Is Your Drinking Water Putting You at Risk?

Arsenic in Your Water Supply: What Every New Jersey Homeowner Should Know

Even low levels of arsenic in your water can pose serious health risks. A Clear Alternative helps families across New Jersey identify and remove this invisible threat with proven filtration solutions.

What is Arsenic?

Arsenic is a naturally occurring element that can enter groundwater through the erosion of rocks and soil. In some areas, especially where groundwater is the primary water source, arsenic levels may reach dangerous concentrations. Industrial processes and agricultural runoff can also contribute to arsenic contamination.

Long-term exposure to arsenic, even at low levels, may lead to severe health issues. It is classified as a carcinogen, meaning it may increase the risk of cancer, particularly skin, lung, and bladder cancer.

Arsenic is tasteless and odorless, so its presence in water often goes unnoticed without proper testing. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set the maximum allowable level for arsenic in drinking water at 10 parts per billion (ppb), but even lower levels may pose health risks over time.

Arsenic is a common water issue in US, however, it can be easily and affordably removed with an under-sink Reverse Osmosis filter from New Jersey.

Whether you're curious about how our systems work, what’s in your water, or what happens after installation—we’ve got answers to the most common questions our customers ask.

How do I know if I need a water treatment system?

If you notice odd tastes, odors, stains, or cloudy water—or just want peace of mind—it's worth testing your water. We offer free water testing to identify the best solution.

What types of contaminants can your systems remove?

Our systems are designed to reduce or eliminate chlorine, hardness, iron, bacteria, PFAS, nitrates, and more.

Do I need a whole-home system or just drinking water filtration?

That depends on your needs. We offer both whole-home solutions and point-of-use options like reverse osmosis.

Is installation included, and how long does it take?

Yes! Professional installation is included. Most systems can be installed in just a few hours.

What maintenance is required?

We design our systems to be low-maintenance, and we offer service plans so you don’t have to worry about upkeep.

What’s the difference between softening and filtration?

Softening removes minerals that cause hardness and scale (like calcium and magnesium), while filtration targets contaminants like chlorine, sediment, iron, and VOCs. Many homes use a combination of both. See our residential solutions.

Is my water safe to drink?

Municipal water is treated, but often still contains chlorine, byproducts, or trace contaminants like PFAS. Well water is unregulated and varies by region. Best way to be 100% sure you're drinking safe, clean water is to get a water test done and have proper filtration system in place.
