7 Everyday Toxins Hiding in Your Water (And How to Filter Them Out)

You can’t see them. You can’t taste them. But they might be in every glass you drink.

Even in countries like Australia, tap water can legally contain trace amounts of heavy metals, chlorine, fluoride, PFAS, and microplastics.

Here’s what you need to know — and how to protect your family.

🧪 7 Hidden Toxins in Tap Water

  1. Chlorine – disinfectant, can dry skin and irritate lungs

  2. Fluoride – controversial, linked to thyroid suppression

  3. Lead – from old pipes, highly toxic in small doses

  4. Copper – oxidises over time, affects liver and kidneys

  5. PFAS (“Forever Chemicals”) – linked to cancer & fertility issues

  6. Pesticides – run-off from agriculture and lawns

  7. Microplastics – from bottled water, pipes, and washing machines

💧 How to Filter Them Out

Not all filters are created equal.
