Learn Why Drinking Pure Water Is Essential For Good Health

The contamination of municipal water / tap water by chemicals and bacteria is far bigger than most people realize. Scientists around the world state that it is no longer safe to drink tap water which is unfiltered and impure. Our actual municipal water supply is far from being clean and pure. Instead it is polluted, containing hundreds of toxic substances that might attack our health system.

For approximately 100 years now our municipal water system adds chlorine, ammonia, fluoride (fluoride increases the growth rate of tumors) and other dangerous substances to disinfect and "clean" the water. However, drinking, cooking and bathing with that water can cause major health risks.

The US Council of Environmental Quality mentioned that the cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those who drink water without chlorine. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises people, and especially people with weakened immune systems, to boil water or use water purification and filtration systems to filter water before drinking. The American Academy of Microbiology warns of global threats to drinking water, even in developed countries.

The reason for this alarming development is that the US has a booming population that demands safe water - but pollutes the environment at a constantly rising rate. We produce more dangerous microorganisms that resist our cleaning efforts and see, at the same time, more people with vulnerable immune systems susceptible to these contaminants.

According to one Article in the Houston Series ('Tap Water at Risk'), about 900 people in the US die from contaminated tap water each year. Additionally, an estimated 940,000 people get ill or sick from contaminated water each year. Just a few years ago a survey conducted by the Environmental Working Group in 29 Midwestern cities concluded, that in 28 of them pesticides were found in their treated tap water.

The need to effectively filter water is continually rising. Drinking unfiltered and impure tap water is no longer a safe option as it attacks our health system.
Above that, the purification of tap water at home with effective water filtration systems or water purifiers eliminates the need to buy bottled water which saves hundreds of $ per year (the costs of filtered water are less than 1/10 of the costs of bottled water!).
