“Water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink”, says the familiar line from “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”, reminding us that you can be surrounded by water, in this case sea water, as far as the eye can see, yet drinking it has the potential of being harmful.
It goes without saying that water is necessary for life. As gardeners tending our gardens, we know that. As people caring for our bodies, we should also remember this. A large part of what makes up our body is fluid, we need water to keep our body functioning, renewing and cleansing itself…pure water.
Many are concerned about the pollutants in the water supply…my husband and I can relate to this. Our water comes from our own well, and with new homes being built, changes in the water table, new wells being drilled, and even sometimes the affect of days and days of heavy rain, we can’t be 100% sure that our water is completely pure all of the time. For this reason we use Water Filters to purify our drinking water, the type we use is a reverse osmosis, or RO unit. Everpure Water Filters is a good source for many types of water filters and water filtration systems for the home, in fact, I didn’t realize there were so many ways to filter water, and so many applications.
Another thing about water that has been in the news is the possibility of contamination from the plastic bottles that are commonly used when you purchase bottled water. You don’t know how long the water has been in these bottles, taste can be affected, and toxins can leach from the plastics into the water. Food grade bottles, like Klean Kateen Water Bottles are an example of a good alternative.
Even though you must make an initial investment to purchase a system, in the long run, you will be saving, no more shopping for bottled water, and your body will thank you.
