When we say that FllexiFitt filters contaminants from water down to 0.2 microns, it’s easy to recognize that it’s small, but understanding how small that is, is important.  A micron, or micrometer, is one-millionth of a meter. To put that into perspective, a single human hair is roughly 70 microns wide.

Most people assume that if tap water looks clear and tastes fine, it’s safe to drink. But in recent years, growing attention around contaminants like lead, PFAS, and microplastics has raised new questions about what may still be present in treated drinking water.
