Access to clean water is crucial for every family.
We all need water for drinking, cooking, and for other purposes such as
bathing, brushing, and washing. Clean water not only makes life more
comfortable. It likewise preserves human health.
Tap water can’t always be trusted - It may seem
clean in appearance but keep in mind that tap water travels through pipelines
before it reaches your home. This water may pick up a lot of contaminants along
the way it may contain bacteria, chlorine, fluorine compounds, lead, mercury,
pesticides and waste particles. Although
the water will be disinfected and fortified along the process, you still can’t
be guaranteed that it will be 100% safe.

Some of the most common bottled products you will
see on the market include purified water, distilled water, and spring water.
How do they differ from one another? Which of them is cleaner when pitted
against each other - purified water vs spring water or distilled water vs
spring water? What is the best bottled water? So many question with not enough answers!!!!
While keeping hydrated is essential to your health, that bottled water in your bag or in the car may be doing more harm than good. When you drink water that is housed in a plastic bottle, you’re also drinking what the bottle is made of. Even water (as well as the acidic soda beverages) can leach particles from the bottles, especially if it has been exposed to heat (when left in a closed car) or stored for a longer amount of time.
Chester Charles our Products Manager puts it best when he says, "....the same bottle of bottled water purchased is
in fact tap water which passes through a filtration process…” [glorified water]

Research has shown that
BPA (a component often found in plastic) and other plastic
materials, has contributed not only to breast cancer, but also testicular
cancer and prostate cancer.
Arsenic: Tap water can contain dangerous levels of
arsenic, a powerful carcinogenic, that has been linked to an increased risk of
the development of several types of cancer.
Aluminum: Municipal water that is unfiltered can
lead to an increased consumption of aluminum, a metal that has been linked to
Alzheimer’s disease, hyperactivity, learning disabilities in children, skin
problems, liver disease and more.
Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs): DBPs are harmful
elements that result from disinfecting water with chlorine, a powerful
carcinogenic.
Fluoride: While fluoride is commonly associated
with improving oral health, it can actually cause a wide range of health
problems such as a weakened immune system and cellular damage that accelerates
aging." (Source: Benefits of filtered water)
