   Dirty water is often a result of various contaminants entering the water supply. These contaminants can originate from several sources, including natural deposits, industrial pollution, agricultural runoff, and aging infrastructure. Common pollutants found in household water include chlorine, iron, sediments, and discoloration agents. Each of these contaminants poses unique challenges, affecting the taste, smell, and appearance of the water. Understanding these issues is the first step toward addressing them effectively.
