Looks and tastes great, but what’s REALLY hanging out in your water?
What Is the Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting?
The Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting has been testing the taste of the nation’s water since 1991, ranking entrants on the following categories:
- Appearance
- Aroma
- Taste
- Mouth Feel
- Aftertaste
The trained water tasters were asked to judge whether the water being tested was odorless and tasted, “clean and light.”
Do you live in Eldorado, Colorado?
Then congratulations! Your tap water is the Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting 2019 award winner for "The Best Water in the USA!"
All in Good Taste?
Without wishing to detract from the worthy achievements of the national and international competitors and winners, it is worth drawing a distinction between water being “the best tasting” and being among the cleanest and safest water to drink.
The Deadly Substance You Can’t Taste, See, or Smell
The reason for this is a sobering one: some of the most dangerous contaminants in our municipal water cannot be tasted, smelled or seen…such as lead, for example.
Lead is the notoriously toxic substance that has attracted so much of the media spotlight over the last few years because lead cannot be detected by any of our senses.
PFAS and Tap Water Contaminants

Alarmingly, lead isn’t the only deadly substance that’s difficult to detect!
PFAS is a known carcinogen that is in the water that flows from taps across the country. Traces of pharmaceutical drugs, arsenic, and heavy metals are other common contaminants.
Sometimes, water contamination announces itself by showing up as a brown or yellow tinge in the glass.
PFAS are a result of rusting pipes or a build-up of sediments that’s unpleasant, unappetizing, and somewhat further down the list of dangerous elements to drink.

What Is the Best Filtration System for Drinking Water?
An award-winning Tyent water ionizer, of course!
A Tyent water ionizer is plumbed directly into your source water so that it flows into the unit at the push of a button!
Your water passes through the water ionizer…where it is then filtered by our industry-leading, multi-stage filtration system. A Tyent water ionizer filter has the same micron level as kidney dialysis machines!
Our Chromium-6 Filter is a 4-stage filtration system that removes:
- Heavy metals, including 99% of lead
- 9% of Chromium-6
- 90-95% of fluoride
Tyent Water isn’t just safe and clean: our water ionizers create hydrogen-rich alkaline water that has a fresh, energizing, and delicious taste that bottled water CANNOT match!

Your filters sound pretty strong. I researched a lot of brands, and no other company compared so far.
Hi, Hal. We’re happy you said this! Tyent’s powerful Ultra Filters come standard with each water ionizer. We have two large filters that form a dual filtration system with the same 0.01-micron level and filtration capabilities as a kidney dialysis machine. The primary filter contains ACF active carbon that removes large contaminants like organic compounds, chlorine, rust, and sediment, while the secondary filter contains ceramic material that balances the ions and minerals in the water. These Ultra Filters remove over 200 contaminants including 99% of toxins like lead, beryllium, manganese, chlorine, and pharmaceuticals. If you have fluoride and Chromium-6 in your water, we have a specialty 4-bank pre-filter that removes those, too.
If you want to learn more about the toxins that our filters remove, please read our comprehensive filtration report. You can also call us at 855-893-6887 to speak with any of our water experts.
My family and I are already satisfied with my RO system so I don’t see a need to buy another machine to clean my water.
Hi, Fatima. It’s good that you and your family have been taking the steps to clean your water. However, we want to point out that reverse osmosis (RO) removes a lot of the good minerals from your water, which your body needs. Even if your body gets much of its nutrients from food, mineral-rich water is still a huge supplemental source. RO water has no minerals, so it can pose health problems. Reverse osmosis removes the bad stuff from your water as well as the good minerals that your body needs, which is why we don’t suggest drinking it.
This recent eco-epidemiological study of 13,723 girls and 16,161 boys noted that – among other issues – low-mineral water can retard height growth and increase the possibility of dental decay. Alongside the health risks, there is also another important issue with demineralized water: it is corrosive to metal pipes, containers, and storage tanks, giving rise to the risk of contamination. The World Health Organization (WHO) took a comprehensive look at minerals in water and the potential risks of reverse osmosis. Ultimately, we align our view with the WHO statement: that long-term consumption, “has a definite adverse influence on the animal and human organism.”
If you do want to keep your reverse osmosis machine to deep clean your water, we recommend that you hook it up to a Tyent water ionizer so that you get healthy antioxidants and minerals in your water, as well. Again, what you don’t want to do is take out all of the minerals in your water and then drink it because your body needs these minerals. Not only is owning a water ionizer more environmentally friendly, as you won’t need to buy and recycle hundreds of plastic bottles, but it’s better for your health in the long term, too. Give us a call at 855-893-6887 so our water ionizer experts can discuss the benefits of our machines with you and explain the hookup.
Well how many things can your ionizers remove anyway? It’s not listed here.
Hi, Cooper. All of our state-of-the-art water ionizers can effectively get rid of over 200 contaminants from your source water including 99% of lead, and up to 99% of mercury, beryllium, and uranium. To remove fluoride and chromium-6, pair our filters with specialty 4-bank pre-filters.
The full list of chemicals that our ionizers remove is available in this comprehensive third-party lab filtration report.
