If technology could monitor water in real time, we’d know immediately about all the gunk that is in the water coming out of our taps.

Just the thought of what happens to be present in our water supply is pretty scary – chemicals so toxic that they build up over time and do us a lot of harm. Think anything from cancer to contracting diseases. Unfortunately, there are still a great many people who aren’t aware that their taps deliver contaminated water. The “only” thing that will combat contaminated water most effectively is water distillation systems.
Recently, the news carried grim warnings about a chemical called atrazine being found in the water in Illinois, Maryland, Florida, Ohio and Texas. Atrazine is a weed killer and its presence in drinking water is causing a lot of concern about people’s health. It’s been banned in the European Union because they feel it is contaminating their water.

Here is the other problem being dealt with in Illinois (and in other states) – atrazine isn’t something that is even tested for in water supplies on a regular basis. It’s a frightening fact that many local water districts only test their water annually, which raises the question about what people are drinking in between testing periods.

People with water distillation systems don’t need to worry about toxic chemicals in their water. Frankly, water distillers have been overlooked in favor of filtration systems with charcoal that just do not work effectively. The only effective way to get fresh water is to use water distillation systems.

While the weed killer manufacturer claims their product is effective and safe and does not pose a problem for drinking water supplies, they don’t let on that EPA standards set an annual average. This means that daily averages have the potential (and often do) to go beyond not only acceptable limits, but beyond safe limits. Although the real question is perhaps people wanting to know how could “any” level of weed killer in the water be “safe?” On the other side of the coin is that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention feel atrazine is deadly and causes liver, heart and kidney damage in animals.

Perhaps there are some questions about how it affects humans, but there is no question that atrazine (which is highly soluble) is washed from sprayed fields and finds its way into streams, rivers and wells, eventually making its way into our water supply and into our drinking glasses.

While agriculture is a valuable industry, the management of waste and chemicals is causing serious problems in our nation’s water supplies.

Large farms that process animals for human consumption or who provide a commodity (like milk) from hundreds of cows, have no real way to adequately handle the huge amounts of waste produced by their animals. Most often it winds up in manure cesspools and is sprayed onto the land. This is a prime example of water pollution in action.

The runoff contaminates not only the groundwater, but any other bodies of water nearby such as streams and rivers. Eventually, all the contaminants wind up in our water supply. This is not a pretty picture – visions of cattle or pig waste floating in our cup of coffee. Just because we don’t “see” it does not mean it isn’t there. The only way to make sure we are drinking fresh and safe water is to invest in water distillers or have water distillation systems installed in our homes.

It isn’t just waste products that wind up in groundwater either, it’s the “other” things fed to the animals to make them grow faster and drive down production costs, like antibiotics. Antibiotics aren’t fed full strength to the cattle. They are fed at a lower dose than would actually be needed to treat an infection. This is sprinkled into their water and feed to prevent an outbreak of disease due to the conditions prevalent on large farms. For a really startling statistic, get this: over 70 percent of all the antibiotics used in the U.S. are fed to livestock.

If you do some quick math, that amounts to roughly 25 million pounds of drugs used annually to keep livestock healthy in questionable conditions. That is almost more than eight times the amount of drugs used for human diseases. All of the antibiotics fed to cattle, etc. has to go somewhere when it is eliminated from their bodies, and it does, onto the ground and gets washed into groundwater, etc.

The biggest problem inherent here is that when bacteria are continually exposed to low levels of antibiotics, it becomes resistant. Witness virtually all strains of Staph that are now penicillin resistant and won’t respond to newer drugs because the strains have mutated. Do you want that to wind up in your drinking water? Likely not and this is one of the major reasons to install water distillation systems in your home. For your peace of mind and security, water distillation systems will provide you with a safe source of fresh water.

Lead contamination in water is more prevalent than anyone may think, whether a house is new or not.
While everyone knows that drinking lots of water is something good to do for their health, these days people have to second guess if their water is safe or not. Imagine that, turning on the tap and drinking lead contaminated water. It’s not just the lead that is a problem either. Water on tap these days has so many pollutants in it that the list is almost as long as the manifest for the Titanic.

The sad truth is that even if the tap water is coming from a brand new house, lead may still be in the water, carried there by other sources not under the home (pipes and joints) but from the aging infrastructure that carries water through a city. No one would know this though because lead can’t be seen or tasted, but is dangerous nonetheless. If the homeowner happens to believe in water distillers and has water distillation systems, they are one up in the quest to drink safe and fresh water.

If there was a way to rip the top off the roads in a neighborhood, the true story of leaded pipes carrying water would be revealed. Many city water lines are lead piping with lead solder and the older those lines get, the more they disintegrate and more lead leeches into the water.

Of course this water then ends up in older homes with lead piping and in newer homes with plastic piping. Unfortunately, being in a new home is no guarantee of lead free water. The dilemma is that people never really think about the water unless they are aware of the problem and know about water distillers and water distillation systems.

If there is any question about water on tap in the house, it’s best to have it tested for contaminants. Use the water taken directly from the tap in the home, as taking it from the source won’t give an accurate reading of what is really in the water by the time it reaches homes and is ready for use. When in doubt, rely only on the safest way to get fresh water by investing in water distillation systems.

There is no question that everyone in the U.S. has water on the brain, or to be more precise, their brain is more than 75 percent water.

Water is crucial for living, a fact that hits home if we have the misfortune to lose even just five percent of our body fluids. This loss creates a 25 to 30 percent energy drop in the average adult. If a body loses up to 15 percent of its fluid levels, this is often enough to cause death. The importance of drinking water cannot be overstated.

It’s a proven fact that if people want to avoid health issues such as asthma, arthritis, headaches, blood sugar problems and hypertension, they need to be well hydrated. Being plumped up with the proper amount of water makes the brain function in the optimal zone, ready and willing to deal with any problems thrown at it. Studies have actually shown that the longer the body is dehydrated brain cells start to shrink and not function properly, lowering the energy level in the brain.

Water has more benefits than just keeping people sharp and alert mentally. It also is a carrier for toxins and wastes as they are flushed out of our body. Always drinking enough water lets the body purify itself and in the process promote good health.

With benefits like that going for it, water should be the drink of choice, but it must be safe and fresh. Tap water won’t cut it, only distilled water from water distillation systems is the very purest water for freshness and safety. The water on tap in most American homes has so many contaminants in it, that if people knew what they were really drinking, they would be horrified. The only way to get the safest, purest and freshest water is to have in-home water distillation systems and/or water distillers.

It’s obvious that drinking water is crucial. A body’s health depends on it. To ensure a healthy body, invest in water distillers and water distillation systems – “the” answer to today’s dilemma of drinking only fresh, pure and safe water, just like Mother Nature intended it to be.

What role does gray water play in today’s efforts to manage our dwindling water resources?

So much of the water used at home is left to flow into the drain when it could be used for other things like watering the garden or the lawn, or maybe even washing your car. This “gray water” runoff is usually what’s left over after you have a bath, wash the dishes and wash clothes. Whether you know it or not, that kind of “secondary” water use in the home generates 40 gallons of water a day for each person in the house. Just imagine how much more economical a homeowner would be is they re-used the gray water. Translation: lower water bills.

The interesting thing is that if homeowners did choose to recycle their gray water, they could cut water use by at least 25 percent, and that’s not so shabby. For states that are struggling to maintain and responsibly manage their water supplies, this would be a major boon. It’s been estimated that 36 states will be facing water shortages by 2013.

They might even be able to keep up with the demand if people recycled gray water. Arizona and New Mexico go for this practice in a big way, as do a few other states. However, some states find the requirements to be way too complex to be able to implement.

Oregon’s most recent innovative attempt to expand the definition of gray water shows they are on the right track to utilize this water and make a significant difference to their state water resources. Their definition rules out using water contaminated by toxins or human waste, so they’d be nixing toilets and washing machines where the homeowner washes cloth diapers. Obviously, gray water isn’t intended for drinking, but it does have a place in the greater scheme of the world of recycling as it is still safe and useable water for other things.

While using gray water is relatively safe for some things, this raises the question about tap water in American homes. Is it safe to drink? The answer to that question is, “No.” There are so many contaminants in the water no one would be able to name them all. They range from herbicides and pesticides to legal prescription drugs and illegal street drugs, not to mention chemicals we dump in the water to make it “safe.” Dumping Chloramines and/or straight chlorine into the water to kill the bad gunk just means the “other bad gunk” being killed is replaced by chlorine, which is just as bad. This is the point when you need to consider water distillers and water distillation systems for the home.

Just lately scientists have figured out what long-term exposure to chlorine means and it isn’t encouraging. Chlorine is touted as a “necessary” thing to keep our water drinkable. The real truth is that chlorine and chlorine by-products cause cell damage in our bodies as well as heart problems.

The only way to ensure you have fresh, clean and the purest possible drinking water in your home is to invest in water distillers and your own home water distillation systems.

Most, if not all, of the water we drink is contaminated in some form or another. It’s a “for sure” that the government knows and a certainty that we need water distillers in our homes to combat contamination.
Consider the various legal battles raging all across the nation dealing with contaminated water and you will get a very clear picture of the likely condition of the water in your taps. If you aren’t using water distillation systems in your home, then think twice about drinking the water.

The most recent debacle concerns E. coli in Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks. An investigation is being conducted that a government agency broke state laws by not releasing data that E. coli was above safe levels in the lake – a revelation that would make most people bolt to the Internet and purchase water purification systems for the home and cottage.

The Missouri Attorney General is investigating a complaint that a state agency violated state law by refusing to release data that showed E. coli was above safe levels in the Lake of the Ozarks. That gives one pause for thought about how that would affect tourists, not to mention the local citizenry. Evidently the Department of Natural Resources turned down multiple requests under that state’s Sunshine Act to release the relevant data. Water distillers would be in big demand with the community facing that kind of a problem.

The Department’s director is walking a rather fine line these days indicating that his department should have immediately released the report detailing the levels of E. coli in the lake. This in light of the fact that the department had apparently kept the report hush-hush for about a month because they didn’t want to affect tourism or cause public panic. The concern and panic happened anyway when people found out. The situation was merely compounded by the Department of Natural Resources hiding the facts. The lost time for people to purchase water distillers for their home and at the lake was crucial.

If the government in various states is withholding information of this nature because it doesn’t want to lose tourism dollars or cause people to get into a flap, what other information about the water haven’t they told us? Interesting question, don’t you think? The public has every right to know about the water in or from which they wash, bathe, play and drink.

Our health is at risk when we drink contaminated water and when public agencies, who are supposed to safeguard us from things like this, participate in a cover-up like the Missouri one. It’s time to be taking a hard look at the water system you have in your home for your family and finding out all you need to know about water purification systems. Water distillers are the best bet for the freshest, cleanest water like Mother Nature intended it to be.

In yet another episode of “Water Gone Bad,” the small town of Putnam, Connecticut, struggled to keep going while relying on trucked-in water.

No one knew for sure what happened to contaminate the town’s water supply, but they did know they were relying on water rolling into town in large tankers. Town residents spent four long days finding alternative and creative ways to cook, as well as figuring out how to clean the kids following playtime.

Many of those residents didn’t have water distillation systems in place which could have been used to distill the trucked-in water. The cause of this disruption in everyone’s lives was due to the fact the town found E. coli in the municipal water supply.

The precise source of the bacteria wasn’t pinpointed other than to indicate that the water may have been contaminated with either human or animal waste. E. coli causes headaches, cramps, nausea, diarrhea and a whole host of other nasty symptoms.

Those with compromised immune systems, meaning youngsters and senior citizens, faced a very real threat to their health. Luckily, no one in the small town of Putnam, Connecticut, became sick. Those who did have water distillers on hand were able to weather the long shut-off with some degree of aplomb.

In the meantime, over 2,600 people, homes and businesses across town had their tap water shut off. While there may have been just one area of town affected, the administration took no chances and shut all water off. This kind of a situation brings home how critical it is to have water distillers in place to provide a fresh and safe water supply, something that many places in America can’t lay claim to these days.

Even though municipal water filtration plants may be in place to keep the water clean, it’s obvious it doesn’t always work. What’s even more obvious is that if people had water distillation systems in place, they could’ve had clean and fresh water on hand, even by using trucked-in water.

What would happen if a town or city went longer than four days without any water in their homes and places of business? Consider the ramifications and the enormous loss of income to places like restaurants. Certainly if the water was totally turned off at the source, it makes it hard to use an alternative in place of tap water. However, that being said, with water being brought into town, anyone with water distillation systems would have a leg-up in being able to provide fresh water for their home or business.

It’s not a stretch of the imagination to think that a town’s water could be contaminated by a local well. It could happen anywhere, anytime.

The fact of the matter is that a town using a contaminated well has already happened in many places in the United States, with the latest being a small town in Illinois. Many of the town residents don’t even have water distillers or water distillation systems in place either.

The twist to this story was that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) dismissed the Crestwood residents’ concerns, telling them the water wasn’t “that” contaminated because it was diluted with Lake Michigan water. To the unending astonishment of the whole town, the EPA stated the amount of vinyl chloride contaminated well water had been adequately diluted by lake water. This is like being a “little” pregnant.

The town and the EPA were on the same song sheet indicating that the mixture of the two sources of water actually made it harmless. Eleven thousand residents wanted to know about those who had been drinking contaminated water since 1985, and rightfully so, considering the risks of cancer and other illnesses potentially caused by vinyl chloride. To say the town isn’t convinced the risks are minimal is a major understatement. Vinyl chloride in small amounts over a span of many years has the potential to be deadly and telling people otherwise is a foolish move.

Needless to say, the end result of these revelations and the assurances that nothing is wrong hasn’t gone over well with those who live in the town. So far there have been several lawsuits filed accusing the village of making people sick with the contaminated water. Close to 25 years of drinking contaminated water is enough to give anyone nightmares. Evidently the EPA is doing a bad job of trying to point the finger of blame at someone else who no longer works for the department.

With all the flap about the contaminated water and how it may have affected people’s health, questions have arisen about what would make home water safer. It’s bad enough that vinyl chloride was in the water along with other chemicals called volatile organic compounds, but what could residents do to provide safe water for themselves and their families?

Over the years there have been many companies claiming that their method of filtering water is the best, the safest and the only way to get fresh water for drinking. The fallacy with that is most of the systems being touted have major flaws, with the biggest one being that carbon filters themselves may become a contaminate if they are not cleaned and changed on a regular basis. In addition, no filter based water purification system will touch most of the invisible riders in the water. The water may look clear and smell all right, but if a carbon filter water system is being used, chances are the water is “not” all right.
The simple truth is that only water distillers and true water distillation systems will provide the freshest water; the way it was intended to be by Mother Nature.

It’s pretty disheartening to know that our planet’s water supply is only roughly 3% fresh, or useable. What’s worse is that only 1% of what is available is fit for human consumption.

While it may seem there is enough water in the world for everyone to live and let live, this isn’t actually the case. There is actually less than 1% of the 3% of available water that is considered suitable to be tapped for use. The rest is in a form that isn’t useable or even accessible, meaning the rest of the water is frozen or deep in the recesses of the Earth and not able to be reached.

The 1% that is useable isn’t necessarily useable for drinking or bathing, as it is contaminated with a variety of living things we don’t see such as protozoa, bacteria looking for a human host and viruses. None of these wave riders are safe and if the water isn’t treated, the consequences may be disastrous. Therein lies the conundrum, because when it is treated, it is still toxic and not safe to use.

The only way to ensure that homes and businesses in America have safe drinking water is to invest in a water distillation system. To say that treating the water Americans drink is an essential necessity would be a major understatement. To know that diseases such as typhoid and cholera may still be contracted in some parts of America is an eye-opening discovery. The water is not what it appears to be.

There are far too many reports in the media of towns discovering their whole water supply is contaminated with something that makes most of the residents ill. Something needs to be done, and if it isn’t accomplished on the wider scale, then people need to tend to their own home water needs by investing in a water distillation system.

While America may be a leading industrialized nation, they have water problems like third world countries. Be safe at home with the most effective in-home water treatment system that provides the purest, freshest water possible, a water distillation system. No other method of purification is as effective.

The sheer staggering numbers of toxic chemicals in the water people drink is horrendous – 2,100 and counting, and no one knows where it will end.

If there was a dime handed out for every chemical or other toxic waste dumped into the world’s water supply, people would be rich. It’s not just the world’s water supplies that are the concern either. Right here at home in the United States, municipal water supplies are contaminated to one degree or another.

While there may be some modern water filtering technology in a few of the filtration plants, they would be few and far between due to the enormous costs of having a plant that actually does its job and removes crud from the water. The easiest route for most municipalities right now is to use the toxic chemicals chlorine or Chloramine because they’re cheap and easy to find. To say that Americans are drinking safe water would be a major fib.

Looking at a glass of freshly poured water might lead some to believe that it is just fine to drink. It looks clear and doesn’t seem to have any noticeable bad taste. If these two criteria are passed, then it means the water is safe to drink. Clean and clear are two different things, and being clear doesn’t mean it’s necessarily clean and safe.

For Americans to have safe water, they are going to have to take matters into their own hands and do something about having clean, fresh and safe water in their homes. They need to revolt against the contaminated stuff that comes out of the tap. If there is any doubt about the fact that the water people are currently drinking is dangerous in the long-term, listen to Ralph Nader.

Everyone knows who Ralph Nader is and they may also recall his comment when asked about America’s water on tap: “US drinking water has more than 2,100 chemicals in it that may cause cancer.” Definitely not the kind of news people want to hear – that that nation is swallowing a nasty chemical brew every time they have a drink of water.

There is only one way to make a difference at home and ensure there is a clean and safe water supply. The only water purification system that is able to provide the purest, freshest water is distillation; the only process that ensures water is clean and safe to drink. No other water purification method is as effective as distillation.
