Waterborn diseases are MANY! Just some (from a retired R.N.) are: Hepatitis A, diahrrea due to bacteria, bacterial infections of your whole body (also called systemic), vomiting, symptoms like that of Food Poisoning, skin infections, malaria and other water insect transferable diseases. You MUST always BOIL WATER at a full rolling boil for 10 min.

Most common pollutants that affect humans are lead and mercury . Worst diseases that can get in even city water are cryptosporidium and giardia.Well water can be even more contaminated. General recommendation is to test well water once a year , but I would suggest twice. A filter system that provides an " absolute one micron " screening is best, especially if you have infants, elderly or immuno-compromised people in your home.
