Is tap water safe to drink in New Jersey?

New Jersey tap water meets federal legal standards, but a News21 analysis of EPA violation records (2017) found that as many as 63 million Americans may have been exposed to potentially unsafe water at least once over a decade, including contaminants such as lead, PFAS, chlorine byproducts and nitrates. Some NJ areas may have elevated PFAS levels. A free in-home water test is the only way to know what could be in your specific home's water.

What contaminants are found in New Jersey water?

Potential contaminants that may be found in some NJ tap water include PFAS (forever chemicals), lead from old pipes, chlorine and chloramines, nitrates from agricultural runoff, iron, manganese, and hard water minerals. Communities near industrial areas like Newark, Paterson, and Elizabeth may show elevated levels of certain heavy metals according to environmental studies.

What is the best water filtration system for a home in New Jersey?

The best system depends on your specific water test results. For whole-house protection, the Home Treatment system (with Micro Z, Activated Carbon, KDF, and Ion Exchange Resin) is ideal. For drinking water purity, the 6-Stage Reverse Osmosis system is designed to reduce a wide range of dissolved contaminants. Homes with well water need the Well Water System. H2O Purified Water offers a free in-home water test to recommend the right solution.

How much does a water filtration system cost in New Jersey?

Pricing is personalized based on the size of your home, the type of system you need, and what the water test results show. There is no single fixed price for every home, so H2O Purified Water confirms the exact cost with you during a free in-home consultation, and offers flexible financing options — no obligation.

Do you offer a free water test in New Jersey?

Yes. H2O Purified Water provides a complimentary in-home water test for New Jersey residents in Newark, Paterson, Elizabeth, Jersey City, Edison, Toms River, Hoboken, and surrounding areas. A trained specialist from our team comes to your home, tests your water on-site, explains the results, and recommends the right system. Call 844-818-1217 to schedule.

What is a reverse osmosis system and how does it work?

A reverse osmosis system filters water through 6 stages: Sediment (removes particles), Granular Activated Carbon (removes chlorine and organics), Carbon Block (removes chlorine byproducts), RO Membrane (designed to reduce dissolved solids, lead, PFAS, nitrates, bacteria and viruses), Post Carbon (improves taste), and Alkaline Membrane (restores beneficial minerals and balances pH). The result is filtered, better-tasting water directly from your kitchen tap.

Does hard water damage appliances and pipes in NJ?

Yes. Hard water — common throughout New Jersey — contains high levels of calcium and magnesium that build scale inside pipes, water heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines. This reduces appliance efficiency and lifespan. The Home Treatment system includes Ion Exchange Resin that reduces hardness minerals, helping protect your appliances and plumbing.

What is PFAS and is it in New Jersey water?

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), known as "forever chemicals," are industrial compounds linked to cancer, thyroid disease, and immune disorders. New Jersey has some of the strictest PFAS standards in the US, and PFAS has been detected in some NJ water systems. Reverse osmosis is one of the most effective methods for reducing PFAS in drinking water.

How long does water filter installation take?

Most installations are completed in 2 to 4 hours by our trained bilingual technicians. We handle everything — from the water test to the installation — and leave your home clean. We serve all of New Jersey and the New York metro area.

¿Hablan español? Do you serve Spanish-speaking communities in NJ?

Yes — H2O Purified Water is a fully bilingual company serving the Spanish-speaking communities of New Jersey including Newark, Paterson, Elizabeth, Perth Amboy, and Passaic. All consultants speak English and Spanish. Everything — from the water test to the installation and support — can be done in Spanish.

Why Filter Your Water

Your Tap Water May Have Hidden Threats

Municipal tap water may carry dozens of potential contaminants. Our multi-stage systems are designed to reduce a wide range of them, based on what your water test shows.

🧪

Reduces a Wide Range of Contaminants

Lead, chlorine, fluoride, pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, nitrates: our multi-stage systems are designed to reduce a wide range of contaminants.

🦠

Targets Bacteria & Viruses

UV sterilization and RO membranes are designed to inactivate and reduce microorganisms such as E. coli and coliform bacteria.

💰

Stop Buying Bottled Water

Filtered water from your own tap replaces the bottled water you buy today. How much you save depends on how much you currently buy.

♻️

Eco-Friendly Choice

One household system can replace the bottled water your family buys, and the plastic that comes with it.

🏠

Easier on Your Appliances

Hard water can build scale inside water heaters, dishwashers and pipes, which may shorten their useful life. Softened, filtered water helps limit that buildup.

😋

Better Taste & Cooking

Experience the difference filtered water makes in your coffee, cooking and ice. Mineral-balanced water lets flavors come through.

The Process

How Our Systems Work

Multi-stage filtration treats the water on its way to the taps in your home, one stage at a time.

Pre-Sediment Filter

Captures dirt, rust and large particles, protecting the components downstream and extending system life.

Activated Carbon

Absorbs chlorine, chemicals, pesticides and VOCs, reducing the taste and odor they leave in your water.

Reverse Osmosis / Softening

High-pressure membranes reduce dissolved solids, heavy metals, nitrates and hardness minerals.

UV + Mineral Restore

UV light is designed to inactivate bacteria that get past the earlier stages. Essential minerals are re-added to balance taste and pH.
