Everything to do with hygiene draws back to water. It is also ironic that we suffer water challenges, yet the entire earth’s surface comprises of 70% water bodies. Tapped water may not be hygienic and safe for drinking as you may think, and that is why you should try out a water ionizer for the drinking water. A high-quality water ionizer will help flash out possible toxins in the water to a safe cellular level.
It is also important to note that safe water greatly impacts your health, and the average chlorinated water doesn’t guarantee that. Tap water travels through pipelines before it reaches your home, a delivery channel that you have no control over. Consequently, you can’t tell what happens in between the treatment facility and your tap. There is also a high possibility that pipe water picks a lot of contaminants along the way, which may include bacteria and other waste products. In brief, you have many reasons why you should install a water filter system at the office and, most importantly, in your home.
Do you still need enough reasons? Well, they include but aren’t limited to the following:
- Eco-friendly
How many bottles do you think your household will consume in a month? Well, that will be slightly over 100 maybe. If another 100 families also consume the same number, there will be a total of 1000 bottles that will contaminate the earth if not well recycled. An average plastic material takes about 1000 years before fully decomposing in landfills. The detrimental effect that such waste will have on earth will be felt for the next millennium!
On the contrary, water filters are eco-friendly because they are built for longevity, and you don’t have to dispose of them after a short while.
- Cost-effective
Installing an advanced water filter system in your home is cost-effective in many ways than buying bottled water. It is also cost-effective in that it can significantly help reduce the cost of plumbing repairs in your house, mainly if you depend on borehole water. The best thing about having a reliable water filter system is that you can also carry your water from home when traveling or when going for work. That way, you’ll save whatever you’ve been spending on drinking water while away.
- Improve the taste of water
Piped water has many elements that inhibit the natural taste of water. If you’ve been keen, drinking directly from tapped water leads to poor drinking habits because the water doesn’t appeal. In contrast, an advanced water filter system will eliminate contaminants such as Chlorine, foul smell, and bacteria to enhance the taste of water. A high-quality filter system will also lower the pH of water, which is good for stomach health. Improving the taste of water will likely change the drinking habits of everyone in that house. Drinking plenty of water is also healthy in terms of skin tone enhancement and maintaining a balanced pH in the body.
- Use less soap
There is no big difference between an advanced water filter and a water softener. Consequently, once you install a filter in the whole house, you’ll start experiencing the benefits of softened water, such as using less soap in laundry and dishes.
- Get rid of Chlorine
It is so ironic that Chlorine is acceptable in swimming pools, yet no one wants to consume much of it. The main reason is probably that Chlorine has a lower pH, making it acidic, hence dangerous for the body. When Chlorine is ingested, it reacts with your body water to form acid, which corrodes the cells. An advanced water filter system will get rid of Chlorine to safe levels (if not the whole of it) and save you from such a nightmare.
- Improve Gastrointestinal Health
Lastly, you might also want to consider improving your Gastrointestinal Health. The human digestive tract requires plenty of water to flush out waste and reduce the chances of blotting. High-quality water filters remove 99.99% of germs and bacteria hence eliminating micro-parasites that reside in water, which can compromise stomach health when ingested.
Generally, drinking safe water isn’t only healthy but also helps reduce stress knowing that your family is well-taken care of. Moreover, it gives you an upper edge when it comes to disaster preparedness, say a sewer line bursts.
Such a helpful post. Thank you! 🙂
I do not purchase water bottles anymore. But I do have a filtered water pitcher that we use each day. I agree it is very important to filter our water before drinking.
