic matter in water which comes from decayed vegetation or animal matter. They are primarily in surface waters (rivers, lakes, streams and back-waters such as swamps. They cause a yellow, yellow/brownish tinge to the water. Lignins are also organic matter that comes from decomposing elements of dead vegetation. Both Tannin & Lignin are known to deplete oxygen in the water and contribute to the problem of acid water. Well water supplies that are under the influence of surface waters can be high in Tannin/Lignin (especially during flood conditions).	(--)	Resource 1		Safe Home® PREMIUM		Safe Home® Pro (50)
Physical Properties	TDS (total dissolved solids)	TDS stands for total dissolved solids. These are the amount of mobile charged ions in a volume of water. The EPA has set an MCL of 500 ppm for TDS. When it exceeds the MCL, it is deemed unfit for human consumption. High levels of TDS are caused due to excessive amounts of specific ions such as but not limited to potassium, chlorides, and sodium. High TDS can leave a bitter, salty, or metallic taste.  High TDS levels can also contribute to headaches, nausea, or vomiting.	Levels	Resource 1	Resource 2	Safe Home® SELECT		Safe Home® Pro (15)
Physical Properties	Turbidity	Turbidity is the murkiness or haziness of a fluid that is caused by numerous types of particles present in the water source.  The nature of these particles can originate from but are not limited to waste discharge, sediments from erosion, high concentrations of specific ions or organic matter.  It is a key test in water quality.  Most drinking water ranges from 0-5 NTU's (National Turbidity Units).  Eliminating turbidity helps disinfect the water for drinking purposes.
