What Contaminants Does the Purifyxx Water Filter Reduce?

When people think about water filtration, they often picture a long list of complicated chemical names. At Purifyxx, we believe understanding your water shouldn’t feel overwhelming. Our HydroPod filter is designed to address common groups of contaminants found in everyday municipal tap water—the kinds that affect taste, smell, and overall water quality.

Below is a clear breakdown of the main contaminant categories our filter targets and why they matter.

Chlorine & Chloramine (Disinfectants)

Municipal water systems commonly use chlorine and chloramine to disinfect water. While effective for sanitation, these chemicals are also responsible for:

• Strong chemical taste

• Unpleasant odor

• Dry mouth and aftertaste

  
  

The Purifyxx HydroPod uses activated carbon filtration to significantly reduce chlorine-related taste and odor, resulting in cleaner, more enjoyable water with every sip.

Taste & Odor Compounds

Not all bad-tasting water comes from chlorine alone. Organic compounds and byproducts formed during water treatment can impact flavor and smell.

Our filter targets:

• Chemical aftertastes

• Musty or earthy odors

• General aesthetic water issues

  
  

This is why many users notice an immediate improvement in how their water tastes—even when their tap water was already considered “safe.”

Heavy Metals

Trace amounts of heavy metals can enter drinking water through aging infrastructure, plumbing materials, or natural deposits.

The Purifyxx HydroPod has been tested for the reduction of select heavy metals, including:

• Lead

• Mercury

• Copper

  
  

These reductions align with testing conducted under NSF 42 and NSF 53 protocols, which focus on both aesthetic and health-related contaminants.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

VOCs are a group of carbon-based chemicals that can find their way into water supplies through industrial runoff, agricultural processes, or water treatment byproducts.

Examples include:

• Certain solvents

• Industrial chemicals

• Chemical residues

  
  

Activated carbon is widely recognized for its ability to reduce many VOCs, helping improve overall water quality and taste.

What the Purifyxx Filter Is Not Designed For

Transparency matters to us. The Purifyxx HydroPod is designed for municipal tap water use and has not been tested or certified for bacteria or virus removal.

For situations involving untreated water sources, the best practice is to:

1. Boil water to address bacteria and viruses

2. Allow it to cool

3. Then use the Purifyxx bottle to help reduce remaining chemicals, heavy metals, and taste-related contaminants

Clean Water, Made Simple

Water filtration doesn’t have to be complicated. By focusing on the most common contaminant groups found in everyday tap water, Purifyxx delivers practical, on-the-go filtration designed for real life.

Pure water. Better taste. Every day confidence.

Pure Water, Pure Life.
