If you live in the metro area and are unsure what the water quality is in your home, view the latest Portland Water Quality Report. If you’d rather have your water tested, contact the local water-testing lab to help identify any contaminants in your water supply.
Here are some common signs that you may need a water filter:
- Bad Taste or Odor: Unpleasant tastes or smells indicate filter inefficiency or the need for a new system.
- Visible Sediment: Particles in your water suggest the current filter isn’t working properly.
- Decreased Water Pressure: Clogged filters can reduce water flow and pressure.
- Frequent Health Issues: Unexplained illnesses might be related to contaminated water.
