The scare prompted a visit from the FBI hazardous materials team who found the students suffering from headaches, nausea, and dizziness.  This isn’t the first time people have gotten sick from bottled water, there are dozens of cases reported every year.  The water the children drank appeared a little cloudy and tasted odd.  Luckily for these students, they only had to be briefly hospitalized and were later released.

The most shocking part of this story is that this was a very “reputable” bottled water manufacturer.  If one of the most popular bottled water distributors can have contaminated water, this means that the less reputable manufacturers are even more likely to have contaminants in their product.  This story only reinforces the fact that bottled water is not a safe source of water and that a simple 10 stage water filter will give you safe drinking water every time for a fraction of the price.

Then why do consumers continue to purchase a product with little benefits and a whole lot of environmentally destructive baggage?  Bottled water is purely a gluttonous luxury.  People drink bottled water out of the pure convenience that they do not have to carry around a bottle or to simply avoid using a public water fountain.  I find it embarrassing that the US consumes 8 billion bottles of water a year, leaving 8 billion plastic, non-renewable bottles to be disposed.  If you are reading this and continue to purchase bottled water, it is time to stop and ask yourself why it is necessary to spend 10,000 times the normal price for water only to hurt the environment simply for your convenience.

Drinking pure water is the first step in any healthy diet, especially for a child’s proper nutrition while their bodies are developing.  According do the EPA, drinking water that contains lead causes approximately 480,000 learning disorders in children every year in the United States!  Pregnant women must also drink lead free water to prevent serious birth defects.  It is absolutely essential to have the cleanest source of water because there are more than 2100 contaminants possible present in municipal tap water, including poisons.  Some types of cancer can be associated with these toxins found in tap water.  Because water may come from a bottle at a store does not mean that the water is clean and municipal treatment plants cannot always control dangerous forms of bacteria.  Due to this, the only way to absolutely assure that your drinking water is clean is to have a 10 stage filter at your family’s water tap.

New Wave Enviro offers bottled water nozzles filters that filter any water source right before it reaches your mouth!  The filter is small enough to fit in your pocket and can travel with you wherever you go.  The filter fits on any standard sized plastic water bottle and filters out the water with a gentle squeeze.  Each filter lasts 90 refills saving you money and reducing the risk of being sick on your vacation.

The solution to removing chlorine from bath water is the Splish Splash Bathtub Filter from New Wave Enviro.  Not only will the filter remove the harmful chlorine from water in just minutes, it will give you softer skin and hair.  De-chlorinated water improves lathering and sudsing, maximizing the effectiveness of your favorite bath products.  Splish Splash is also non-toxic and safe for humans and pets and lasts about 200 baths.

New technology has been developed to make water purification safer and less expensive.  Nanostructured carbon nanotubes with hollow carbon fibers less than a billionth the width of a single human hair will be able to effectively filter water.  The properties of these nanotubes will only allow very small molecules to pass through, stopping viruses, bacteria, toxic metal ions, and large noxious organic materials.

Along with being safe, this technology is also very efficient.  The tubes allow a high flow rate of water through the filter without stopping up the water pressure.  The power required to operate these systems is also much more efficient than any other current water filtration system, requiring less power.  This technology could be coming to household around the world in the near future to deliver safe and affordable drinking water.

 This happens because almost always when chlorine attaches itself to organic material, it increases the toxicity of the original organic compound.  Methane is harmless alone, but when a chlorine is attached, it forms a trihalomethane with is a toxic compound.

These organochlorines are naturally produces in small amounts in the environment, but the levels have risen significantly due to the chlorination process in purifying municipal water.  Humans are being exposed to higher and higher levels of these toxic compounds because it is pumped directly into our homes and offices.  With the simple addition of a KDF Media water filter, you can protect yourself and your family for up to 6 years from water chlorination and other harmful compounds in your drinking water.

A recent study of 19 US cities has shown that public water supplies pose a risk to the citizens due to the poor conditions of the water infrastructure.  Much of the piping and water treatment facilities are using century old technology.  These old pipes leak and become contaminated with pollutants and bacteria and the old ages filtration systems often fail to remove pesticides, arsenic and other pollutants.  The amount of untreated sewage that enters the environment every year is enough to fill up the Empire State Building and the Madison Square Garden.

Along with these pollutants, a recent study has found that 41 million Americans are exposed to prescription drugs in our drinking water.  The levels of these prescription drugs is far below the prescribed dosages, but the long term effects of these drugs is still unknown.  Studies have found that this long term, low level exposure to prescription drugs has alarming effects on human cells and wildlife.  By using a New Wave Enviro filter, you can filter these contaminants out of your drinking water while saving money at the same time.
