Frequently Asked Questions about ZIP 34988 Tap Water

What's in ZIP 34988 tap water?

ZIP 34988 has 5 detected contaminants below EPA limits in this dataset. Arsenic measured closest to its guideline.

Will boiling ZIP 34988 tap water remove Arsenic?

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 34988, a certified filter is more reliable.

Do basic pitcher filters remove Arsenic?

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.
