Drinking Water Options?

​With so many options available, have you made the right decision when it comes to selecting your drinking water?  That is bottled, filtered, straight from the tap, or a combination of all?  This ARTICLE may help you in that resolve!
 
What is filtered water?
Water can be filtered using a physical barrier.  This methodology can employ a biological or chemical process that will remove or lower the amount of impurities embedded within the element.  Each process is effective in removing ‘certain types’ of impurities that affect the quality, taste and drinkability of water.
Currently the most popular method for filtering household water is activated carbon filtering, which involves pushing water through a physical & chemical carbon barrier that acts like a magnet trapping impurities into the carbon. 
 
What are the benefits of filtered water?
  • Health - many filters remove or reduce health contaminants that can be found in tap water that may include lead, copper, mercury and more.
  • Taste - common impurities such as chlorine and zinc can make water bitter and unpleasant to drink.  Activated carbon filters can make your water taste great, and even improve coffee and tea.
  • Value – you will have significant cost savings when you abandon bottled water for filtered. 
Bottle labels can be confusing, even misleading, thereby making it difficult for consumers to know how the water is sourced, treated or handled.  Bottled water can be processed, treated, packaged and distributed in a variety of ways depending on the manufacturer.   While consumer spend billions annually on bottled water, most of it is simply processed tap water!
 
Is bottled water safe?
Even though the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sets standards for bottled water, brands use a wide range of treatment methods and water sources.  It’s important to read labels carefully and investigate treatment processes if you have any safety concerns about the bottled water that you may drink.  Furthermore, some studies have found that 90-percent of bottled water contained microplastics.  
In addition to reducing plastic waste from our environment, microplastics are another compelling reason to go bottled-water-free.
