Water Filters Are Essential Kitchen Appliances
The main constituent of our body is water with some parts, such as the liver, being 90% water. Without fresh clean water we would not survive and doctors say we must drink at least 64 fl oz every single day. Unfortunately nearly all water, in it’s natural environment such as lakes, also contains chemicals and organisms harmful to our health so it is necessary to treat all drinking water by using large industrial water filters.
Although most of the planet is covered in water there are also desert or arid places where there is hardly any water. People living in such places are far too often forced to drink poor quality water because of the scarcity of water and the lack of water filters. Many of the world’s charities have, for decades, been working to supply the technology to give these areas adequate fresh clean water supplies.
In western society many water companies operate under strict guidelines and laws which govern the quality of the water which they supply. Most legislation refers to the levels of organic matter such as bacteria and some refers to chemicals. Unfortunately some chemicals are added to our drinking water. Fluoride is added to help combat tooth decay and another additive is aluminum. As more of us become aware of these added substances more and more purchase water filters to remove them.
Aluminum is a poison, a well known and very dangerous poison. Although no causal relationship has been found between aluminum and Alzheimer’s disease there appears to be a growing amount of circumstantial evidence linking the two. Over the last decade or so there have been claims and counter claims on the causes of Alzheimer’s disease which often make reference to aluminum.
Fluoride is another chemical, found in water supplies, which is known to be poisonous. Strangely, if you read the back of many toothpastes on the market today you will notice the warnings against consumption of it, even in the smallest amounts. Even though it is added to water to help fight tooth decay what real evidence exists that supports this claim?
Water filters help remove fluoride, aluminum and other harmful chemicals from the water. The effects of this can be clearly seen with the naked eye by making one cup of tea using filtered water and another with unfiltered water. You will immediately notice a strong difference in the color of the two drinks. So striking is the difference it really makes you wonder how much chemical content is added to our water.
Of course there is a massive selection to choose from if you are in search of a water filter. Available in different sizes and, of course, different prices, there is a type of water filter available for virtually any need. Sizes range from the very small which filer a few cups of water, to the large systems installed to filter all of the household water. Even larger systems are available but usually for industrial installations.
As well as making our water safer to drink filtered water takes on a completely different flavor. Hot and cold drinks will taste better and you will soon notice a vast difference between filtered and unfiltered water. The difference is so great that you will find it difficult to live without your water filter.
