Parent-approved filtration
One less thing to worry about.
Culligan with ZeroWater Technology is certified to reduce Total PFAS and other contaminants, so your family's water is one decision you don't have to second-guess.
You think about everything that goes into their bodies. Water should be part of that conversation.
Nitrates
Nitrates can enter drinking water from agricultural runoff. Infants process nitrates differently than older children and adults, which is why many parents pay closer attention to nitrate levels when choosing water for their family.
Total PFAS
Total PFAS, often called "forever chemicals," don't break down naturally in the environment or the body. Culligan with ZeroWater Technology is certified to reduce Total PFAS.
Lead
Lead can leach into water from aging pipes and plumbing fixtures. There is no known safe level of lead exposure for children. Culligan with ZeroWater Technology is certified to reduce lead.
Pesticides
Pesticide residue can make its way into water supplies through agricultural runoff. Culligan with ZeroWater Technology is certified to reduce pesticides.*

Common questions about water for baby formula
Distilled water is commonly used for infant formula because the distillation process removes minerals and contaminants. Filtered water offers a similar benefit without the cost or hassle of buying distilled water in bulk. Always follow your pediatrician's guidance for your child's specific needs.
Tap water safety depends on your local water supply. Many parents choose to filter tap water before using it for formula to reduce contaminants that can be present depending on location.
Pediatric guidance generally points to using safe, clean water — whether that's filtered, distilled, or tested tap water — mixed according to your formula's instructions. Filtered water offers a convenient, cost-effective option compared to buying distilled or bottled water repeatedly.
