Frequently Asked Questions about ZIP 97439 Tap Water

What's in ZIP 97439 tap water?

ZIP 97439 has 6 detected contaminants below EPA limits in this dataset. Chromium measured closest to its guideline.

Will boiling ZIP 97439 tap water remove Chromium?

Boiling tap water can kill many pathogens, but it does not remove most chemical contaminants tracked in EPA monitoring. Several dissolved contaminants can even concentrate as water evaporates. For the chemical contaminants reported in ZIP 97439, a certified filter is more reliable.

Do basic pitcher filters remove Chromium?

Basic pitcher filters are typically rated for chlorine, taste, and odor (NSF/ANSI 42), not for the broader list of contaminants tracked in EPA monitoring. Match the certification (NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 58, or P473) to the specific compounds listed in this report before assuming a filter helps.
