Do we really need a home water filter? Can't we just assume the
water that flows from our kitchen and bathroom tap is
sufficiently treated for contaminants by our municipal water
facility? In order to answer these questions, we need to obtain
a little more background information.
Next to air, water is the most important element for our
survival.
Water is an integral part of our life and we use it for many
household tasks throughout the day, such as: drinking and
brushing our teeth, steaming fish and vegetables, washing salad
greens, face and hand washing, showering and bathing, feeding
the pets and watering our plants.
Most of us take it for granted that our tap water is safe to
drink and use for common household tasks. The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), however, estimates that 45,000,000
people drink tap water that is polluted with chemicals, lead,
germs, parasites and other impurities.

A large majority of the major U.S. cities still employ the same
basic water treatment technologies that have been used since
before World War I. In cities such as Atlanta, Boston and
Washington, D.C. consumers are relying on pipes that are, on
average, over a century old. Many people dont realize that our
municipal water treatment plants are not designed to remove
synthetic chemicals and as a result we find traces of health
threatening contaminants in most of our public water supplies.
Situations arise when our tap water is polluted with more than
the usual amount of contaminants. Municipal treatment plants
have breakdowns that take time to repair. Lead leaches into our
drinking water from old pipes and private wells. Smaller
water-supply sources can become contaminated from agricultural
and other environmental pollutants.
It is difficult to be sure of the exact amount of toxins in our
water supply. The EPA has estimated that, in our modern society,
we use in excess of 75,000 toxic chemicals and more than 1000
new chemicals are developed each year. The Ralph Nader Research
Group after reviewing thousands of pages of EPA documents
acquired through the Freedom of Information Act concluded that
to date more than 2100 toxic chemicals have already been
detected in U.S. water supplies.
Our planet earth reuses the same water over and over again,
which means there is no "new water". Every single chemical used
in our society, eventually winds up in our water supplies. As
the use of synthetic organic chemicals increases, so does the

not effective at removing these toxic synthetic organic
chemicals.
The human body is made up of over 70% water. The proper function
of each organ system, as well as every healing process that
happens inside our body, takes place with water. Optimal
functioning is only possible when water, our body's transport
medium is clean. Wastes form during the body's metabolism and if
these wastes are allowed to accumulate through insufficient
water intake, fatigue and even illness results.
If we drink water that contains chlorine or other organic and
inorganic chemicals, we force our liver and kidneys to act as a
filter for these contaminants. The liver purifies and detoxifies
the blood of waste products and toxins. In addition to
regulating the body's water balance and maintaining optimal pH,
the kidney also removes metabolic waste products from the
bloodstream.
By providing the liver and kidneys with water, a universal
solvent and transport medium, they are assisted in their role as
a natural body filter. Bombarding these organs with water that
contains traces of additional toxins only hinders the body
detoxification process and delays waste removal.
Water may not cure every ailment, but it is a primary ingredient
that allows our body to dilute and eliminate toxins that have
accumulated over time.

The simplest, most effective and also the most economical way to
treat municipal tap water is a home water filter. Multi-media
water filters that combine activated carbon with iron exchange
media such as KDF are an excellent choice.
Carbon and KDF work together to remove or reduce traces of
contaminants such as chlorine, lead, Cryptosporidium and Giardia
cysts, synthetic chemicals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs),
MTBE, pesticides (lindane, atrazine), chemicals linked to cancer
(benzene, TTHMs, toxaphene) and hundreds of other chemical
contaminants that may be present causing bad taste and odors in
your drinking water.
The result is healthy, great-tasting water that still contains
natural trace minerals that are beneficial to optimal wellbeing
and health.
