Water, water everywhere, but check your water before you drink. Smart advice! The best water filter may be the insurance you want. Read on for up to date info.
A timely report by non-profit advocacy group, Environmental Working Group, advises that the nation’s tap water has been compromised by weak federal standards and pitiful protection of our drinking water supplies. Additionally, the EWG has provided a website so you may check the amount of contaminants in your drinking water. Enter your zip code at http://www.ewg.org/tap-water/whats-in-yourwater and I bet you will be as surprised, as I was.
The info is current as it was collected from individual state agencies between 2004 and 2009. The problem appears to begin with the source water the utilities must use. It is contaminated from pesticides, pharmaceuticals, industrial and human and animal waste. Understand, all water is re-circulated and we can no longer dip water from an ancient, stone covered well with a pure aquifer beneath! The necessary chemicals (especially chlorine) are added to kill dangerous bacteria, before sending it down the pipe to you. The added chemicals add their own problems. Hazardous byproducts (like chloroform) are released by chemical disinfection. And, it’s in your water.
So we are back to the question of how to have clean, pure drinking and bathing water in our homes. The obvious answer is to use the best water and shower filters manufactured, with strict standards, in the USA. It is a simple solution that is not as costly as one would think – especially when considering the value received.
The best water filters are manufactured by Aquasana (see discounted price) and are guaranteed to your satisfaction. Having converted my kitchen tap and showers has increased the pleasure of having a cool drink of water and knowing my cooking water is not tainted with chemicals I do not choose to include in our meals. And showering with a filter to remove chlorine is really nice. I’m happy not to be inhaling chemicals from the warm misty water and I love the way my hair and skin feel. I didn’t realize how drying the coating of chlorine was to my skin and hair. Even hair styling products work much better on truly clean hair. Watch the “Easy Install Video.”

When you look at the Aquasana site, be sure to notice that it is a Consumers Digest “Best Buy” for all types of water filters. The filters come with detailed, and easy, instructions for installation. And, I only have “girl tools.”
Congratulations for being curious about contaminants in your water supply and seeking a simple solution. Drinking or showering in water that has chlorine is very aging to your body, and especially your hair. Nobody wants that . Cheers to you and your good health and happiness!
