DRINKING WATER FILTER

There is nothing like a nice cold glass of water to quench your thirst on a warm sunny day.  Water is the number one thirst quencher in the world.  Especially since the human body is 61.8 percent water by weight.  Without water the human body would dry up from dehydration.  But not all water is good for the body.  For example, it would not be smart to drink from the sea.  Sea water has a high concentration of salt that will damage the cells of the human body, the salt will not allow the cells of our body to absorb the water and once again dehydration will occur.  Also, in some cities the city drinking water is not able to be consumed because it is full of harmful bacteria.  These microbes or bacteria include Coliform bacteria, E coli which can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms, turbidity which can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth and cryptosporidium. Cryptosporidium is a parasite that enters lakes and rivers through sewage and animal waste.

Now that you know what you are up against when not drinking clean water. Your next thought should be how can I clean my water. Well, there are multiple water filters on the market. To many to mention in such a small paragraph. But what I can mention is key signs to look for when trying to choose a model. The most popular of the drinking water filters that is on the market at this present time is the reverse osmosis filters. These are selling like hot cakes and you would think that they are the best choice for your water needs. But, I am sorry to say that they have flaws. One of the main flaws is that they demineralize the water, this means that the filters strip out the trace minerals like calcium and magnesium which we need in our water. Secondly, the RO filters let through the dangerous synthetic chemicals like pesticides and herbicides. This is possible because chemicals like these have such small structures.

How about those kitchen jugs filters? They seem like great ideas that are easy to buy and maintain. But these are probably the most expensive and ineffective water filter systems. They fail to remove harmful toxins.
