Natural Purified Water
There are no two ways about it, drinking plenty of pure natural water every day is one of the best things you can do for your health. Unfortunately, our water supplies are, more often than not, anything else but pure, and are contaminated with a high number of man-made or natural pollutants. So what can you do to restore your drinking water back to its natural pure state?
Contaminants in Your Tap Water
To start with, here is a list of some of the most common substances that can contaminate your drinking water:
- heavy metals, such as lead;
- volatile organic chemicals VOCs;
- sediments;
- pharmaceuticals, pesticides;
- chlorine;
- micro-organisms, such as cysts.
But this list only touches the tip of the iceberg. It might surprise you to hear that more than 2000 chemicals have been identified as polluting drinking water on out planet.
Is Bottled Water the Solution
You might think that buying bottled water is the best solution to the problem, allowing you to drink healthy pure water. And although many top-market brands of bottled water do fulfil these advertising promises, the regulations actually do not require bottled water to be cleaner than tap water. On top of that, bottled water can cost you more than petrol, gallon for gallon. And then you are left with the task of recycling or disposing of the empty plastic bottles.
What Else Do You Need to Consider
And drinking water is only one way contaminated tap water can threaten your health. were you also aware that your skin and lungs are absorbing whatever chemicals they come into contact with. And during a bath or shower these organs are especially exposed to the volatile pollutants of the hot water.
So if it is high on your priorities to focus on your health, to stay environmentally conscious and be cost-effective, then your best choice is to use a home water filtration system.
Why Choose a Water Filter
Of course, the factors that influence your choice of water filter will be very individual to you. However, here is a list of things you might possibly want to consider:
- the quality of your tap water;
- your personal health problems or sensitivities;
- the space in your kitchen;
- the number of faucets you use for cooking and drinking water;
- the layout of your piping system;
- if you want to have filtered water for showering and bathing as well;
- the accessibility of your main water pipe.
