Simple home water testing and human
testing will let you know if your drinking water contamination is causing your health
problems
or if your water filter is working properly.
There are at least six types of
water contamination that may be found in your municipal tap water:
-
-
-
Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOC): pesticides and herbicides
-
-
-
Pharmaceutical
drugs

the health issues caused by water toxins.
Are water contamination and heavy metal toxins
contributing to your health issues? It's more common than you
think.
If you are not using a water
filter or shower
filter to purify your drinking
water, bath, pool, spa, hot tub and shower, you may be absorbing dangerous toxins and endangering your family’s,
pet’s and livestock's health.
Yes, you can absorb toxins through your skin(1) and the
steam you breath in your shower, bath, pool, hot tub and spa.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) admits you could have problems
with copper and lead in your body
if your home has copper or metal pipes.
According to the EPA "approximately
one in eight Americans is exposed
to potentially harmful microbes, pesticides, lead, or radioactive radon whenever they drink a
glass of tap water or take a
shower."(2)
EPA
states, "Household plumbing materials are the most common source of lead and copper in home drinking
water. Corrosive water may cause metals in pipes or soldered joints to leach into your tap water. Your water’s
acidity or alkalinity (often measured as pH) greatly affects corrosion. Temperature and mineral content also
affect how corrosive it is. They are often used in pipes, solder, or plumbing fixtures. Lead can cause serious
damage to the brain, kidneys, nervous system, and red blood cells. The age of plumbing materials — in
particular, copper pipes soldered with lead — is also important. Even in relatively low amounts these metals can
be harmful."(3)
The US EPA estimates that up to 20% of human
exposure to lead results from contaminated drinking
water.
Municipal water systems are only responsible for water quality leaving their treatment
facilities, not the water you drink in your
home.
My personal
story...
Caution: If you
keep reading this information and following the links on this website, your water activities will never be
the same, unless you test and filter your water.
On the following web pages I’m sharing my hundreds of hours of
review of the published research. Each statement I make on this website is backed by medical and research
references located at the bottom of appropriate pages.
This is important:
Test your water before and after filtering. Make sure
your water filters and shower filters are removing the toxins you, your home and business are challenged
with.
