Smart Choice Water Filter
"Do You Know What's Lurking In your Drinking Water?"
Now You Can Easily Transform Your Drinking Water into the Cleanest, Healthiest, and Most Refreshing Water Imaginable...
If
you have studied health for any length of time likely appreciate that
drinking pure water is an essential element of staying healthy.
Unfortunately
most people believe they can obtain their water requirements from
sodas, coffee, highly processed fruit juices, and superficially healthy
options like Gatorade.
While drinking these
fluids will clearly keep you alive, there is a huge gap in what they
will do to your or your family's health.
Pure Water is Your BEST Choice!
I have been helping people improve their health for over thirty years and have treated tens of thousands of patients.
It
is my strong opinion that for the bulk of the population, replacing
these junk fluids with pure water is simply one of the most powerful
lifestyle changes one can make to start improving their health.
Drinking
pure water regularly is so important that I put it at the TOP of my
recommended choices to make to get healthy. Fortunately many people are
realizing this and they are choosing water over junk fluids. However
many are using tap water which is loaded with chlorine, fluoride, drugs
flushed down the toilet, arsenic, and even rocket fuel.
The Bottled Water Myth
Drinking bottled water is a major improvement over junk fluids and tap water.
However,
in these challenging economic times, it makes more sense to find a more
cost effective and environmentally sustainable option than bottled
water.
Here's why...
-
Up to 40% of bottled water is actually just bottled tap water that may or may not receive additional treatment and filtering.
-
Bottled water can contain chlorine and fluoride -- chemicals I feel are unhealthy and should not be in your drinking water.
-
A
4-year study released by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)
found 1/3 of the water bottles tested contained synthetic organic
chemicals and bacteria.
-
The
typical plastic used for bottled water is polyethylene terephthalate
(PET) -- this material potentially leaches antimony and other toxic
chemicals into your water.
-
Landfills polluted with discarded plastic bottles further contribute to the deterioration of your environment.
-
Buying bottled water is expensive -- it's estimated a $1.50 bottle of
water costs just $0.22, leaving $1.28 per bottle in profits.
-
There's
a huge strain placed on your environment to produce and distribute
bottled water around the world -- an estimated 50 billion plastic
bottles are produced each year.
Regulation of bottled water is another concern I have.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates public water supplies, but has no authority over bottled water.
For
example, there are not any specific requirements regarding proximity of
bottled water sources to industrial facilities or waste dumps. And
there's no official procedure in place for shutting down bottled water
sources if they become contaminated.
Now you know
the reasons why I don't recommend bottled water -- there are just too
many potential risks and unknown consequences to your health.
If
you're concerned about how to carry your water with you, there are safe
alternatives to the typical PET plastic bottles and potentially risky
water inside. You clearly want to avoid PVC plastic containers. These
are typically milky white and the type that most milk used to come in
years ago. They leave a clear and obvious odor to the water because
they leach loads of toxic plasticizers in the water.
You can use safe plastics which aren't known to leach harmful substances:
-
Polypropylene, designated "#5 PP"
-
High-density polyethylene, designated "#2 HDPE"
- Low-density polyethylene, designated "#4 LDPE"
So, what source of clean, refreshing water remains? What about tap water flowing freely from your kitchen faucet?
How Water Straight from Your Tap Can be Harmful
to Your Health
From your kitchen faucet, you could be filling your glass with the potential hazards of chlorine,
fluoride, bacteria, pesticides, disinfection byproducts (DBPs),
arsenic, rocket fuel, discarded potent pharmaceutical drugs and much
more...
Tap water can be full of all types of hidden contaminants you can't see with the naked eye.
These
contaminants not only can affect the taste and odor of home tap water,
but they can potentially interrupt the balance of your body's natural
functions.
Even if your water looks and tastes fine, bear in mind many contaminants are tasteless, odorless, and colorless.
Some
contaminants can be so harmful they're measured in "parts per million"
or "parts per billion". Only one drop of one of these harmful toxins in
a gallon of water can be extremely harmful to your wellbeing.
Disinfection
byproducts are one of the most toxic elements in the water supply and
we didn't even know about them until relatively recently. What
concerns me more though is that there are likely other even more
harmful elements in tap water that today's technology can simply not
inform us of.
Why Adding Fluoride to Your Water is Ineffective and Potentially Unhealthy
One
of my top issues with tap water and MANY bottled waters is fluoride.
Please remember that nearly half of bottled water is filtered tap water
and most municipal water supplies are contaminated with fluoride.
Additionally some water companies actually add fluoride to their
bottled water.
If you are still confused about
fluoride and believe it is healthy I would strongly encourage you to
review the evidence. There is plenty on this site but a quick Google
search will be very enlightening.
The very brief
summary is that in an attempt to reduce cavities, many countries began
adding fluoride their municipal drinking water supplies.
They
did this because they were convinced that most "experts" were in favor
of water fluoridation. However, like many areas related to health, this
issue was manipulated by special interest groups to conveniently
dispose of industrial byproduct poisons. It didn't take long for some
countries to put the pieces together, which is why Sweden, Norway,
Denmark, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Austria, France, and the Netherlands
ban fluoride from their drinking water.
Here are just some of the concerns with fluoride...
-
Accumulates in your bones, causing them to be brittle and easily fractured
-
Inactivates some of your enzyme systems
-
Disrupts your immune system, causing it to attack normal working tissues in your body
-
Accelerates your aging process
-
Causes cellular and genetic damage
-
Damages your tooth enamel by hardening the outer surface
Highly Toxic Chlorine Byproducts Found in Most Tap Water
Chlorine
is a chemical used in municipal water supplies. It was first introduced
into U.S. water supplies in 1908. Chlorine has been enormously
effective at reducing water borne illnesses such as cholera, typhoid,
dysentery, and hepatitis.
What may surprise you is that although chlorine can kill these bacteria its is relatively non-toxic to you and your family.
However
most all water supplies have dissolved organic matter in the water that
is a result of leaves and twigs that floats into the water. This is
where the problem starts as chlorine interacts with these organic
materials to produce disinfection byproducts more commonly referred to
as DBPs.
The two primary DBP categories called trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAA5s).
These DBPs have been linked to potential...
-
Damaging effects to your cardiovascular system
-
Harmful impacts to your respiratory system
-
Unhealthy functioning of your renal system
-
Disruptions to your central nervous system
-
Weakening of your immune system
These
DBPs may be up to 10,000 -100,000 times more toxic than the chlorine in
your water. Most experts actually believe chlorine causes virtually
none of the damage in tap water. Instead, it's predominantly due to
these DBPs.
You'll also find other
hidden toxins in your tap water like arsenic, cadmium, aluminum,
mercury, perchlorate (primary ingredient in rocket propellant), various
pharmaceutical products, and polonium-210 (radioactive element that
decays into lead).
And what about that lead?
While
most homes today have PVC pipes, even modern faucets have
lead-containing joints that potentially contribute to lead in your
drinking water.
So, the bottom line here is
your tap water coming straight from its source can contain chemicals
and byproducts harmful to your health.
And if you have a well, you should know that...
Your Well Water Isn't Completely Immune
from Hazardous Contaminants and Toxins
If you are fortunate enough to draw water from an untreated private well, you avoid most of the problems with tap water.
However,
ground water pollutants can also seep into this water source. And
because private wells are shallower than water receptacles used for
public water supplies, there can be a greater potential for
contamination and toxic pollutants -- especially from pesticides and
herbicides sprayed on lawns and farmlands.
Fecal coliform bacteria like E. coli are the most common contaminants potentially found in well water.
Septic
fields are typical sources for such contamination by way of animal or
human wastes. Nitrates from animal or human wastes or fertilizers are
also commonly found -- along with lead, radon and other chemical and
biological toxins.
So, if you have a well, you're not out of the woods from potential drinking water contaminants.
The
good news for you is there are ways to remove and filter out
contaminants right from your faucet. So, it doesn't matter whether you
have a municipal source of water or a well.
Your Personal Checklist to Get the Clean
and Refreshing Drinking Water YOU DESERVE!
So, what can you do to ensure healthy drinking water for you and your family?
Well
it seems very clear from just about every angle your best option would
be to filter your water at home with a high quality filter.
After
carefully studying this issue for well over a year it is very clear to
me that the most cost effective and practical solution for nearly every
family is to use a high quality water filter in your home. But there
are a number of crucial issues about filters in order to select the
best filter AND to use it to remove the maximum amount of DBPs to
protect you and your family.
One of the key
components in a home filter system is that it should remove fluoride
for the reasons discussed above. Unfortunately most all carbon based
filters do not remove fluoride.
Here are my other recommendations that should be on your checklist:
-
Filter out fluoride and chlorine -- Absolutely no exceptions on these!
-
Remove inorganic contaminants like lead, aluminum, mercury, iron, sulfur, and lime scale
-
Remove
organic contaminants like herbicides, pesticides, THMs (disinfection
byproducts), and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that may effect the
quality, odor, and taste of your drinking water
-
Create a bacteriostatic environment -- Must remove bacteria from the water
-
Be environmentally smart and help conserve water and energy
-
Deliver
a low cost/gallon filter ratio (inexpensive) and be very easy to
install -- No drilling, cutting, or need to call your plumber to get up
and running.
WARNING #1 -- Most Carbon Filters Contaminated With Aluminum
Most
people do not understand that there is an enormous difference in the
quality of the carbon or charcoal that is used in filters. Most carbon
filters are actually heavily contaminated with aluminum and are
leaching aluminum into the water you filter.
Fortunately if you know a few facts you can easily choose a filter that is not contaminated.
It
turns out the best charcoal media to use is from coconut shells. It is
the highest quality and the one with the least amount of aluminum.
The
second key is to make sure that the charcoal is acid washed as this
will remove most of the aluminum in the charcoal. Ideally your filter
should be acid washed and be made from coconut shells but make sure it
has at least one of them to avoid the aluminum issue.
WARNING #2 -- Filter Your Water SLOWLY to Reduce DBPs
Hopefully you are fully aware of the danger of disinfection byproducts
(DBPs). As I said above, chlorine is relatively non-toxic to you and
your family but the DBPs are 10-100,000 times more toxic.
Most
carbon filters do NOT do a good job of filtering these dangerous DBPs
from the water UNLESS you filter very slowly. You see, unlike chlorine,
the filter's ability to remove DBPs from the water is directly related
to the rate at which the water has time to contact the media. The
longer the exposure, the more you will remove.
If
you run the water full force through your filter you will simply let
these dangerous DBPs pass right through the filter into your drinking
water.
So the trick is to turn the faucet on as
slow as you can tolerate. I would strongly recommend below one gallon
per minute. But the lower the better. Trickling the water in as slowly
as possible is simply your best choice for using a carbon filter.
Failure to do this will nullify the vast majority of the benefits of the filter.
Three Options: Good, Better, and Best
After
carefully researching this topic for over ten years I have reached the
conclusion that there are three primary ways to filter high quality
water for your home. I am going to exclude any technologies that
actually restructure the water or adjust pH as that is a topic for an
entirely different discussion.
Pros:
- Removes chlorine, inorganic, and organic contaminants
- Generally easy to install yourself without the need for a plumber
- Wide range of prices from under $40 to over $400
Cons:
- Ineffective in removing fluoride
- Most carbon filters contain aluminum
- Can be a breeding ground for bacteria and affect water taste
- Short to limited life on filter cartridges
Pros:
- Superior to standard carbon filter as RO actually integrates carbon filter as part of its total filtration system
- Most systems remove chlorine, inorganic, and organic contaminants.
- Effective in removing fluoride and DBPs
Cons:
- Requires
costly and extensive installation -- drilling into your sink area,
cutting into pipes, and hiring a plumber to get you up and running.
Most people require a plumber to install.
- Often needs up to 3-5 gallons of water to produce a single clean gallon -- very inefficient
- Makes
water acidic -- You can add a high quality salt like Himalyan sea salt
to compensate for this. The dose is about 14 teaspoon per gallon.
- Can be breeding ground for bacteria -- storage tank issue
- Tend
to destructure the water. Can restructure the water by placing in a
glass container in the sunshine or with the proper use of magnets.
Pros:
- Combines with carbon system for extended life
- Efficiently removes fluoride, chlorine, inorganic and organic contaminants
- Maximizes DBP removal when filtration rate slowed to 1-2 gallons/minute
- Creates bacteriostatic environment to prevent bacteria from thriving in the overall system
- Installs easily in minutes to your sink faucet -- no plumber needed
- Delivers the lowest cost over the long term and the best value for you and your family in challenging economic times.
Cons:
- Initial cost typically higher than standard carbon system
- Needs separate fluoride filtration cartridge
There
are many good water filtration systems in the marketplace. But many
only satisfy certain portions of the selection checklist.
I
have been studying this topic for over ten years and have finally
reached my conclusions and would like to share them with you.
My team and I uncovered an easy-to-install copper-zinc system I believe is your best choice.
How a Copper-Zinc Filtration System Works
The
next point to consider for a water filter is the combination of copper
and zinc filtration media (patented under the trade name KDF®) in your
drinking water filtration system...
-
Makes your carbon filter last longer. It
actually catalyzed the chlorine in the water to non toxic chloride so
it passes right through the carbon filter without clogging it up and
making it last much longer.
-
In combination with a carbon system, KDF provides a bacteriostatic environment to extend the life of carbon filters
-
Improves the water's taste.
Because it is bacteriostatic, it removes the bacteria from your water
and prevents the filter from being contaminated. It also removes
hydrogen sulfide -- the typical rotten egg odor and bad taste
especially if you have well water.
Use These Criteria to Choose the
BEST Water Filter for Your Family
I
sincerely hope you find the above guidelines useful in not only
selecting the right filter for you and your family but also in using
the filter you have or will purchase now in the future the right way.
If
you haven't read my two warnings above please do so as they are
important to make sure you aren't being unknowingly poisoned by your
water filter.
This is a subject I have been
studying over ten years as just like you I need a healthy source of
water for myself, family and employees. So if you are unable to find a
filter that meets the criteria that I described above, I have been
working with a company for over two years to produce one for my
personal use.
But I am also going to make it available commercially.
Why I Use and Recommend the KDF Water Filtration System
This
system meets ALL of the criteria I have outlined or warned you about
above. Here are just some of the additional highlights of the system...
-
Comes with a separate fluoride filtration housing dedicated to fluoride removal
-
Contains
dual media cartridge -- KDF cartridge filters heavy metals and helps
control water hardness. The coconut shell carbon cartridge helps filter
VOCs and polish the taste.
-
Produces clean, safe drinking water from food grade components
-
Delivers natural and non-toxic medias (both KDF and coconut shell carbon)
-
Provides
high quality and least contaminant source of carbon from coconut shell
-- acid washed and aluminum free (unlike most other carbon filters)
-
Installs quickly in minutes by hooking up to your kitchen sink faucet. You don't need expensive plumbers for installation.
- Offers you a good investment that's inexpensive over time

With the Pure & Clear Countertop Water Filtration System
not only do you get a system that removes chlorine and fluoride, but
your use costs ($0.02 to $0.08 per gallon of water) are some of the
lowest I've seen... even with the addition of the fluoride filter.
The reason for the "cost/gallon" range is due to the use of the dual cartridge system -- fluoride and KDF.
Buying a long-life KDF filter system is a good investment in healthy drinking water.
In
addition, your contribution to the environment is quite significant.
You could help remove approximately 64,000 16 oz bottles of water from
manufacture, shipping, and disposal; a huge environmental impact.
If we could just get everyone to do this, think of the savings impact on the environment from the reduction in bottled water.
