November 14, 2008, Newsletter Issue #138: Bottled Water vs. Tap Water

Tip of the Week

Because bottled water is held to exactly the same standards as tap water, buying bottled water won't necessarily protect you from the specific chemicals, minerals or pollutants that you're trying to avoid. The leeway in mineral and chemical limits is what accounts for the different taste between bottled water and tap water. Read the treatment information provided on the bottled water label to make sure that the quality of the bottled water is worth the extra price.

The only way to make sure you're doing all you can to avoid specific minerals in your drinking water is to purchase drinking water filters that are engineered to filter those minerals. Iron water filters, carbon water filters and more are available to keep you safe from whichever contaminant you are concerned about.

Do You Need A Shower Filter?

While everyone might not "need" a shower filter, everyone can certainly benefit from using a quality shower water filtration system.

People with respiratory problems, skin disorders or people who live on water systems that use chlorinated surface water, and most do, certainly should use shower filters.

Asthma, bronchitus, eczema and many other common ailments are very negatively affected by inhalation and absorption of chlorine and other chemicals while showering. Breast, colon and bladder cancer have all been linked to exposure to chlorine from drinking and shower water.
"Cancer rates for people on chlorinated water systems is 93% higher than for those on non-chlorinated water systems..." U.S. Council On Environmental Quality

Shower filters also offer great cosmetic benefits. Chlorine robs the skin and hair of their natural protective oils and "friendly bacteria", causing dryness, premature aging and many other potential health and asthetic problems.

Shower filters are easy to install, easy to use... and can be a very healthful and enjoyable addition to our daily lives.
