EZ Clear Water

Yahoo recently reported from an Associated Press review that an environmental contractor dramatically underreported the level of a cancer-causing chemical found in tap water at Camp Lejeune, then omitted it altogether as the Marine base prepared for a federal health review.

It would seem that the Marines had been warned of challenges caused by fuel tank leaks which resulted in benzene getting into the water table.

Bottom line is that there were always fingers pointing to the service men and their families about the cancers and other ailments that they endured when in fact, the base was the problem.

Sad to say, but it would appear that there really isn’t government agency that we can trust when it comes to our health.  We need to be proactive insuring our families health is protected.  A water filter goes a long way towards doing so.

The thing that jumped out at me when I looked at the list is it would seem if you are either in the Navy or work in a Naval town, you have a good chance of living in one of the worst cities for water quality according to the Environmental Working Group.

The research and advocacy group looked at water quality tests performed by water utilities since 2004 and created an extensive database that contains info on the contaminants found in 48,000 communities in 45 states.

What does this mean?

The upshot of all of this is that if you happen to live in one of the towns listed in this report, your water supply may be exposing you to contaminants that you may not want to either ingest or even come into body contact with.

Knowing what is in your water is key!

Once you know which contaminants are present, you can find the best filter to get rid of them.

Is bottled water the answer?

We agree with the report that buying bottled water is not the answer.   It’s expensive and takes a toll on the planet with the millions and millions of plastic bottles that are the aftermath.

Cities with the worst water:

1. Pensacola, FL
2. Riverside, CA
3. Las Vegas, NV
4. Riverside County, CA
5. Reno, NV
6. Houston, TX
7. Omaha, NE
8. North Las Vegas, NV
9. San Diego, CA
10. Jacksonville, FL

Your city not on the list? Here is the full 100-city listing.

Water filters are quickly becoming necessary as studies show we have an excess of 80,000 toxic chemicals in our water. Improper care, replacement or simply choosing the wrong home water filters could put you in serious danger. Below are a few tips to make sure you are protected.

Understanding the mechanics of house water filters can help choose the right water filtration system for you. A reverse osmosis (RO) system has a filter for toxins; however, whole house water filtration system is the only fully effective method to remove chloramines, chlorine and other dangerous chemicals.

It is important to not only filter out chemicals but also to filter harmful heavy metals without filtering the essential minerals such as magnesium and potassium. The WHO, world health organization recommends leaving magnesium and potassium in our drinking water for our health. Quality whole house water filtration works to remove lead from water as well as other heavy metals without stripping the beneficial minerals.

Today’s best technology includes carbon filtration that bind contaminates while leaving vital minerals there. High quality whole house water filtration systems uses a serious of filters to remove 99% of all known contaminates from the source, where the water enters the home. This means that the water for drinking, showering, bathing, washing dishes with and washing clothing with is clean and safe.

Since skin absorbs what it comes in contact with, leaving ourselves unprotected in the shower presents risks from absorbing chemicals as well as inhaling the toxins from the steam. With simple under sink water filters for drinking, contaminates that are left on our dishes and left in our clothing presents health risks that whole house water filtration removes.

All water filters must be replaced on a regular basis to continue to be effective. Once installed, follow the suggested cleaning and replacement requirements that come with your filtration system to be fully protected. Under sink water filters can become ineffective within 6 months leaving you unprotected. Shower head filters too can quickly become ineffective. Regular maintenance of your chosen filtration system is necessary in order to continue to benefit from the filters.

Large whole house filtration systems come with a multi level filtration. The first filter on the system will often need to be changed about every 6 months; however, the next level(s) of filtration can last 3 to 5 years. The multi levels of filtration offer more protection and security.

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.

Reverse Osmosis systems are known to be used best for desalinating water. It is a trusted process employed by a lot of industries to treat their cooling systems. Since the advent of home based filters, the reverse osmosis system had also been used to filter water even for our drinking consumption.

The process of reverse osmosis is pretty simple. A semi permeable membrane acts as a filter to choose only what type of substance it would let pass through and water is constantly forced through it by pumps. Bacteria and other contaminants are left out and only clean water is allowed to pass. Anything the semi permeable membrane would reject would be discarded as waste water.

Osmosis was likened to it as reversed because in natural osmosis the less salty water separated by a semi permeable membrane is pushed by the osmotic pressure to go to the saltier water to attempt to even out their concentrations.

This osmotic force is duplicated by pumps and instead of less concentration to more concentration; the reverse osmosis does it the other way. The more concentrated water is assumed to be the untreated or contaminated water and pushed to the semi permeable membrane to become less concentrated or free of impurities.

The process of reverse osmosis is efficient and effective if the natural way of the process is duplicated to perfection.

This is where the problem arises. All the process involved with reverse osmosis including the electric pumps and constant flowing untreated water requires power and resources. The artificial semi permeable membrane needs to be replaced on regular basis. The filtering capability is only as good as how the semi permeable membrane was made for. In many cases, reverse osmosis would even block out healthy minerals needed by our bodies.

Reverse osmosis also wastes water. On the average, only about 15%-25% of the processed water could be consumed. The remaining are discarded as waste water.

Your house pipelines could also be compromised. Since reverse osmosis produces acidic water and acid eats up metal, it may aid in pipeline corrosion.

After considering the inefficiency in operating power, the water wastage, the expensive maintenance, tasteless water stripped of all minerals, and the disintegration of your house pipeline structure, one should have careful consideration before using reverse osmosis as a house 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.
