Tap water quality in Puyallup, Washington? Is it safe to drink?

The Tap Water Quality in Puyallup, Washington, is regulated to ensure safety and compliance with both federal and state water quality standards. The water supply is monitored and maintained by Puyallup Water Department which consistently works towards providing clean and safe water to its residents.

Key Points about Puyallup's Water Quality:

Source: The water in Puyallup primarily comes from a combination of surface water and groundwater sources. The surface water is sourced from the Green River Watershed, while groundwater is obtained from a series of wells located within the region.
Testing and Standards: The Puyallup Water Department conducts regular water quality tests in line with the guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Washington State Department of Health. These tests ensure that the water meets all safety and quality standards before reaching consumers.
Water Hardness: The water in Puyallup is moderately hard. As it comes from both surface and groundwater sources, it contains natural minerals such as calcium and magnesium. While these are not hazardous to health, they can affect the taste and lead to scale build-up in plumbing systems.
Common Concerns: Some residents might experience issues related to the taste and smell of the water due to organic material from the surface water source or the mineral content. Although these factors do not pose health risks, they may be undesirable for some consumers. Using a water filter that targets taste and odor can help mitigate these concerns.

Though the tap water in Puyallup is generally safe for all uses, residents looking for enhanced water quality might consider using water purifiers to improve taste and remove any potential contaminants. Additionally, water softeners can reduce mineral deposits, protecting home appliances and plumbing from scale build-up. Residents are encouraged to explore these solutions according to their personal preferences to ensure optimal water quality in their homes.

What do we do? How do we help?

We have developed the TDSBot, an inexpensive IOT device that monitors, in real time, the Incoming and Outgoing TDS levels, temperature, flow rate and cumulative volume of water filtered. Easy to install, it works with all water purifiers including, sediment, GAC, Carbon, Micro, Ultra, Nano and Reverse Osmosis water filters. Key benefits:

Know the incoming and filtered water quality in real time.
Know the volume of water filtered by day, week, month and total.
Know in advance when to change filter cartridges. Too often we tend to realize that they need changing after the water purifier has stopped working or worse, when the water smells bad.
Change filters only when needed. Sometimes filters perform longer than their standard life due to better incoming water or lower usage. Reduce waste and save money.
Quality data collected is aggregated to show real time water quality data to all the community.

TDSBot can be installed on water purifiers from Pentair, Culligan, 3M, Brita, BWT, iSpring, and most other brands. Supports sediment, GAC, Micro, Ultra, Nano and Reverse osmosis filters. It can remotely monitor filters attached to Coffee machines, Ice makers, soda fountains, water dispensers, ovens, laundry & dish washing, car wash found at Cafes, convenient stores, healthcare facilities, hotels, offices, restaurants, colleges, schools, hydroponic systems, and many more.

Learn About Water Quality

* A definition specific to a few codes is that “Safe drinking water” means water that meets all primary and secondary drinking water standards. Drinking water standards are set based on potential health impacts and also take into account the cost to meet the drinking water standard. Also, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines drinking water as safe when humans can drink it with low risk of immediate or long-term harm to your health. Although there may be health risks associated with certain contaminants found in drinking water not all contaminants are necessarily harmful.
