Watch-fors

What households usually check

  • hardness and high TDS
  • chlorine taste
  • private-well arsenic in some basins
  • sediment

Steps

A practical path

  1. 1Find your Nevada utility’s Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) — most publish a PDF every year.
  2. 2If you use a private well, schedule a certified lab panel (coliform + nitrate minimum).
  3. 3Match filter type to the contaminant class on the report before you shop Amazon hardware.
  4. 4Budget replacement cartridges for 12 months, not just the first box price.
