Why Your Drinking Water Is Funky or Foul (and How to Fix It)

We all know that we need water to live: It’s one of the most necessary pieces of our existence. And for many people, they think very little about water while they drink it—it just is.

But take that same water and give it a less-than-desirable smell or taste, and most people feel quite differently. Unfortunately, the likelihood of water not tasting or smelling “right” is pretty high: Out of the 60,000 chemicals that can enter the drinking supply, only 91 of them are monitored, affecting millions of people.

It is often outside organisms that have gotten trapped into a water supply, or issues with how the water supply is delivered that ends up causing off-putting tastes and smells in water. Professionals can help narrow down the contaminants, and there are solutions for some of the problems. To learn more about what’s happening to your water, use the details in this graphic.
