A summer of record heat - and rising risk
We’re entering National Heat Wave Preparedness Month and bracing for an intense hurricane season. With record-breaking temperatures and growing climate unpredictability, access to clean, safe water is more important than ever—especially when staying hydrated can literally be a lifesaver.
"Increasingly intense and frequent climate events make safeguarding our drinking water vital,” said Derek Mellencamp, Aquasana’s general manager. “It’s no longer just a nice-to-have — it’s a necessity.”
The impact of a disaster every four days
In 2024 alone, the U.S. experienced 27 billion-dollar weather disasters, according to NOAA. That’s just shy of the record set in 2023. Add in nearly 65,000 wildfires, 1,800 tornadoes, and countless floods, droughts, and winter storms, and it’s no wonder the International Institution for Environmental Development (IIED) reported a major disaster every four days, affecting nearly 41% of the U.S. population.
Disasters can put huge stress on local water systems, leading to everything from boil notices to long-term contamination. That’s where home filtration comes in.
Why a home water filter matters more than ever
High temperatures, power outages, and infrastructure damage can all increase the risk of contaminants entering your water supply. Think sediment, heavy metals, chemicals, and more.
“Installing a high-quality water filter at home adds an important layer of protection,” said Mellencamp. “Especially during events like heat waves or rolling blackouts, when municipal systems may be under pressure.”
Aquasana’s drinking water filters are tested and certified to remove up to 99.99% of 90 different contaminants, including PFAS, chlorine, lead, pharmaceuticals, and microplastics. For whole-home coverage, our systems also feature UV filtration that sterilizes bacteria and viruses.
Peace of mind, one glass at a time
Clean drinking water shouldn’t be a question mark — especially during a crisis. Whether you're on city water or a private well, having a reliable filter in place can give you peace of mind and help keep your family safe, no matter what nature throws your way.
