Today I’m going to start a
series of blogs to help you understand the different options for water
treatment.Before I get into the issues of treatment however, you need to know
some core pieces of knowledge…
First, it’s important to understand that basically water is water. The only real difference
between pure, distilled water, highly contaminated ocean water, tap water and
sewage water are the contaminants in the water. The water is the same. The pure
rain water that pours down and is the source of all fresh water started as very
salty ocean water. The water that you drink has been in countless forms before
it enters your body. It’s been rain water and ocean water and it’s been
consumed by numerous life forms before you. What it was doesn’t matter though. What matters is how
pure it is now.
Second, while the first point is very simple and
straightforward, water contamination is anything but. There are countless
different contaminants that can be carried in liquid water, and these different
contaminants occur in different combinations everywhere you go. Even the same
source of water can change in composition from season to season or even from
moment to moment. The result, water quality is different everywhere you go.
Third, you DON’T know what is in your water, nor does the government. Even if you pay $1,000 for an
expensive water test, it is just a snapshot of certain chemicals for a certain
period of time.
Fourth, many contaminants that are regularly found in tap
water have been linked to cancer and other very serious illnesses. Many more
contaminants have unknown affects on your health, and no one knows how the
numerous combinations of toxins that you may get exposed to could affect your
health.By purifying your water you are protecting yourself from these
toxins.
Fifth, there are a great many forces that have their own agenda and try to shape your
understanding of water, often not for your benefit. Environmental groups will
do anything to get you to stop buying bottled water, even lying (tap water is
NOT as good as bottled water). The government wants you to think that the water
is safe, even when it’s not (the illusion of safety is good enough for most
people and it’s much easier for the government). Many companies want your money
and will do anything to get it (alkaline water, clustered water, energized
water…). You are responsible for protecting your family, thinking critically
and keeping your priorities straight (purity should be your number 1 priority).
Sixth, every water treatment device has strengths and
weaknesses. There is no perfect water treatment technology. But if you have
your priorities straight and you have a solid grasp of the different
technologies you can come up with an excellent strategy that provides
the highest level of protection.
Seventh, you can’t live in a bubble. In today’s world there
is simply no possible way to avoid all chemicals. You will be exposed, as will
your family. But you can reduce your exposure to toxins, and one of the easiest ways
to do that is to ensure that you are drinking only pure water.
