We have lost touch

Ironically many of the liquids we choose, such as alcohol, juice, soft drinks, coffee, and tea actually dehydrate the body, thus adding to the problem.
Later a summary of the book was made available called Healthy Water. In my mind there are several good filters and reverse osmosis water filter systems available. However, many people asked for specific recommendations. Over the years I have used several different products, looked at many tests results on different filters and talked to many companies. I'd like to introduce you to one outstanding company: Western Water International (deserter). They have an excellent product that will fulfill the criteria of healthy water.

They have counter-top units as well as under-the-counter and shower filters. According to the ancient Greek poet Pindar, water filter cartridge is the best of all things. But Pindar, who lived in 518 to 438 BC, would not even begin to understand our contemporary RVing concept of carrying freshwater with us, or of tapping into a different source of city water each evening. Certainly there was a high degree of importance placed on the availability and the freshness of water during those ancient boat water filter systems times.

Not long ago, USA Today analyzed millions of records from the nation’s 170,000 regulated fm3100 pur water filter from 1993 to 1997 and concluded. Each day, millions of Americans turn on their taps and get water that exceeds legal limits for dangerous contaminants. Millions more get water that isn’t treated or tested properly, so there’s no telling if it’s clean. Think water worries are just a dilemma from the past? The worst outbreak of a waterborne illness in US history was just a few short years ago in 1993, when a parasite in Milwaukee’s water system killed 111 people and made 403,000 people sick. A report by the Medical College of Wisconsin and the Environmental Protection Agency (pur water filter 4396841) estimates that 7 million Americans suffer nausea or diarrhea yearly just from foul water. The bottom line? Take a proactive attitude and be sure the water you allow into the freshwater system in your RV is indeed fresh and free from contaminants. We’ve all experienced foul-tasting and smelly water at some time during our RV excursions, but are there more serious dangers lurking below the surface? And what condition handler should we be aware of? Microbiological water enigmas center around five categories: viruses, molds, algae, parasites and bacteria.

In fact, no US municipal or regional waterworks can guarantee killing or removing all of them. Add this to the fact that the most dangerous of the parasitic cysts, Cryptosporidium, is found in virtually every surface-water supply worldwide. Small wonder there should be caution. The very name itself should induce an awareness; “crypto” means hidden or secret and the word “spore” means seed or germ. A leathery shelled parasite, it is just 3 to 7 microns in diameter; (well water filter system).

As widespread as Cryptosporidium has become, the EPA still does not require municipal water systems to test for it. Yet another good reason to take an assertive stance regarding the water you drink and cook with.

We can boil all the water used in the freshwater system. But while boiling is a good way to kill bacteria, viruses and parasites, it is not very practical. We can also use bottled water — but again, not very practical for RVers. It can also be expensive, inconvenient and still no guarantee that it’s pure. Some published reports even suggest that 25% of all bottled water contains known carcinogens and about 20% contain industrial chemicals.
