The quality of tap water in Switzerland is generally very high and is considered by many experts to be among the best in the world. The Swiss government has strict regulations for the drinking water supply to ensure that the tap water is safe and of high quality. Compared to other countries around the world, Switzerland has very good tap water quality, which leads one to believe that water filters are not necessary.

Why should you use water filters for tap water?

The Swiss waterworks (over 2500 water suppliers) generally supply water of very high quality, which is regularly treated by various measures such as water filters and tested for a variety of contaminants. In addition, the infrastructure in Switzerland is generally very good and the pipelines are often made of high-quality materials to maintain the water quality.

One of the main problems of drinking water ordinance is the incomplete review, in which not all pollutants are monitored, but only some common ones and these are also provided with limit values, which are widely considered harmless, but are usually far above homeopathic values. Furthermore, testing cannot take place at your tap and not always when you are drinking. We would therefore like to use a few examples to illustrate the dangers lurking in our tap water and why you should use a water filter.

Bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms can enter the water through wastewater, animal husbandry, fertilizers and contamination from natural sources. Wastewater treatment plants are designed to remove these microorganisms, but there is still a risk that they can get into tap water.
