Is your tap water safe to drink? ย I recently received a detailed in-home water testing kit and I have to tell you that I was a little bit nervous about what I’d find in my tap water. ย I took a deep breath and took the plunge.
After performing all the tests within that one kit, I was relieved to find that my tap water tested “OK” in every area.
But . . . I don’t drink it. ย Ever. ย Why? ย Because it tastes and smells like chlorine. ย I was very surprised that it tested in the acceptable range.
My refrigerator has a water filter, but filling a glass with water seems to take forever, so I’m constantly buying cases of bottled water. ย I’ve never really liked any of the filtration pitchers, etc. that I’ve tried. ย Until . . .
Pfister Faucets recently introduced Xtract. ย It’s a filtration system that is integrated into a stylish Pfister pull-down kitchen faucet.
The high-flow dual filter system of Xtract delivers great-tasting filtered water and tap water from a single faucet. Filtered water is delivered two times faster than typical water filtration products and the filtration mode is integrated into the handle, eliminating the need for a filter pitcher or separate drinking water faucet.
Xtract uses GEยฎ 2X High Flow Filtration which reduces contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, chlorine, and lead, select pesticides, herbicides and insecticides. ย My favorite is that it also removes the chlorine taste and odor. ย
Another big plus for me is that you can’t even tell that there’s a filtration system in the kitchen faucet. ย It’s sleek, modern and really pretty. ย You can see photos of the Clarify faucet here.
The list price for the Clarify With Xtractโข is $442.67. ย Once you do the math, you’ll find that the faucet pays for itself vs. buying bottled water for 6 months for an average family of 4.
The Clarify With Xtractโข 1-Handle, Pull- Down Kitchen Faucet is available exclusively at Home Depot in select stores and online. ย Watch this funny video for more info!
Do you know the purity of the water that comes out of your tap? Is it completely safe to drink?
