After researching the bottled water industry I realized if I want to know my water is safe then I should invest in a reverse osmosis system at my home and buy a stainless steel water container to cart it around (yep did that and the water is fantastic!). For those of us that get caught [...]
“My Water Is Contaminated, Now What?”
So your water test results didn’t come back so good, now what? You have an important choice to make for you and your family. If your results included nitrates, chlorine, chloramines, or bacteria, I strongly encourage immediate action. Your water is an important part of your home. Besides drinking it, you eat it (your dishes), you wear it (your laundry), and you breathe it (those hot steamy showers we all love!)
Money is an important factor when you are looking at fixing the problem, let’s face it we do not all have a couple hundred bucks just sitting around with nothing to do with it. There are different solutions to your problem depending on what you have to invest at this time.
1. Water Filtration System – more costly but most efficient covering the whole house
2. Faucet Filtration Systems – less costly but only covers part of the problem
3. Filtered Shower Heads – inexpensive but only covers part of the problem
4. Bottled Water – not practical but short term fix
These are all solutions, but it comes down to finances and if you need an inexpensive fix, then you do what you can. The point is we need to be Toxic Free, so whatever you choose you will be keeping your family safe.
