EZ Clear Water

Need clean, healthy water? Think EZ Clear Water

Water Softener or Water Filter?

Water, the substance we depend on for survival; odorless, colorless and tasteless yet fundamental to the survival of all life. Water will dissolve nearly everything it comes in contact with and carries that with it. Knowing that our water supply is safe is important and knowing potential problems with the water coming into our home and how to make our water safer and better for us is equally important.

There are a number of potential problems that can occur with the water that comes into our homes; high levels of calcium, minerals and sediment, otherwise known as hard water. Hard water can be really difficult on your home’s plumbing and appliances and for many years people would turn to water softeners that use salt to lessen the harmful effects of hard water.
Unsafe water is another problem we face with our water today. Water with bacteria, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and carcinogens are in large numbers in the public and well water systems. It is common for people to install under sink water filters to provide safe and filtered drinking water. Often the best drinking water filters are installed to remove as many contaminates as possible. This takes care of just the drinking portion of the water we use every day.

Some water softener companies are adding filters to their salt source water softening systems and going door to door selling them and promoting them as home water filtration systems. They unfortunately are not full spectrum filters that will fully protect the home from the vast array of contaminates in the water. Further more, these systems use salt to ‘soften’ the water which is very damaging to the environment and can cause additional health concerns above the water contaminates the ‘filter’ does not catch.
Homes that need a way of softening the water as well as wishing to find security in their water that a whole house water filtration system provides will often be disappointed by the choices they face. A nano-filtration system offers both, a salt free water softener as well as a full spectrum whole house water filtration.

A water filter to remove lead, remove arsenic from water and remove chloramines is combined with a softening system that does not use salt or chemicals. These systems are suited for well water, river water, and even public utilities water and are environmentally safe.

Feel confident that all the water that is used in your home is safe and treated. By filtering and treating the entire house you can feel confident that the water used to wash clothing and dishes is safe. The water your children bathe in and play in is free of harmful bacteria, viruses, pharmaceuticals and carcinogens from the detergents added to the water. Safe water and soft water can be had; be careful of the door to door sales that try to convince you that their salt water softener with a water filter will protect you.

Contamination from tap water pipelines

Water tap providers are regulated by the government to comply to health standards before they could operate. In response, they make sure that they only use the approved amounts of cleaning chemicals like chloramines, chlorine, and fluorine. This treated water is then distributed by pipeline infrastructure to our homes.

Though the level of water purity may be acceptable as soon as water leaves the treatment plant, a lot of times, contamination may happen on the long pipe journey to reach our homes.

Lead poisoning is a common problem partly caused by pipeline contamination. Lead is used in many pipe connecting lines. The soldering joints to copper pipes are also sources of lead that dissolves in water. Usually if water sits in a pipe for six hours, it would contain a higher amount of lead if your pipeline uses lead pipes or fittings.

Since 1986, Congress has regulated the amount of lead used on pipes, faucets or any pipe fittings that would need the use of lead solder. For the lead solder, not more than 0.2% is allowed, while on lead pipes and faucets, not more than 8%.

Lead was a preferred choice back in late 19th century and early 20th century. Not until the negative health effects had been documented, it was widely used throughout the states.

Rusting is a major cause of leaks. Once a pipeline is leaked, microorganisms may combine with the water. Other natural minerals may also leak in amounts of harmful metals like mercury and arsenic, depending on where the pipes pass through. Rust is formed by the reaction oxygen and iron when exposed to water or air. The flaking on the surface of contact would eventually lead to pipe disintegration.

For the most part, lead pipes had been replaced with copper or iron nowadays. Rust proofing had been improved with modern methods. The sad reality is that there are still reports of lead contamination every now and then due to unchecked lead levels on our water tap. We could always rely that the government is doing its job to regulate and check compliance of water providers. But we should also consider that it would be difficult to make sure regulations are followed to the letter all the time. The better way to deal with it is to make sure that protection would start the moment water flows in our homes through commercial home water filters systems.

 

These days water contaminants are the kind you can’t see – toxic chemicals causing cancer, birth defects, infertility, and more. I’m relieved to know I’m now protecting my family’s health because we use state-of-the-art water filtration by Selecto Inc., made right here in the USA. Selecto has been innovating for commercial customers for 25 years. Now these superior filtration systems are available for home and office use through ezclearwater!

Water to lose weight?

Let’s assume that you are currently in the process of shifting to a healthy lifestyle. You jog at least a mile every morning, did away with those candies, sleep at least 8 hours a day, and of course eating just right. It may seem odd but recent studies show that water could actually help lose weight. Well, it’s not like you need to lace it with some fat burning substance or dissolve pills that takes away your appetite. There is but one simple rule, you drink it. Of course it may sound a bit silly, you drink everyday anyway so what else do you need to with it? This is how it works, instead of consuming amounts of SSB (sugar-sweetened-beverage) you substitute water for it. Now that’s easy.

Researchers from Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and the Harvard School of Public Health conducted a study. They concluded that in two days, for ages 2-19 up to 235 excess calories are gained from these SSB’s or any sweetened liquid beverage. By simply drinking water in place of them you are indirectly losing by not gaining any. In a different perspective, according to an expert, a 15 yr old boy would have to jog for 30 minutes just to lose the calories from one can of soda. Imagine doing that for all sodas that you may consume in a day. How many non-water beverage do we consume for a day? A week? A month? Think of the total excess calories that we should’ve avoided. Even without the calorie loss benefits, the savings from refraining from SSB’s should also be taken into consideration. An active lifestyle is still the most effective option but not all have the time for it. Now consider this, we pay so much just to stay fit. In reality we are just paying to lose what we shouldn’t have gained to begin with.

Bottled Water or Water Filtration System?

Bottled Water or Water Filtration System?

Chlorine, Chloramines, microscopic particles, pharmaceuticals and a host of contaminates and toxins enter our homes every day through our faucets. Today it is common to see a home with under sink water filters, drinking water filters or a bottled water system to provide clean and safe water for drinking. But even the best drinking water filters leave you unprotected in the shower, washing clothing and even using your dishwasher. Without a whole house water filtration system you are not protecting the health of your family from the exposure to harmful unfiltered water.

Additionally, the quality of our air is affected by the lack of whole house water filtration! Harmful chemicals in the water such as chloramines and chlorine can release vapor into the home when the water is running and this can cause respiratory problems and trigger asthma.

Home water filters protect the entire home by filtering from the source; where the water comes into the home. The water is filtered with a broad spectrum filtration protecting you in the shower, your children in the bath, your clothing in the wash and your dishes too! The air quality is protected as well since any water that is run in your home will have been filtered first.

A few facts regarding water may help you to fully understand the importance of whole house filtration instead of simply providing bottled water.

First, one danger comes from bisphenol A or BPA in plastic water bottles which is shown to be hazardous to humans, yet is still in use. This doesn’t even include the damage to the environment of a huge number of plastic bottles that reach the land fills.

Second, the maximum safe level for chlorine set by the EPA is 4.0 mg/L for an adult; however, for children they say 3 mg/L is safe. Many treatment facilities report levels between 3.2 and 3.9 mg/L. This is barely safe for a full size adult, the smaller adults and children are left unprotected and the elderly and infants and those who are sick and need extra protection often get worse.

It is not enough to avoid drinking chlorine or chloramines. The body absorbs the chemicals and contaminates it comes in contact with like when bathing or showering. Additionally, vapors are also absorbed through the skin and inhaled in showers. All of the chemicals and contaminates then enter the bloodstream.

With this in mind, during an average shower it is a safe assumption that you can consume more chemicals and contaminates that you will by drinking it; particularly if you are a kid who loves playing in the tub for a long time. House water filters offer you the safety in the tub that the best drinking water filters or bottled water system will not.

A whole house water filtration system removes chloramines, chlorine, lead, arsenic, pharmaceuticals and other chemicals and contaminates from the water. This leaves you with safe water from any tap in your home and leaves your air clear of the pollutants that can occur from the tap.

City Water, Well Water, Bottled Water: Know What You’re Drinking

City Water, Well Water, Bottled Water: Know What You’re Drinking

We all depend on water for our survival and we all have it running in our homes. Regardless of if you are using city water, well water and bottled water you run the risk of taking in toxins and contaminates; some sources run a bigger risk than others. Do you know what is in your drinking water? It is often chlorine, chloramines, lead, pesticides, pharmaceuticals and even feces and without the best drinking water filters you may be at risk!

Our drinking water quality continues to fall and the government is not doing much about it. Chlorine or worse yet, chloramines are being added to our water supply to act as a disinfectant and with the levels used this in itself poses a serious risk. Even purchased drinking water programs often fail to filter out all of the chemicals and contaminates in the water used and many of them do not remove chloramines. Chloramines are a combination of chlorine and ammonia and can become carcinogenic when combined with some organic compounds, the same organics that are commonly found in our water sources. Another problem is posed with bottled water and that is the toxins that are in the bottles. BPA in plastic drinking water bottles has been linked to cancer making another concern we must keep in mind with our drinking water.

Additionally our ground water is suffering much contamination with the huge level of pesticides, animal feces from farming and other contaminates that reach our ground water and put us in risk. This is why, no matter what the source of your drinking water is, water filters are a necessity.

We have established that water filters for our drinking water such as under the sink water filters are a must, but can we really afford to neglect the contaminates and toxins that are in the water that we shower in, wash our clothing and dishes in and brush our teeth with?

The human body contains about 60% water. The quality of the water we drink is important; however, equally important is the water we expose our bodies to. Our skin absorbs everything that it comes in contact with including contaminates and toxins that are in the water while we shower. The longer we are exposed to the water the worse that exposure is and children who enjoy playing in the bath for thirty to forty minutes are at an increased risk. This can be lessened greatly with the installation of a whole house water filtration system.

We need water to survive; however, that survival can be made much longer when the water is pure and clean and free from toxins. If you are not using the best drinking water filters or better yet, whole house water filtration, you may be consuming chlorine, sediments including rust, drugs, industrial waste, animal waste and in total about 80,000 chemicals and toxins.

City water, well water and even bottled water is simply not always safe for human exposure. High quality water filters can protect you and your family from the harmful and often deadly contaminates in the water. With all the pollution and toxins in the world today that increase our risks of cancer, home water filters can greatly reduce some of the risks.
