Ensuring access to great-tasting, clean drinking water for your home and family is essential in Las Vegas. Everyone knows we have very hard water with minerals, calcium, and magnesium. Even though the city treats the water, it can still taste bad because it has not been purified. Learning how to make tap water taste better not only gives you access to pure water but also water that is healthy for you, your family, and your pets.

Why Does My Tap Water Taste Bad?

The tap water in Las Vegas can taste bad for a variety of different reasons. For starters, knowing where the water pumped into homes comes from is important. In Vegas, the city pumps water from Lake Mead, which is fed by the Colorado River. The water starts in the mountains in Colorado as snow or rain.

As it flows down the mountainside, it makes its way into the Colorado River and eventually Lake Mead. During this time, the water picks up all sorts of minerals, bacteria, viruses, and other things we don’t want in our drinking water.

Next, the hard water in Las Vegas is not quality water to begin with. While it is processed at water treatment plants and meets regulation requirements for safe drinking water, the chemical used to make it safe for drinking does not address the calcium and mineral deposits. Your tap water can have chlorine, fluoride, and other chemicals you may not want to drink.

Now, if you are one of the few people to still have well water in Las Vegas, you have all sorts of things in the ground that can make tap water taste bad, such as:

Algae
Bacteria
Sulfur
Copper
Iron
Magnesium
Zinc
Calcium

Lastly, the quality of your home’s plumbing system can affect the taste of drinking water. If you have an older home, you could have lead pipes, rust, and corrosion issues.

Ways To Make Your Tap Water Taste Better

There are several effective ways to make your tap water taste better without having to spend a fortune on bottled water, including:

Use a water filter system: Water filtration systems remove impurities from water and improve its taste. There are various systems you can use in your house. One of the more popular options is a reverse osmosis system from Rain Water of Las Vegas.
Infuse fruit and herbs into your water: If you do not like the taste of water, even after it is purified, you can add flavor to it using various fruits and herbs. Simply heat the water at a slow simmer with your desired fruit or herbs for about 15 minutes. Next, strain the water into a pitcher and allow it to cool to room temperature before putting it in your refrigerator.
Use a reverse osmosis system to make alkaline water: Purified alkaline water tastes great and is healthy for you. It helps detoxify the body, keeps you hydrated, is an antioxidant, balances your body’s pH levels, and enhances your immune system. It also improves hydration and digestion and counteracts the acidic effects of various foods.
Clean or replace your water pipes: If you have scale buildup, rust, or older pipes in your home, it can be beneficial to clean these or have them replaced to improve the taste of your tap water. However, without a water filtration system and conditioning system, your water taste issues will not be resolved.
Install a home water conditioning system: If you want to address Las Vegas’ hard water, you should install a home water conditioning system. A water conditioning system treats hard water and softens it. It will remove calcium, minerals, iron, and magnesium. However, it does not remove contaminants. Ideally, you want a combination conditioning and filtration system from Rain Water of Las Vegas for the purest tap water.
