Just read this article:
http://watertech111.blogspot.com/2008/08/whole-house-water-filters-make-world-of.html
The piece goes into how homes may have lead in their water if built before 1986. That, I knew. But then the following paragraphs use a whole bunch of nasty words like parasites, bacteria, rust, and illness. In addition, there may also be sediment in my water. For some reason that doesn’t scare me as much…as long as it sinks to the bottom of my water glass.
My water smells and tastes bad, which others complain about, but I tend to ignore. The thought of bacteria-filled Kool Aid and a rusty bladder seem to stick around in my head, though. I don’t know what kind of filter is best to get this junk out of my water and out of ME, but I’ll do some research and post that next.
Oh, and if for some reason the author of that article doesn’t want me to use it, just let me know. I’d look up the rules, but I’m too busy willing my immune system to fight off the parasites I’ve been drinking.

If you have serious reasons to suspect that your water contains parasites, bacteria, lead, etc. it would make sense to check your water first w/ a Home Drinking Water Test Kit and then have it tested professionally as well. While Home Drinking Water Test Kits work well as a preliminary screening tool, they ought not serve as the final word when you and your family's health/safety is on the line.
