We started CLEAR2O with a single objective in mind: to provide consumers with the safest, cleanest, healthiest drinking water possible.

It’s an important job, to be sure. And it’s a job we take extremely seriously. After all, clean water is something that people shouldn’t even have to think about – it should just be there for everyone, whether at home or on the road.

Unfortunately, the facts state otherwise. The truth is, millions of people every year are exposed to substandard drinking water: Every year from 1982 to 2015, between 9 million and 45 million Americans got their drinking water from a source that violated the standards of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Of course, despite the gravity of our mission, we are not above having a little bit of fun. And since we’re all about water, we thought a little quiz on your knowledge of our planet’s most valuable resource might be an entertaining – and eye-opening – exercise.
