why is water filtration important?
Not someone would think of because we assume it’s clean and safe right?
In the holistic health space, one of the number one recommendations to improve your health and reduce your toxic load is getting a water filtration system. People don’t realize that some water contaminants are dangerous. The high amount of toxicity in water can lead to the health problems you may be experiencing. But actually.
Unfortunately the water coming into our homes is not a pure and clean as you think.
Chemicals, bacteria, and heavy metals that enter the local water supply can cause serious illnesses in people of all ages if not filtered out.
Water filters can remove these toxins, including pharmaceuticals, pesticides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), lead, mercury, and disease-carrying pathogens from your water.
We decided on the Berkley Filter with additional fluoride filters.
The first line of defense is that Berkey® purification elements are composed of a proprietary formulation of more than six different media types, all constructed into a very compact matrix containing millions of microscopic pores. These pores are so small that they produce what we refer to as a “Tortuous Path” that pathogenic bacteria, cysts, parasites, herbicides, pesticides, organic solvents, VOCs, detergents, cloudiness, silt, sediment and sedimentary minerals, foul tastes and odors must travel through. These paths are so small that these pollutants physically cannot pass through them and become trapped, eliminating them from your drinking water. This process is known as microfiltration.
