Water Purifiers & Water Filters for Australia

 Why You Need a Home Water Purifier

By R. Lee Cole: I'll be honest with you. I used to think having a home water purifier was a luxury, or at least not completely necessary. Then I started doing some research into the purity of our water supply. All I can say is "Wow!" Needless to say, I changed my mind completely. Now, I think that having a home water purifier system is not just a good idea--it's an absolute necessity. Here's what I found out that so completely shocked me about the quality of the water I was drinking. The first thing I leaned was that there is a lot more flowing out of our taps than just plain old "H2O".

Good water is not only just pure water, from a chemical point of view, but it has a number of trace minerals in it. These trace minerals not only make the water taste great, but they are absolutely necessary for our good health. Take calcium, for instance. Calcium is found in trace amounts naturally in our water. We need that calcium for the proper functioning of our bodies. So much so, that if we don't get it, our bodies will start leaching calcium from our own bones in order to supply itself with the calcium it needs. That was, in some sense, the good news. Now for the bad news. The number of toxins and even organic pathogens found routinely in our tap water is completely astounding. Your tap water is very likely to have traces of at least one pesticide in it. Studies have been done of larger American cities where they found not one, not two, but three or more pesticides in the water supply! The problem does not stop there. Traces of prescription drugs have been showing up more and more in our water supply!

Some scientists think one of the reasons we have a growing problem with drug-resistant bacteria is we're ingesting antibiotics through our food and water. Another issue that caught my attention was the fact that most of the water filtration systems in America are about one hundred years old. I thought water filtration was some sort of complex, high-tech process. It's not! All most water treatment plants do is filter the water through some sort of sediment bed, then add in a little chlorine. The sediment filtration gets out particulate matter. The chlorine kills the bacteria.

Unfortunately, there are a couple of problems with this. Filtration can't filter out a lot of toxins, such as PCP's and lead. Also, chlorine is actually a poison! (It was used as a weapon of mass destruction in World War I!) Bottom line is our tap water contains a lot of ingredients you don't want to drink. So, why a home water purifier? Why not just bottled water? Once again, I was appalled by what I found out. Bottled water is no safer than tap water! Actually virtually all bottled water is just tap water that been bottled. You know those labels that show high mountain glaciers and pristine springs? That's virtually all bogus. The water in that bottle no more came from an unexplored deep aquifer than the water running out of my tap did!

Surprisingly, bottled water has fewer restrictions on it than tap water! Water is not just a central component, but perhaps the central component of our health. Our bodies are 70% water. (Your liver is 96% water!) Not only do we need water to live, but we need pure water with the trace minerals left in and the toxins taken out. A home water purifier system is the only way to get the quality of water you need for optimum health. About the author: To learn more about home water purifiers, visit my website! R.
