Water Purification Systems
The adult human body is made up of 60 to 70% water. A person's health depends on having adequate, clean, safe drinking water. According to a well known Indian physicist and activist "Water is the basis of life, and it can never be replaced"
The healthiest water is water that is free from contamination but still contains a natural mineral balance. Filtration systems are designed to selectively remove contaminants and allow the natural minerals to pass through.
Water along with oxygen makes up the components necessary for sustaining human life. It's also a necessary for sustaining animal and plant life which contain the necessary nutrients required for optimum healthy living, or for that matter life it self.
The water cycle decribes the process by which the earth has maintained the same amount of drinking water from the beggining of time. What's not the same as millions of years ago is the worlds population. The world's agriculture use of fresh water, (65% of fresh water) contamination of the fresh water supply. People have created well over 100,000 chemicals that were not previously part of the terrestrial environment.
So although earth never runs short of water, the quality of water's original life sustainnig state is seriously diminished!! The worlds growing populations, needing water for aggriculture use to grow food for consumption. Contaminents pesticides from the aggriculture industry as well as industrial operations well over 100,000 chemicals, affects the quality of the remaining 13% fresh water supplies for the US.
Most tap water is provided by EPA regulated municipal water supplies. Every single state in America, with the notable exception of Washington DC, had un-safe drinking water violations in 2001, affecting some 77,845,089 Americans.
Chlorine is the most widely used form of water treatment and disinfection. That doesn't mean you should be drinking it! Introduced in the late 1800 and became standard in water treatment about 1904 to combat the outbreak of the water borne desease like typhoid and cholera, that existed in the 1800's.
Although effective in eliminating these warter borne illnesses, chlorine, and thousands of newly created chemicals, that are not filtered by the chlorine disinfection, before they make it to Americas tap water, have created serious risk hazards, for the American population.
According to the U.S. Council of Environmental Quality, "Cancer risk among people using chlorinated water is as much as 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine" Although chlorine is the most widely used form of treatment & disinfection, and perhaps maybe the most cost effective does'nt mean it's the most effective, safest, or only way.
An at point of use ~faucet~ water purification system that filters out chlorine, and all harmful chemicals, that the chlorine disinfectant is not able to. Is the best solution to safer, healthier water.
