The concern categories on record
WINFIELD's flagged contaminants and rule violations, grouped by what they actually mean for a filter choice rather than left as EPA's raw code list:

The most severe category on record is microbial contamination / treatment technique, which points toward a microbial-class filter if you want to address it directly.
What WINFIELD's record does not cover
This is what WINFIELD reported to its state primacy agency and EPA under the Safe Drinking Water Act - real regulatory record, not a lab test of your specific tap. Water quality can still change between the meter and the faucet - household plumbing sits outside what a record of 17 logged violations can see. The guide to what this data misses covers that gap.
