Do you care about the world our children will live in? If you do, then you probably care about clean water and realize how crucial it is to all forms of life. Whole house water treatment is one way to benefit your immediate family and keep trashy plastic bottles out of our landfills at the same time.
Bottled water is one of the biggest sources of pollution in the U.S. Well over 60,000,000 plastic bottles are produced, transported and disposed of every single day in the United States. And, sadly, many of these bottles are purchased by individuals who think they are doing the right thing for their loved ones' health and safety. Think again.
Not only are the bottles wasteful and may contain carcinogenic materials that do not degrade, the water inside is no better than municipal tap water. Indeed most bottled water is taken from city water supplies and just put into fancy labeled containers to be trucked long distances. That is crazy. A very efficient, safe alternative is having water treatment equipment in your own home. Home filtration is better quality water at one tenth the cost. And that is not even counting the tremendous expense and waste in fuel consumption used to supply those bottles to stores that you still need to drive to.
Deciding to purchase whole house water treatment certified by Underwriters Laboratories is cost efficient, convenient and totally under your supervision. In fact, home filtration is one of the best investments we can make in our health. This is a proven fact: the human body depends on water as its main fuel source. All metabolic processes take place in the presence of and depend on water. The function of all cells is controlled by electrical signals sent through the nervous system from the brain. The brain is more than 75% water. No wonder we are sluggish and cross when we are dehydrated.
In addition to the previous facts, toxins can only be removed through the blood and liver by the action of water. An adequate intake of good quality water is essential to longevity and health. Keep in mind that the quality of the water is equally important as the quantity. When water is chlorinated or otherwise polluted it can not function efficiently to detoxify our blood. Whole house water treatment allows you to have pure, clean water coming out of every faucet in your home. Bathing, drinking, brushing teeth and cooking with clean water will result in softer hair and skin, improved energy and better digestion in a matter of days.
Some systems are not as beneficial as others however. Avoid reverse osmosis, a process that results in lack of minerals and only delivers water suitable for steam irons, not humans. The best water treatment equipment will be easy to maintain, quickly installed by any plumber and come with a free lifetime warranty. Don't be fooled by companies that claim their products are made from certified components either. Only trust a whole house water treatment product that is certified completely. Always ask for certification information. You are an educated, thoughtful consumer or you would not be reading this information. Go the distance and keep asking questions until you are satisfied that the water treatment equipment you purchase will do the job you require.
