Home Water Purification Secrets To Keep You Safe and Healthy

If you are looking to get a water purification device then it pays to learn which type to look for and which to avoid. With so many available, the choice can seem bewildering, but with a little knowledge the task becomes quite simple.

Unfortunately, home water purification has become almost a necessity today with all the contaminants and outbreaks of disease related to water pollution, and with many municipals introducing chloramines to clean the supplies instead of chlorine, the situation is deteriorating further.

Chloramine is a mixture of chlorine and ammonia and as it stays in the supplies for longer it leaches out toxic lead from the pipes, including the ones in your home. Therefore any water purifier you get needs to be able to take out lead effectively for starters as over 1 in 5 Americans now have their water treated this way.

The secret to pure, healthy water is to select a multi-step carbon block system with ion exchange and sub micron filtering as these are proven to remove 99% of all the bad stuff yet still leave in the essential trace minerals like calcium which are good for us.

The bad stuff includes an ever growing list of pesticides, herbicides, chlorine, lead, prescription drugs and PCB’s and it’s estimated that you have a 93% higher chance of getting cancer if you use chlorinated water, without some form of home water purification.

If you don’t get a whole house system to clean all your water, then it’s worth looking at getting a shower filter in addition to the regular countertop type as you can absorb more toxins, especially chloroform, in a 10 minute shower than by drinking over two liters of unfiltered water!

If you want the peace of mind that comes from having the most effective home water purification available to keep your family safe, then follow these guidelines and you can soon start enjoying great tasting healthy water as it should be, free from any harmful chemicals.

Poorly-Filtered Tap Water Not Recommended for Cancer Patients

A collective of specialists launches Tuesday a mischief on fragile human water health awareness campaign sometimes too loaded nitrates and pesticides. David Servan-Schreiber explanations.

Attention to the effects on your health of water from the tap in polluted areas. The Dr. David Servan-Schreiber, supported by a Committee * epidemiologists, oncologists and the WWF, association launches Tuesday a campaign of awareness on the quality of the evil water filtered in France and sometimes up to the French valves. Because if this water is “an average of good quality” recognizes the collective [92 % approximately, ed.], some French rivers always rely too high rates of chemical compounds, including in some agricultural areas. Harmful to fragile so-called persons and for those suffering from cancer particularly chemicals.

The Dr. David Servan-Schreiber, of the campaign “in 2007, 5.1 million people in France have been exposed to too high nitrate levels”, with respect to the figaro.fr. And scientific studies show already for several years that an excessive rate of nitrates in water consumed increases the risk of cancer. “In certain waters found also high rates pesticides and medicated residues”, develops the doctor. “These two substances are endocrine who can contribute to a progression of the disease.” “For evidence, they contribute to fish sex change in too polluted rivers”, he argues.

Filters or water mineral David Servan-Schreiber is also on the “new phenomenon” drug residues that found in certain rivers, including the watercourses are located near hospitals: “it is people urine”, he explains. “This is a new problem to which France is still most exposed as the rest of the world, our country being the main country in terms of drug consumption,” he develops. Result, these compounds do are not yet well filtered throughout the territory considers the collective. In addition, says David Servan-Schreiber, “no one knows what may be the effect of the mixture of all these drugs”, because in water, it can also find “traces of prozac as the anti-cancéreux or contraceptive pills still”, develops it.

“This is not to be alarmist”, explains the figaro.fr Bernard Cressens, Scientific Director of WWF. “Our message is to tell people: fill in you of your Council request scans your common water.” If your water is good, then no worries. “However, if this and you are a person called fragile, equip you accordingly”. For pollution, the collective advocates to obtain where of bottles of mineral water, whose purity is very controlled (decanter or directly fixed on tap) filters.
