What microplastics and heavy metals removal looks like in Spring Valley
Spring Valley sits in the interior of the county and receives water that travels a long way through aging infrastructure before reaching the tap. Lead, chromium-6, arsenic, and microplastics are all documented concerns in California's older water systems, and a certified under-sink filter or RO system addresses these at the point of use before drinking or cooking. The free in-home test identifies your specific baseline.

Spring Valley sits in the interior of the county and receives water that travels a long way through aging infrastructure before reaching the tap.
Are microplastics in San Diego tap water?
Microplastics have been found in municipal water supplies in numerous studies. San Diego has not published specific tap water microplastic data, but the research suggests treated municipal water broadly contains detectable microplastic particles. The health implications are still being studied. What we can do is install certified filtration that reduces particulate contamination at the tap.
