On the assumption you're watering correctly, that is, watering copiously, then tipping out any excess water from the outer pot or tray after 30 minutes, if you're in the States, it might be the tap water, so try using bottled water instead. If you're allowing them to sit in water or not watering sufficiently well when you do water, correct that. Alternatively, dry air/low humidity can cause this problem - Peace Lily appreciates being misted with water 2 or 3 times a week. Other causes could be excessive use of fertilizer, but you haven't mentioned this at all.
