Clear, Clean, Confident: Why Water Quality Matters with Aon Water Technology

When you turn on the tap, you probably expect your water to be clean, clear, and safe. But have you ever really stopped to ask: what is tap water, and what’s actually in it? 

At Aon Water Technology, we’re passionate about helping families in our community understand the quality of their water—and what they can do to make it better. Whether you’re on city water or pulling from a private well, having the right water filter system in place is one of the smartest things you can do for your home, your health, and your peace of mind. 

Tap Water vs. Well Water: What’s the Difference? 

If you’re connected to a municipal supply, your tap water (city water) has likely gone through some basic treatment—usually to kill bacteria and remove large particles. But it may still contain chlorine, lead, and other contaminants that affect its taste and safety (CDC source). 

On the other hand, well water comes straight from underground and is completely untreated. That means you get full control over how it’s filtered—but also full responsibility. Things like bacteria, nitrates, and even pesticides can sneak into well water. If that sounds concerning, that’s because it is. Regular testing and the right filtration system can make a world of difference. 

Is Reverse Osmosis Good for You? 

One of the most common questions we hear at Aon Water Technology is:
“Is reverse osmosis good for you?” 

Short answer: Yes—with a few caveats. 

Reverse osmosis (RO) systems do a fantastic job of removing contaminants like heavy metals, PFAS, and bacteria—some systems eliminate up to 99.9% of impurities (Aquasana). But they also strip away beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium. The good news? Many of today’s systems—including those we install—have remineralization filters that put the good stuff back in for great-tasting, balanced water. 

Thinking Bigger? Go Whole House Reverse Osmosis 

If you’re looking for a total home solution, a whole house reverse osmosis system is the ultimate upgrade. These setups purify every drop of water entering your home—from the kitchen tap to your showerhead. 

While they do require a larger investment and some regular maintenance, customers love the all-in-one convenience and consistent quality. Curious if it’s right for you? Let’s talk—Aon Water Technology offers complimentary water testing and system recommendations tailored to your needs. 

What About Deionized Water? 

If you’re in an industry that requires ultra-pure water—like labs, printing, or auto detailing—you may need deionized water. This type of water goes a step beyond RO, removing virtually all mineral ions. While it’s too “empty” for regular drinking, it’s perfect for applications where even trace minerals could be a problem (Aquasana). 

The Right Water Filter System Makes All the Difference 

Choosing the best water filter system isn’t one-size-fits-all. Here at Aon Water Technology, we customize solutions based on:
