The quality of tap water in Switzerland is generally very high and is considered by many experts to be among the best in the world. The Swiss government has strict regulations for drinking water supplies to ensure that tap water is safe and of high quality. Compared to other countries around the world, Switzerland has very good tap water quality, which suggests that water filters are not necessary.

Why should you use water filters for tap water?

Swiss waterworks (over 2,500 water suppliers) generally supply very high-quality water, which is regularly treated using various measures such as water filters and tested for a variety of pollutants. In addition, the infrastructure in Switzerland is generally very good and the pipes are often made of high-quality materials to maintain water quality.

One of the main problems with the Drinking Water Ordinance is the incomplete testing, which does not monitor all pollutants , but only a few common ones, and even these are subject to limits that are widely considered safe, but are usually far above homeopathic levels. Furthermore, testing cannot take place at your tap, nor can it always take place when you are drinking. We would therefore like to use a few examples to illustrate the dangers lurking in our tap water and why you should use a water filter.

Bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms can enter the water through sewage, animal husbandry, fertilizers, and contaminants from natural sources. Sewage treatment plants are designed to remove these microorganisms, but there is still a risk that they can enter the tap water.
