The main constituent of our body is water with some parts, such as the liver, being 90% water. Without fresh clean water we would not survive and doctors say we must drink at least 64 fl oz every single day. Unfortunately nearly all water, in it’s natural environment such as lakes, also contains chemicals and organisms harmful to our health so it is necessary to treat all drinking water by using large industrial water filters.

Most of planet earth is covered by water but there are many regions that suffer a lack of it. In these areas the water that is available is often polluted and infected with bacteria and other organisms. In such places water filters are often the only way in which a person can obtain water clean enough to drink. However it is both surprising and upsetting that there are still a great many places that suffer from the lack of adequate water filtering equipment.

In modern western societies there are often a great many rules and regulations governing the quality of the water supplies to residential homes. Such rules stipulate exactly what levels of certain substances should be considered safe. In many communities it is common to find trace elements of dangerous chemicals and even chemicals which have been added. In such places water filters are commonly used to remove all of these substances.

Aluminum is a poison, a well known and very dangerous poison. Although no causal relationship has been found between aluminum and Alzheimer’s disease there appears to be a growing amount of circumstantial evidence linking the two. Over the last decade or so there have been claims and counter claims on the causes of Alzheimer’s disease which often make reference to aluminum.

Fluoride is now added to a great many water supplies around the globe in the belief that it helps prevent tooth decay. However, because fluoride can be extremely dangerous, especially to babies and young children, a number have conspiracy theories have developed around the reasons why it is added to so many drinking water supplies. Many such theories seem extremely unlikely but the question is often raised when there is actually little evidence supporting the official reasons. Even toothpaste, which contains the substance, has been known to carry very specific health warnings to deter people from eating even the smallest amounts.

Water filters help remove fluoride, aluminum and other harmful chemicals from the water. The effects of this can be clearly seen with the naked eye by making one cup of tea using filtered water and another with unfiltered water. You will immediately notice a strong difference in the color of the two drinks. So striking is the difference it really makes you wonder how much chemical content is added to our water.

There are various types of equipment available to clean water. Some are really cheap whereas some (mainly those of industrial scale) can cost a small fortune. However most of us can afford at least one of the small jug water filters which are available widely at very reasonable prices.

As well as making our water safer to drink filtered water takes on a completely different flavor. Hot and cold drinks will taste better and you will soon notice a vast difference between filtered and unfiltered water. The difference is so great that you will find it difficult to live without your water filter.
