A water filter has become, in recent years, a necessity rather than just another object in your house. If you already have a water filter then you know and understand the importance of it, it ensures that your family has the best drinking water possible. The problem of contaminated not only exists in third world countries and people take for granted that the water that comes out of our taps is clean but the truth is that our tap water is also highly contaminated. Even though the water contamination in America is not half as bad as it is in third world countries, the problem still exists. There is an average of 45% of our fellow Americans who complain about the water that comes out of their taps, common complaints include the water having an odor and a bad taste to it. There is however a new complaint being made, that is, that the water which is being consumed is making people sick with diarrhea, head aches and a sore stomach. This new complaint is in my opinion the new endemic problem that will only get worse and is now diagnosed as water poisoning. A new discovery that has a lot of people worrying about their familys health is the fact that some chemical water poisoning cases have been linked to cancer.
How Am I Being Poisoned By The Water From My Taps?
While it is true that the water which you and I consume from our taps are certified clean enough to drink, it is not certified 100% free of disease carrying bacteria. If you live in the city then chances are the water youre consuming is from a municipal source. If you dont already know what a municipal source is then let me just say that the water youre drinking and bathing in is the result of recycled waste water. As disgusting as this may seem, the state of the art process involved in recycling this water back to purity is nothing short of revolutionary. However what may seem pure and clean with the naked eye is not the same when viewed under a microscope. When a droplet of water is viewed under the microscope you can see the millions of disease carrying bacteria that still exist even after the water has already been certified pure to drink. Even more dangerous is the chemicals like lead, chlorine and fluoride that still exist in the water after the purification process has been completed. These chemicals are necessary for disinfection however when overly used and overly consumed by the human body serious health issues start to take place.
I am not trying to condemn our water supplies rather I am only trying to highlight the fact that there are limitations in providing us with adequate pure water granted 100% to be free of bacteria and harmful chemicals.
What are some ways in which this problem can be eliminated?
To get rid of this problem is harder than most people realise and it cannot be entirely cured overnight, but it can be eliminated it in your household.
