Children are very active, and exert enough energy that they lose one to two quarts of water in one day!  It’s not just the activity that makes kids need water, it’s vital to their healthy growth and development.  Install a New Wave Premium 10 Stage Water Filter on your tap so your kid remembers to choose water over other beverages that aren’t as good for them.  Once children feel and understand the difference water makes in their lives, it will become their favorite form of refreshment!

Starting at infancy, your children need water to grow and thrive.  Doctors often prescribe electrolyte mixes that include necessary vitamins and minerals.  Another highly beneficial tip is to mix your infant’s electrolyte formula with filtered water.

Environment, Health, and Safety Online has one of the most comprehensive reviews of the bottled water industry and the safety standards that govern it, including a comparison of national bottled water rules with national tap water rules, and independent testing of over 1,000 bottles of water. Below are some bottled waters the site confirms to watch out for:

Crystal Geyser Alpine Spring Water
Arsenic in excess of California warning level and World Health Organization and European Union standards

Odwalla Geothermal Natural Spring Water
Fluoride level in excess of California and FDA standard for warm weather areas

Poland Spring
Heterotrophic-plate-count bacteria over 500 cfu/ml guideline in some bottles; 1996 excess chlorine recall

Although bottled waters are covered by the FDA’s rules, they ares subject to less rigorous testing and purity standards than city tap water.  For example, bottled water is required to be tested less frequently than city tap water for bacteria and chemical contaminants.  In addition, bottled water rules allow for some contamination by E. coli or fecal coliform, contrary to tap water rules, which prohibit any confirmed contamination with these bacteria.

Since your local tap water is required to be tested by law, and those results must be publicly available, there is a greater likelihood that you can verify the safety of your tap water, while you cannot verify the compliance of any bottled water.   However, it has been known that tap water is contaminated with such dangerous chemicals as chlorine.  While chlorine disinfects our municipal water, it is highly detrimental to our own health.  If you want the safest, cleanest, best tasting water, it is recommended that you install a good water filter on your tap!  New Wave’s Premium 10 Stage and Fresh Water Works water filters do just the trick!

Researchers from the University of Colorado-Boulder recently performed a study testing the levels of pathogens in our shower water.  Using high-tech lab instruments, these researchers analyzed showerheads in nine cities, including New York, Chicago, and Denver, and found that 30 percent of them harbored high levels of Mycobacterium avium (MAA), a pathogen mostly linked to pulmonary disease.  Furthermore, the study discovered that MAA bacteria and other pathogens can clump together and cling to the inside of showerheads at more than 100 times the levels of municipal water.

Although MAA bacteria mostly affects people with immune deficiencies, it has been known to harm healthy people as well. Water spraying out of these bacteria-laden showerheads can spread pathogen-filled droplets that float in the air and are inhaled by humans into our lungs.  Inhalation is the primary way this harmful bacteria enters our bodies.

Thankfully, New Wave’s Premium Shower Filter helps protect against waterborne pathogens.  Creating a pathogen-free environment is just one of the many benefits of using the Premium Shower Filter.  This filter also removes chlorine,  one of the most dangerous poisons in our water supply.

Be Green and Save Green: The Premium Shower Filter

“Right away (after my first shower with the filter) I noticed that my hair stayed clean longer.  Meaning, the next day my hair didn’t feel oily.  I am thinking this has to be due to the lack of chlorine drying my hair out, so my scalp didn’t need to over compensate by creating extra oil. ”

The Greater Green:  Corn Resin Bottle with the Better Drinking Water Filter

“This product targets three major environmental concerns: the use of petroleum to create plastics, the incredible waste involved in disposable plastic bottles that we use once and throw away, and the chlorine and other toxins in our drinking water. We have here a reusable water bottle made from corn, not petroleum, that comes with its own filter, making it ideal for filling with regular old tap water.”

Ecokaren: Stainless Steel Lunch Box

“I love the idea of a stainless steel food container for carrying lunch. It’s lighter than glass and you don’t have to worry about breakage.”

Silver Savings: 1 Liter Stainless Steel Drinking Water Bottle

“My Stainless steel bottle is a pretty, bright blue and I love it!  I’ve been using the safe plastic bottles for a while now, and they’re definitely feeling neglected since this one arrived.”

Coca Cola’s announcement that its UK version of Dasani brand bottled water came out of the London public supply should hardly have come as a surprise.  Figures from independent beverage research company Canadean show that at least two out of every five bottles of water sold around the world are, like Dasani, fancy tap water, rather than “source” water which comes from a spring.  This metric holds true to the United States as well.

The average American uses 170 plastic water bottles in one year, totaling 50 Billion plastic bottles a year!  So why do so many of us empty our wallets for such low quality water, all while generating all of this litter from plastic bottles?  In terms of conservation and saving money, bottled water is a dry well.

New Wave’s Corn Resin Bottle with the Better Water Drinking Filter offers what one-time use plastic water bottles can’t.  Below are some facts about this awesome, eco-friendly bottle:

-This bottle is made from 100% United States corn and will degrade in just 80 days in a commercial compost.

-The Better Water Filter is carbon based and removes chlorine and organic contaminants from regular municipal tap water.

-Captures the convenient aspect of bottled water.  Take fresh water on the go!

-BPA free!

According to the United Nations, water use has grown at more than twice the rate of population increase in the last century. By 2025, an estimated two-thirds of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed regions as a result of use, growth, and climate change.

While the amount of available water has remained fairly constant over the past few centuries, the population has exploded. And with an accelerating population comes further pollution and consumption of vital resources.  Competition intensifies as the world population competes for a dwindling supply of clean, fresh water to drink and bathe in. Not only does water become more scarce, but more filled with contaminants as well.

New Wave is taking action by providing consumers with the means to acquire purified water.  With such products as the Fresh Water Works Water Filter, which makes 1500 Gallons of fresh, great-tasting water, your family won’t have to worry about the cleanliness of your water supply.  How’s that for some added stress relief?

The State of New York recently placed a 5-cent deposit on bottled water, implying that New York consumers will pay $2 more for a 24-pack of water.  This may be the nudge that many people need to get over their dependency on bottled water and switch to healthier solutions.

According to an article from treehugger.com titled “A World of Reasons to Ditch Bottled Water,” approximately 1.5 million barrels of oil, enough to run 100,000 cars for a whole year, are used to make plastic water bottles, which is one of the reasons why a gallon of bottled water costs 10,000 times more than a gallon of tap water.

The issue shouldn’t just be about the extra cost, but more about your health and the welfare of our planet.  Plastic is essentially no better for us than junk food.  According to Nature Solutions Magazine, 10 brands of water bottles have been found to contain 38 contaminants including bacteria, acetaminophen, fertilizer, solvents and strontium, a radioactive element.  Bottled water is not regulated by the government like tap water is.  So chances are your unfiltered tap water is cleaner than the bottled water you are drinking.

It is highly recommended that you invest in a New Wave Premium 10 Stage Water Filter or Fresh Water Works Water Filter.  Want the convenient aspect of bottled water?  You can purchase New Wave’s BPA free Seriously Safe Stainless Steel or Eastar Resin drinking water bottles.  That way, any water you and your family consume in and out of the house will be purified and healthy for you and the environment!

All of the litter caused from one-time use plastic water bottles has driven consumers to purchase drinking water bottles that can be used over and over again.  But what if  there’s an inexpensive water bottle that is both reusable and, at the same time, in the unlikely event that it is thrown away, can be easily recycled? Thankfully, New Wave Enviro offers that exact bottle!
