Microplastics Are Everywhere – How to Protect Your Home’s Water Supply

Microplastics have become a global water contamination crisis, and most people don’t even realize they’re consuming them every single day. From bottled water and tap water to well water and food sources, these tiny plastic particles have infiltrated every part of our environment.

If you live in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Goodyear, Glendale, or Tempe, your drinking water likely contains invisible plastic pollutants. At Candid Water Solutions, we help homeowners take back control by providing advanced filtration systems that remove microplastics, heavy metals, and other contaminants—ensuring you and your family have safe, clean, and pure water every day.

What Are Microplastics and Why Are They in Our Water?

Microplastics are tiny plastic particles less than 5mm in size, formed from plastic waste breaking down over time or being directly released into the environment. Since they never fully degrade, they continuously accumulate in lakes, rivers, and even groundwater sources.

🔹 Where do microplastics in water come from?

✅ Bottled water & packaging breakdown – Many bottled water brands contain 2x more microplastics than tap water.
✅ Synthetic fibers from laundry – Each wash cycle releases thousands of plastic fibers into wastewater.
✅ Agricultural runoff & industrial pollution – Arizona’s groundwater sources can become contaminated from plastic debris & microfibers.
✅ Plastic plumbing & pipes – Many homes have plastic water pipes that slowly degrade over time, adding microplastics to drinking water.

Even if your water looks clean, it may contain millions of microscopic plastic particles—and the long-term health effects could be dangerous.

How Do Microplastics Affect Your Health?

Microplastics have been detected in human organs, bloodstream, and even placenta samples, raising serious health concerns:

🚨 Plastic Chemicals Disrupt Hormones – Many plastics contain BPA, phthalates, and other endocrine-disrupting chemicals that interfere with reproductive health.
🚨 Microplastics Accumulate in the Gut & Organs – Studies show these particles can’t be broken down by the body, leading to chronic inflammation.
🚨 Toxic Chemical Absorption – Microplastics absorb pesticides, heavy metals, and industrial pollutants, which enter your body when consumed.
🚨 Linked to Cardiovascular & Immune Disorders – Emerging research suggests that plastic particles in the bloodstream could increase the risk of heart disease and immune dysfunction.

With microplastics found in 83% of tap water samples worldwide, it’s time to take action. The best way to protect yourself? Remove microplastics from your water at the source.

How to Eliminate Microplastics from Your Drinking Water

Boiling water won’t remove microplastics—but the right filtration system can. Here’s how you can ensure your home has plastic-free, purified water:

1. Reverse Osmosis Filtration: The Ultimate Solution for Microplastic Removal

A Reverse Osmosis (RO) System is the most effective method for eliminating microplastics and other harmful contaminants.

✅ Removes up to 99% of microplastics, chlorine, and heavy metals
✅ Provides ultra-pure, bottled-quality drinking water straight from your tap
✅ Reduces exposure to BPA, pesticides, and chemical contaminants

2. Whole-Home Filtration: Protect Your Water at Every Tap

A whole-home filtration system doesn’t just purify your drinking water—it filters all the water entering your home, ensuring microplastics are removed from:

✔️ Shower & bath water – Reduce skin & hair exposure to plastic contaminants
✔️ Cooking & dishwashing water – Prevent microplastic ingestion through food preparation
✔️ Laundry & washing water – Stop additional microfiber pollution

3. Stop Using Bottled Water – It’s Worse Than Tap Water!

If you think bottled water is a safer alternative, think again! Studies show that bottled water contains nearly TWICE as many microplastics as tap water.

💧 Instead of bottled water, use a high-quality home filtration system and refill glass or stainless steel bottles!

Is Arizona Tap Water Safe from Microplastics?

Arizona has some of the hardest and most mineral-rich water in the country, but microplastics are also becoming a major issue.

🔹 Aging Water Pipes – Many homes in Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Mesa still have old plastic piping, which sheds microplastics into the water supply.
🔹 Desert Plastic Pollution – Wind and heat accelerate plastic breakdown in Arizona’s landfills, leading to plastic debris entering water sources.
🔹 Bottled Water Dependence – Many Arizona residents rely on bottled water, unknowingly consuming more microplastics.

The only way to ensure plastic-free, safe drinking water? Use advanced water filtration in your home.
