Drinking Water Treatment Systems - Do Not Put Yourself at Risk

Drinking water treatment systems make news all over the world. It is quite clear to me that every home in the world needs its own drinking water purification system. What you don't see can damage your health and even kill you. There is no way to be truly sure that what you are about to drink is clean and pure just by looking at it.

If you rely on the public drinking water treatment systems to protect your health, then you are making a big mistake. If you have a family, you are putting their present and future health at risk.

Many people are aware of the risks, or at least the unpleasant taste, so instead of purchasing an economical drinking water purification system for their home, they buy bottled. The bottles are causing further pollution to the environment and there is no guarantee of safety.

If you choose to buy bottled, you should call up the company and ask them what drinking water purification system that they use. If they hesitate, then you might want to switch to a different brand. The bottling company may be relying on the efforts made by their local drinking water treatment systems. They are not required to provide something safer than tap-water, only something that is equivalent.

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration governs the bottled waters industry. They say that it is only practically to assume that a bottle may contain a variety of impurities including traces of E coli.

In that respect, you are better off sticking with what the drinking water treatment systems provide to your home, because they are not allowed to send out anything that is contaminated with E-coli. If there was some kind of problem at the facility, they are required to inform their customers.

But, they are not required to test for or remove cryptosporidium cysts. Some do. Others do not. Cryptosporidium cysts can make you just as ill as E-coli. During an outbreak in Milwaukee, over 100 died from cryptosporidiosis, the disease caused by the cyst. Subsequently, the city's drinking water treatment systems were changed and one facility was closed.

Accidents happen, but there is no reason to risk being exposed to an accident that could kill you. You buy car insurance. You have health insurance. A home drinking water purification system is inexpensive by comparison. It is far less expensive than buying bottled.

If you have the right drinking water purification system in your home, you can remove cryptosporidium cysts; chlorine, its cancer causing by-products, the toxic metal lead, herbicides, pesticides and a variety of other chemicals that might not kill you quickly, but are likely to cause you health problems down the road.

The only thing that a good point of use drinking water purification system will not remove is E-coli. If you are warned of E-coli contamination, you should filter first and then boil. Please, stop relying on the municipal drinking water treatment systems to completely protect your health. Do it yourself.
