It may seem to most Americans that the safety of drinking water is not a major concern for them but the fact is that, municipal and rural water supply sources are usually contaminated with chemicals, minerals, and metals that are hazardous to your health. Thus it’s good to give a second thought to the safety and cleanliness of the water that comes out of your kitchen faucet and enter your body through various means. For this purpose, test the safety of the water you drink. If you are living in an urban area, check the Consumer Confidence Report printed by Municipal Water District Plant which shows the amount of chemicals, bacterial contaminants, heavy metals, and other pollutants that exist in your municipal water supply.
However if you live in a rural area, you need not only to check the CCR provided by these authorities, but have to go an extra mile and get your water checked for these contaminations at least annually. If the results turn out to be negative indicating chemicals and waste in your drinking water, you have several water purification options to choose from:
- Carbon filters: These filters are available in both granule and solid forms and are best to remove odor and fowl taste from water as well as fuel products and pesticides.
- Reverse osmosis; Water filers that use this process for purifying water make water pass through a semi permeable membrane under high pressure. The pores in the membrane are so fine that they do not let anything else than water to pass through it thus purifying it.
- Water softening systems: Minerals like calcium and magnesium make the water hard but can be removed using various water softening systems. This makes water pleasant for bathing and washing purposes as well as does not let minerals to deposit in pipes.
Ensuring safety of drinking water is the first and foremost concern. If you have slightest of the doubt about the safety of your drinking water, contact a professional.
