Health and Drinking Water

Drinking Water quality in the United States is very uneven. In fact, in many areas there may even be natural toxics which adversely affect drinking water quality. Also, cyanide from cyanide rendering plants, in rivers, lakes, streams and underground springs and aquifers, can poison drinking water. And, acid rain from burning high sulpher coal which puts sulpheric acid into lakes, rivers, streams, and ground water. Water quality can also be adversely affected by agricultural run off such as herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizer. The long term solution to this problem is to regulate pollution which affects water quality. The short term solution is to put a good water filter on you kitchen drinking water faucet. The Pur Water Filter System is affordable and works well. You install the Pure Water Filter attachment onto your kitchen water faucet and then you need to change the filter about once a month for best results. The Pur attachment costs about $30 and the filters are about $10 each. A p[hoto of the Pur Water Filter is shown above.
