Independent Testing (e.g., Oasis app): Scores lower (around 32/100 in some reports) due to:
โข Trihalomethanes (TTHMs): Detected at levels ~9x stricter health guidelines (e.g., 0.0014 mg/L). These are common disinfection byproducts from chlorine reacting with organic matter; levels are below FDA/EPA legal limits but flagged by some for long-term concerns (e.g., potential endocrine/reproductive effects). ๏ฟผ
โข Microplastics/Nanoplastics: Likely present (common in nearly all plastic-bottled waters due to packaging). These tiny particles can leach into the water, though exact quantities vary. ๏ฟผ
โข Other: Minimal nutrients; some reports note occasional particles or off-tastes in specific batches.
