Know Before You Buy, Ask: "is Bottled Water Better Than Tap?"

This sounds strange, but suppose an alien creature walked out of its space ship and strolled around in a large, populated region of Earth? What if it saw cases and cases of bottled water, and saw lots of people carrying and drinking bottled water? Suppose that same alien then walked into a home and discovered that water flowed from each faucet in that home. Wouldn't that visitor from another planet have reason to ask: "Is bottled water better than tap water?"

Everyday, a large number of consumers purchase bottled water. Yet only a small percentage of those same consumers have bothered to ask this question, "Is bottled water better than tap water?" The government has OK'd the sale of bottled water. Growing numbers of people enjoy the availability of bottled water. Therefore, most people have assumed that bottled water is a safer form of refreshment than tap water.

Environmentalists have alerted the public to the dangers inherent in tap water. The Environmental Working Group has announced that 28 out of 29 residences tested positive for weed killers, during a recent examination of the potential health risks in tap water. Some of that weed killer went into baby formula, formula that was prepared for 45,000 infants.

Many concerned mothers use bottled water to make baby formula, because they do not want their infants to ingest any lead. When a young child drinks lead-laden water, than that child could develop a learning disorder. When adults drink water with a high lead content, then those adults could later exhibit signs of hypertension.

The United States no longer has an effective method for assuring delivery of clean and safe water to every household. Municipal water supplies contain contaminants that can not be removed by existing water treatment methods. Some municipalities even have tiny micro-organisms in their water supply.

Yet access to clean and safe water should be a fundamental part of any form of preventative medicine. Do members of the public welcome the chance to get a cold or other virus? No, they do not. Members of the public simply fail to ask, "Is bottled water better than tap water?"

Moreover, because few people ever think to ask, "Is bottled water better than tap water?" only a limited number of people provide their bodies with the ability to fight disease causing microbes. Only a limited number of people refresh themselves with the proper amount of healthy, mineral-rich water. Only a limited number of people equip their bodies to face and conquer any group of daily challenges.

The body deals with daily challenges by making sure that every organ contains healthy, new cells. Yet the body must have a source of clean water, in order to make new cells. Filtered water provides homeowners with a ready source of clean, good-tasting water.

In conclusion, a growing number of homeowners and business owners have chosen to invest in carbon filters. When used in combination with ion filtration and micron filtration, carbon filters are the best choice. The homeowner or business owner who has made that choice can expect to sleep soundly. He or she should feel certain that employees, home residents and guests, all can quench their thirst, using water with a demonstrated level of purity. Such water keeps both residents and workers safe, safe from unseen dangers.
