You've probably have heard it a hundred times.
Public water has become severely contaminated with chemicals, lead, and parasites.
The best way to ensure your home water is safe and healthy is to use home water treatment systems.
There's lots of different water treatment products available.
But, the effectiveness varies dramatically.
Before investing in home water treatment systems, you need to know what systems are the best and which ones need to be avoided.
Here are some tips in selecting the best water treatment products.
1) Avoid Reverse Osmosis and Distillation Systems - Both of these technologies are popular but not effective in removing contaminants from tap water.
Many chemicals like chlorine will pass right through these type of filters.
People that install these systems think they are drinking pure water but they're not.
Some of the most dangerous chemicals found in tap water are still there.
2) Avoid Water Pitchers with Filters - Lots of people are attracted to pitchers because the cost is low.
But, the filters need to be change very frequently which ends up being more expensive than installing a permanent water purifier on your home water lines.
Plus, these systems only remove a fraction of contaminants found in today's public tap water.
3) Avoid Systems that Remove Minerals - Studies have shown that drinking de-mineralized water is very unhealthy.
When your body becomes mineral deficient, free radicals start to form.
These can lead to getting serious diseases like cancer.
Reverse osmosis and distillation systems are the two types of technology that will remove all of the healthy minerals form your water.
Plus, it's worth noting that de-mineralized water taste terrible.
4) Shower Water - Not many people realize it but showering in contaminated water is just as bad as drinking it.
Your body will absorb the contaminants that are in the water through your skin.
You need a system that will also purify your shower water.
5) Carbon Filters - The FDA states that the best type of home water treatment systems to remove contamination use a carbon filter.
The best systems will have a carbon filter, sub micron filter, and an ion exchange.
When water passes through it, over 99% of all chemicals, parasites and metals will be removed.
Plus, the healthy minerals like potassium, calcium, and magnesium will still be there.
Believe me.
Once you apply these tips on home water treatment systems, you'll be on your way to having the purest source of drinking water possible coming from your taps.
