The water purification process used by the treatment facilities are quite different than those used at home. Reverse osmosis or ultrafiltration is one of the steps used by the facilities, but not a good choice for the home, due to excessive cost, waste and the failure to remove the trace chemical contaminants that are causing many of our health problems.

Many people assume that going the bottled route is the only way to go. But ask them to try to explain water purification choices for bottling manufacturers. Most likely they won’t have a clue.

It is difficult to understand the steps that go into an effective water purification process or even an ineffective one. The safest and cleanest choice is a kitchen filtration device that includes a carbon block, a multi-media filter, micron-filter and ion exchange. It will also be less expensive than the bottled alternative.

Bottles will always cost more than simply using the faucet of your own sink. And, you can never be sure that the bottling company does not use an inferior water purification process.

Now imagine being able to explain water purification to your friends, giving them information about this fabulous system that would provide an unlimited amount of quality H2O for less than they spend on their bottles, every day. They will only be thankful if you promise to bottle for them.

If you understand the water purification process you can also understand how destructive the bottling industry is. If you’re concerned about the environment you should know that Americans purchased 31 million bottles in 2006. These bottles add to the waste that is putting severe strains on our natural resources.

If you’re using bottled, you still have to worry about contamination. This is because the federal government has guidelines that allow for small levels of many harmful materials. Some scary examples include lead, insecticides, septic tank cleaner, pharmaceutical drugs and more. Don’t leave this little tidbit out when you explain water purification to your friends and family.

The idea of a water purification process that leaves all of those things “in” and finds them acceptable is un-acceptable for my family. We want natural nutrients that give it a nice mountain spring flavor and nothing else. Now, when I explain water purification, I mention that the public treatment facility only does so much, we have to do the rest.

A high quality home water purification process is available that will last for many years and costs less than a pair of good tennis shoes. All you have to do is remember to replace the cartridges and one company has even taken care of that by offering the direct shipment option. So, what have you got to lose besides some worry and a bunch of plastic bottles in the recycling bin? Get your own water purification process today.

William Manning has spent the last 3 years completing his PhD in Nutritional Science. His thesis focused on the deteriorating condition of the water supply and how that affects human health and well-being.
