There is a growing concern about the quality of the water we use in our homes. In San Diego, our tap water comes from Northern California and the Colorado River. The water has to travel hundreds of miles before it reaches our local water treatment plants. On it’s way here, our water picks up dirt, agricultural run off which may contain pesticides, animal & human waste and byproducts like bacteria & viruses, minerals and radioactive contaminants. Our water sources are open, and anything can fall into them, that’s why once our water gets here it goes to a water treatment plant.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Department of Public Health have established guidelines to limit the total amount of contaminants found in our drinking water. The government says that our drinking water is safe to drink right from the tap, but 84% of American homes say differently and won’t drink tap water. So what do these households do for clean water? Only 7% of US households use a water filter in their home.

So what are the other 93% using? Expensive and heavy bottled water. Bottle water can only be used for drinking and cooking. What about bathing and washing your clothes?

Your skin is an organ and has the ability to absorb small molecules. That’s why nicotine and birth control patches work. The small amount of contaminates in our tap water, like chlorine, may, over time, be absorbed through the skin. To eliminate these chemicals and reduce the impact they have on our bodies and health, you may want to look at having a whole house water filter installed in your home.

You’ll see an immediate difference in your water from your whole house water filter. Because it’s filtering out the contaminants and chemicals that dry and damage, your hair and skin will be soft and moist. You’ll find yourself using less moisturizer and conditioner, and you’ll save money. Your skin won’t break out due to allergic reactions to the horrible water quality.

Your clothes will be softer, and you’ll use less fabric softener. Due to the fact that you’re not chemically processing your clothes every time you wash them, they may last longer. Your dishes will be chemical free and soap scum will be reduced. Your food will taste better without the added chemicals.
