Filters are only some of the precautions people can take against perfluorochemicals, or PFC as they are more commonly called. This is a new chemical and the studies on it are not very extensive yet, but the scientists are getting into that. It turns out this new chemical is found almost everywhere – in the air, in the underground water, in peoples blood. In 2001 the Michigan State University research found out that PFC was part of the blood profile of more than 400 different animals in the region. Then another study has been conducted, but this time it involved people. They had a very high concentration of this chemical in their blood as well. PFC can lead to cancer. It is not yet discovered how it travels and how it gets as far as it does, but scientist are suspicious that it moves around easily and is all over the place. Here is where PFC chemical can be found – non stick cookware, your nail polish, lotion, shaving cream, makeup, and powder if they have “perfluoro” or “fluoro” on the label. You can find it in the packaging of fast food like pizza boxes or French fries containers, the popcorn bags you put in the microwave also have it.

Install a water filter in your house and make sure you do not consume yet another chemical through your water as well.

Take some time to think about how many people around the world live and imagine their hardship. Get involved in a charity and help these people have at least one water filter cartridge in their household!

In general the best spot for the water cooler would be the kitchen, though if you have a small kitchen consider placing it somewhere near the kitchen, dining room, or living room. There are some water coolers that are actually small enough to be placed on your countertop if you find that there isn’t enough space in your kitchen for it, and no possible way to get the plumbing out. Positing it in a high traffic area in your home, as it is essential to drink water, and having the cooler in plain view will ensure that. The water filter in your cooler will ensure that the water you drink is clean and fresh, and that every time you get a glass of water you will know that you are really drinking to your health.

The water filter will prevent you from getting sick and will soften your water.

Water Filters Remove Radioactive Particles

 Japan and their destroyed nuclear plant. All of a sudden, everybody starts to wonder what is going to happen if that same thing happens in their own country. As you all know a person can survive without food longer, but without water, they are doomed to perish very quickly. There is a new filtration technique expected on the market that will eliminate radioactive particles from drinking water. If anything happens and the water is polluted with by-products and radioactive waste, these filters can come to the rescue. It is believed that they will eliminate 100% of radon 222, caesium 134, uranium and radium. The iodine can be eliminated up to 91 percent with this filter. This product is tested by an independent lab, which means the results are reliable. This product will be of enormous help to the Japanese, because they are still fighting with radiation and it seems this is going to continue for years to come. Some countries like the US, for example who have 104 nuclear reactors, may also benefit from the filters if disaster strikes.

Do not wait for a radiation pollution to contaminate your water. Start taking care of your health today and check out our amazing water filters.

Chemicals in Drinking Water

 Here is another example of how chemicals that cannot be seen with plain eyes can do you harm. In the United States, particularly Yakima country, very disturbing lab tests have surfaced these days. It appears that the levels of nitrates in the water over there are quite elevated. Nitrates have been found in 20 percent of the wells owned by private owners in the area. Nitrates can easily reach the water supply system from underground, coming from the septic systems or from the fertilization manure used in farm fields. The nitrates do not have any colour or odour and are hard to detect without tasting the water. They can have a very harmful effect on infants, elderly people or pregnant women. The county has informed people about the nitrate level elevation and has asked them to apply for free filters installation. They have sent over 8000 packets of information about the nitrates, test strips for water and application forms for the free filters. Not all households have returned the applications yet and this is why the county has extended the deadline for the nitrate filters until the 31 May – they want to give a chance to every family to have safe drinking water. Try to be water conscious and install a water filter in your house – do not wait for a health scare emergency to do so.

Prevent Health Problems with Water Filters

People think that water from the tap is safe to drink, but as we have informed you earlier in our blog, there are so many potential harmful chemicals inside, that it might be a good idea to buy a filtration system soon. 

We have done a little research on the subject and here are the results. These chemicals have been found in tap water in different areas.

Fluoride in water is related to lower IQ in children, who were exposed to high dosage of it. Larger amounts of it lead to Alzheimer’s disease.

Chlorine may cause respiratory problems. High levels of Mercury will cause tremors, aggression and possible suicidal tendencies. Hexachlorobenzene is a chemical, used as a pesticide, but it can distress the enzyme activity and cause cancer. Lead is also found in tap water and it may disturb the nervous system, cause damage to the blood vessels and the brain. Dioxin is another chemical that can cause cancer, as well as DDT, which can also give you diabetes.

No one will inform you what exactly is in your tap water and the worst part is that some of those chemical are a result of medical waste.

Do get a water filter for your house, because you better be safe, than sorry. Call us today and we will give you all the necessary information on you new filtration system.

Harmful Chemicals in Tap Water and Why you Need a Water Filter System

 The main problems people have with the water from the tap are fluoride, chlorine and other contaminants like THMs, heavy metals and so on.

Let start with the chlorine. People started using chlorine to kill water borne diseases such as typhoid and cholera. Chlorine quickly proved its great ability to kill just about everything harmful in the drinking water and because it was cheap it gained wide popularity. A lot of big cities grew because of it – it kept epidemic outbreaks away from them. However, here is why it is considered to be dangerous as well. Chlorine is a poison and only controlled amounts of it are used into water, but nobody can tell you the effects it will have on your health over a lifetime. This chemical can react with organic matter in the water, like decaying leaves, sediment and bark and this reaction creates a family of some very dangerous other chemical – the trihalomethanes in addition to other toxic pollutants. Some of the chemicals from the THM family are the highly carcinogenic in even very small amounts chloroform, dichloroboromethane and bromoform.

Scared yet? There is a solution to all that for almost all of the carbon water filters on the market will get rid of most of the chlorine in your tap water. However, there are other harmful elements in there.
