You know that you cannot fully trust the purity of water flowing from your faucets. Municipal tap water also comes from recycled water, heavily chemically treated and passing through miles of rusty pipes that can get re-contaminated with bacteria, viruses or cysts before reaching your homes. Raw well water can contain dangerous bacteria, molds and chemical compounds causing bad taste and odor, or worst, make you and your family sick.
It seems like every day there is another story in the news about water contamination. House residents being told to boil their water because of coliform or e-coli bacterial contamination, People getting sick from eating lettuce and salad vegetables because the water they were washed in is contaminated.
Even more frightening are reports that heart disease, cancer, gastro-intestinal illnesses and even death can result from contamination in our water. Some of these contaminants are even added to water to protect our health.
Studies have shown since the 1960’s that the chlorination of drinking water increases the risk of developing heart disease, other organ diseases and cancer. Chlorinated water leaves behind chemicals that have been proven to cause cancer. These chemicals are even recognized as dangerous and are regulated by the EPA.
What about chemicals and drugs? Have you heard the reports of household chemicals and drugs and hospital wastes contaminating our drinking water? Then there are the heavy metals, fertilizers, pesticides, petroleum by-products, disinfection chemicals and the impact these may have on your family’s health.

Bottled water – A $22 billion dollar industry, 54% of the population drink bottled water. It is at least 1000% more expensive than tap water. The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) conducted a 4-year study on bottled water and these are some of the findings: One quarter of US bottled water is filtered municipal water. 103 out of 1000 brands contained synthetic organic chemicals and bacteria. Plastic bottles in which bottled water is typically sold are made of polyethylene terephtalate (PET) which can release phthalates that is carcinogenic. Plastic bottles are recycled up to 100 times before made into other products. Many brands have no expiration date and may have been sitting in warehouses for an undetermined period of time.
