If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.
Loren Eiseley, “Four Quartets”, The Immense Journey

All known forms of life depend on water. It is a vital component of all nature creatures. As for humans, our bodies are composed predominantly of water (brain is 95% water; blood is 82% water; and the lungs are nearly 90% water). Of the four main nutrients of the body water is the most critical to the balance of all the body’s systems, including the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys and muscles. A mere 2% drop in our body’s water supply can trigger signs of dehydration: tiredness, headaches, and the lack of concentration. Mild dehydration is also one of the most common causes of daytime fatigue. Water is vitally important to the mechanics of the human body. In fact, all the cell and organ functions depend on water for their functioning.

In addition to the daily maintenance of our bodies (regulating metabolism and body temperature, eliminating waste from our bodies), water also plays a key role in the prevention of disease. Drinking water can also aid in the prevention and cure of many types of diseases, ailments and disorders that affect the many systems of our bodies.

Unfortunately such essential component of our life as clean drinking water is getting more and more difficult to obtain. Unsafe water ceases to be just a third world problem. In fact, safe drinking water is even harder to find specially in industrially developed countries.

According to research articles and news, most tap water is not safe for drinking due to its contamination with radionuclides, lead, microorganisms, disinfection by products, inorganic and organic chemicals etc. Although the concentration of contaminants is often too low to cause immediate discomforts or sicknesses, it is proven that even low-level exposure to them will, over time, lead to severe diseases including liver damage, cancer, and other serious ailments. Unfiltered tapped water also contains such toxic substances as chlorine and fluoride which are known to have significant adverse effects on the human body.
Convinced that you have a need to filter water?

Of course, the most efficient way to feel safe about the water which you and your family drink is to buy a good water filtration system. There are numerous types of water filtration systems on the market, so first of all you will have to determine your needs and then purchase the type of filter which will respond to them. If you want to shower in pure water – then you need a shower water filter, if it is essential for you that your family consumes clean water and cooks safe food – you need a kitchen water filter. But we strongly recommend that you should have both of them. Of course, you may choose to install a whole house filter, but this option has some disadvantages, as the installation needs to be done by a professional plumber. As such filter uses pipes to transfer the water to the taps, it can also gather some contaminants.

Types of water filters’ technologies are numerous and vary from reverse osmosis, distillation, carbon block filters, to ceramic filters and multi-step systems. Carbon absorption remains one of the most widely used water filtration systems as carbon filters are easy to install, relatively inexpensive, and cover the basic functions of filtration. Unfortunately, such filters fail to remove heavy metals, have a limited life span and tend to clog with sediment long before filter is exhausted.
Reverse osmosis and distillation remove chlorine, lead, taste and odour, and chemicals thus delivering high quality drinking and cooking water. At the same time these systems remove healthful minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, which leaves flat tasting water. Ceramic water purifiers require much time to process water and don’t remove fluoride, some heavy metals, viruses and very small microbes. That’s why, a multi-step system is what we believe to be the most thorough and cost effective way to purify drinking water.
