Spring has sprung! This time of the year is the kick-off of pool parties, patio gatherings and BBQ season. Nothing beats cooling down while the weather heats up than an ice-cold refreshment. But this no longer means a cooler full of generic bottled beer and pour-your-own rum and Coke stations. Today, it’s about providing guests with a selection of craft beers, homebrews and premium bar options.
Dubbed part of the “Maker Movement,” in which consumers are taking the DIY approach over traditional spending (but out of interest and self-enrichment more than need), people are investing their time and effort in creating signature homebrews and restaurant-quality craft cocktails they can be proud to serve their guests.
So, what exactly is water’s role? When it comes to crafting the perfect summer ale or sunset cocktail, water is more crucial that you may think.
Rock Your Cocktails
If you fancy yourself a mixologist more than a brewologist, you’ll probably be using a lot of ice in your summer cocktails. While it may not come down to an exact science as in homebrewing, the type of ice used can greatly change the flavor and appearance of your cocktails.
As mentioned before, tap water has tons of micro-chemicals and sediments with a noticeable effect on taste. When the ice made from tap water melts and combines with your carefully curated ingredients, those chemicals seep in. Plus, frozen tap water can take on a more salty, brackish taste – even more noticeable in blended frozen drinks that are synonymous with summer!
Ice cubes made from tap water can form with a foggy, unappetizing appearance. Filtered cubes are clear, giving your creations a more appealing look. Ice made from filtered water ensures clean, fresh tasting cocktails down to the last sip.
Best for Brewing
While there isn’t much that can be done to your store-bought six-packs, beer enthusiasts are trying their hand at crafting their own signature brews. According to the American Homebrewers Association, there are an estimated 1.2 million homebrewers in the US brewing more than 2 million barrels of beer each year.
Homebrewers are also fairly evenly distributed around the country, which can mean vastly different water profiles. Water makes up more than 95 percent of beer’s composition and is the foundation for brewing, so it is just as – if not more than – important as any other ingredient used. Brewers from coast to coast need to take a good hard look at the water that goes into brewing the perfect pint.
Beer taste comes down to chemistry. Chemicals and minerals in water can make significant changes to the profile of the beer, as well as pH levels, alkalinity and other factors brewers need to take into consideration.
Tap water can contain chlorine, limescale, and organics (dead microorganisms killed by the chlorine). Levels vary due to a number of factors such as location and environmental influences. Not only will these alter the flavor, uncontrolled variables in tap water will make it hard to duplicate the batch and affect the quality control of each one.
Also, be wary of distilled water. While this may seem like an alternative to ensure consistency, distilled water is entirely void of minerals and will absorb impurities more quickly than water with some minerals.
Bottled water enhanced with minerals could be a good option for balanced and consistent ingredients. That is, if you’re fine with pouring literally hundreds to thousands of dollars down the drain. The cost of using bottled water for a five-gallon output could run you up to an additional $80 per batch.* Plus, the combination/level of minerals is determined by the manufacturer – so if the resulting flavor doesn’t suit you, you’re out of luck…and money.
Easy and cost effective solutions to gain total control over your water include using a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) meter to help you gauge the purity levels and know exactly what’s going into each batch. What’s more, our “Create Your Own” Home Master Filter allows brewers to adjust the levels and try different combinations for the best final product.
Being able to control your water is a game changer for brewers, providing another level of differentials to be experimented with. Brewers can spend weeks testing and trying different hops, barleys and malts, so why should water make-up be any different? If replicating another brewer’s recipe, keep in mind the water profile used and adjust accordingly to ensure the true character of the beer shines through.
Family Affair
And of course, we can’t forget the kiddos! We’re not implying they should toss back any sort of alcoholic beverage, but the warmer months mean lemonade stands and Kool-Aid by the pool. Or maybe the budding makers want to imitate mom and dad’s creations with their own virgin “mocktails” or homebrewed root beer. Like their adult counter parts, these kid-friendly drinks are mostly made up of water and can take on the foul tastes of tap. Even though their palates may not yet be refined, clean and healthy water that is free of chemicals is the focus here – plus helps keep kids hydrated in the summer months!

*Calculated using 5.5 gallons of water used per 5-gallon output, with average cost of 11.2 oz bottled water at $1.37 per bottle.
In certain industries, it’s more common than others to file for a U.S. patent. However, it may not be advisable for every invention or business.
Before going through the lengthy and costly patent process, there are a few components to understand. From whether it’s a worthwhile investment to meeting the requirements set by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, it’s important to consider your business goals before pursuing a patent. In this latest Water Quality Products Magazine article, we provide first-hand advice on how and when to obtain a patent.

It’s easy to tell that something is not right with your tap water when you can see, taste or smell something unpleasant. But not all contaminants are easily identifiable. For instance, some microbial, organic contaminants, and dissolved solids can’t be detected by human senses alone, meaning your water may look and taste the same while secretly containing materials that could harm your health.
It’s good to keep in mind, however, that all city tap water does contain some trace contaminants and not all of them are things you have to worry about. Before you panic over what might be in your water, let’s take a look at some of the most common contaminants and whether or not you need to be concerned.
1. Chloramine
Concern Level: Medium
The presence of certain chemicals is not necessarily a bad thing. Chloramine is a disinfectant used to treat water and kill germs and is becoming the chemical treatment of choice over chlorine for many high-population areas. Though this chemical is known to produce less trihalomethanes (which have been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals), it can be harsh on metal pipes, and leach metals if buffers were not added to prevent the leaching. Chloramines are also known to degrade common gaskets and hoses, leading to leaks or flooding. Changing your toilet and dish/clothes washer hoses to a compatible material such as stainless steel and making sure your renter’s or homeowners insurance policy covers water damage is recommended if you live in an area serviced with chloraminated water.
2. Chlorine
Concern Level: Medium
Like chloramine, chlorine is used as a treatment option to kill germs in water. However, chlorine byproducts may be linked to diseases like cancer and reproductive issues if consumed in high enough quantities. Most city water treatment plants typically keep these at safe levels for consumption and in accordance with the EPA, but cities have been known to raise chlorine levels in the summertime to account for higher chlorine consumption rates.
3. Arsenic
Concern Level: High
Although arsenic is a naturally occurring substance, arsenic contamination in city ground water is more often a result of manmade sources such as wood preservative, petroleum production, semi-conductor manufacturing or pesticides. Even low amounts of arsenic exposure can affect your health, and over time, those issues can become much worse.
4. Pharmaceuticals
Concern Level: Unknown
This is an emerging area of concern that has only recently been subject to investigation and formal study to monitor possible health effects. Nearly 60 percent of Americans are taking prescription drugs, and remnants of these medications find their way back into city water systems through expulsion and people flushing medications. While no major issues have resulted yet, researchers have detected anti-epileptic, anti-anxiety, heart failure, high blood pressure and a multitude of pain medications in water supplies across the country.
5. Lead
Concern Level: High
The Flint water crisis gained national attention and turned our collective focus to the dangers of lead. The metal is especially dangerous for children. It tends to build up in the bloodstream over time and can have significant negative implications on brain development. The damage done by lead is often irreversible.
6. Perchlorate
Concern Level: Medium
Perchlorate used to be a commonly used chemical in the production of rocket fuel, missiles, fireworks, and flares, and can sometimes be found in bleach and fertilizers. The chemical cannot only leach into groundwater, but has also been found in different lettuces and leafy greens.
Because it can affect the endocrine and reproductive systems, the EPA considers this a likely human carcinogen and states have begun to regulate and remove the chemical when deemed necessary.
7. Fluoride
Concern Level: Medium-High
It’s important to understand that there are different types of fluoride, both naturally occurring and man-made, each affecting humans differently. While organizations like the American Dental Association and the EPA deem this element safe, it has been found to cause neurotoxicity in adults and neurodevelopment issues in children. Fluoridation has been banned in many Asian and European countries and U.S. cities are starting to follow suit. The EPA now recognizes there have been new developments in possible health effects related to fluoride, but the revision of its classification remains a low priority. We’ll be exploring more on this compound-dissolved solid in a follow-up post, so be sure to check it out.
8. Microorganisms
Concern Level: Low
Deceased microorganisms are the most common origin of musty or earthy smelling treated municipal drinking water. When microorganisms are killed by chlorine, they can decay and cause these foul odors. These organisms are typically not an issue for healthy adults, but can sometimes cause illness in those with immunodeficiency, and are certainly unpleasant to drink.
Concerns over drinking water are common and valid. While many contaminants appear in low quantities and are not of immediate concern, for peace of mind, check with your local water board. These organizations can provide specifics on drinking water coming directly from your tap. For optimal safety and the best flavor, it’s worth investing in a filtration system to keep your family hydrated and healthy all year round.
