Why Do We Need A Water Filter?

The Problems with Bottled Water

It is well known that drinking tap water is not good,And maybe you have already switched to drinking bottled water. So, why is installing and using an effective point-of-use drinking water system for in-home use a better approach? Please consider the NSF certification

* Bottled water is very expensive. A gallon of water purchased from the local grocery store typically costs about ten times as much or more compared to filtered water (79¢ per gallon vs. 8¢). If a family of four drank just the minimum recommended daily amount of water per person (64 ounces), the cost would be about $11 plus sales tax per week. The comparative cost for filtered water is closer to $1. Switching to filtered water will save well over $500 every year!
* Bottled water is not as clean and safe as you might think. Studies of the bottled water industry indicate that the quality level varies significantly from one source to the next. You may not be getting what you are paying for.
* Bottled water is heavy to lift and transport, and it's bulky to store. A family of four that drinks the minimum recommended amount of water per person would handle 112 pounds of water each and every week, or nearly 3 tons in a year! Alternately, a point-of-use filtration system would dispense water as needed, a glass or pitcher at a time without the need to store anything. Nothing to transport, nothing to store.
* Bottled water is inconvenient. Buying bottled water typically requires a trip to the store. When you are about to run out, you must curtail your usage of water or stop what you are doing and make another trip to the store. Alternately, a point-of-use water filtration system provides an unlimited supply of drinking water that is available whenever you want it. Why ration something that is so vital to your good health?
* Bottled water has a negative environmental impact. Bottled water usually is packaged and sold in a plastic container of some kind. While some of the plastic that's discarded after the water has been consumed gets recycled by environmentally-conscious consumers, most of it just ends up in a landfill.

The U.S. Government's Environmental Protection Agency provides an interesting experiment that demonstrates the procedures used by municipal water treatment centers to purify water. Visit their web site at EPA to find out for yourself! Once you have completed this experiment for yourself, we're sure that you will be convinced of the soundness of our approach to water filtration.

When it comes to drinking water, you might take precautions to buy it bottled or filtered -- so you're guaranteed something that is clean and drinkable.
Many families install table top water filters in the kitchen, so even the water you use in your cooking is safe. Since we are now aware of many of the harmful chemical and pollutants, we are careful not to knowingly put them into our bodies,right?

So why on earth would you take showers in the same water you would be afraid to make Kool Aid out of?. Making Kool Aid in that water,and showering in it is also potentially hazardous to your health.

Study after study confirm what was suspected for many years -- simple being exposed to water in your shower and bath has the potential to do real and long-term damage to your health and wellbeing.

In fact, exposure to the chemicals in your shower and the steam a hot shower produces, including chlorine, chloroform, trichloroethylene (TCE), and hydrogen sulfide, may cause cancer, respiratory illness, liver and kidney disease, and a whole host of other health problems.

Would it suprise you to know that-- every single day you could be putting yourself at risk by simply stepping into the shower. Wow! This, in my opinion, is a serious problem.

Thankfully, I've got a very powerful solution for you. But first

The Very Real Dangers of Chlorine.

Studies like the one published in the American Journal of Public Health are finally exposing what has been suspected for a long time: exposure to chlorine on your skin can potentially be dangerous to your health.

For many years, researchers thought that the "exposure" came only when chlorine was ingested. But, current studies are showing that drinking the water is not the only risk. And is likely not even the most severe.

That's why it's so critical you help protect yourself, starting now

Consider these facts about the danger of chlorine exposure -- and remember chlorine is just ONE of the chemicals in your water right now:

*

On average, you consume between 1-2 gallons of water a day, but on average you expose yourself to 25 gallons of water when you shower. The U.S. Council of Environmental Quality reports that cancer risks for people who drink chlorinated water are 93% higher than people who don't.
*

Even if your skin repels 75% of all chemicals and toxins in the water, that still leaves 25% of chemicals that make their way through your semi-permeable skin and into your body. That means one 15-minute shower is the equivalent of drinking 8 glasses of polluted water.

When you take a hot shower, toxic chemicals are liberated from the water and released as gasses, including chloroform (50% more released) and trichloroethylene (TCE) (80% more released) -- both known carcinogens.

That steam you love so much -- that is so relaxing to you -- well, it's potentially filled with gasses that could harm you.

In fact, research shows that the dangers of vaporized chlorine are 100 times greater through inhalation and bathing than drinking. It's a harsh reality, isn't it?

And, the longer your shower
the bigger your potential risk. As you double the length of your shower, you quadruple the amount of harmful gasses that are accumulating.

Chlorine is the invisible danger lurking in almost every shower
Let me tell you about a Shower Filter
, that automatically and instantly reduce the chlorine from your water!

We can live without many, many things in our life. You even can live for more than a week without any food. But you cannot live without daily access to safe drinking water. Your life literally depends upon it. The key question is, what's your source?

It's true that water, like the air you breathe, is for the most part free. With water, what you pay for is the quality of the water and its delivery to the point of use. So, why do you need a drinking water filtration system?

Most people take it on faith that the water coming from the tap in their home is safe to drink. And, generally speaking, it is. Well, at least it passes minimum government standards for quality and safety. But how comfortable are you that the government standards applied to your drinking water really are stringent enough, and enforced well enough, to protect your family's health 24 hours a day, 365 days a year? While treating water by adding chlorine to the water supply to kill water-borne diseases has been a tremendous boon to the health of the general population in developed countries, it is a proven fact that chlorine is not good for your body. Chlorine is a good thing right up to the point where you swallow it, and then it's a bad thing.

The simple solution is to filter your drinking water at the point of use in your home. And if you filter your water to remove chlorine and anything else that makes the water taste bad, why not use a truly effective filtration system that eliminates as many other unhealthy contaminants as possible? While there are many, many water filtering alternatives you can consider to remove chlorine and improve the taste of drinking water, there are surprisingly few that are up to the challenging task of eliminating invisible, hard-to-remove contaminants such as Arsenic V. Not all water filtration systems are created equal, and the devil is deep in the details.
