Here is a news flash that may make you sit up and take notice. Recent studies have shown that an alarming amount of municipal drinking water throughout several states contain traces of prescription drugs. Without the right kind of filter your water supply today can contain a host of ills and even a few prescription drugs. Antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mental stabilizers and even sex hormones are among the evils hiding in our water supply.

In addition to the drugs, a myriad of pollutants and contaminants are lurking in our water, including industrial and farm chemicals, nitrates, pesticides, disinfectants, and even arsenic. In the not too distant past, a person would only have to be concerned about using a water filter to protect themselves against such things if traveling to a very rural and underdeveloped region or when hiking alone in the wilderness.

Decades ago, drinking water pollution was seldom heard in the news and the need for a water filter was relatively rare. Nevertheless, progress has its price and it has taken its toll on our water supply. We can no longer count on the water coming out of our kitchen taps as being safe for us.

Are you ready to go running out to buy a water filter yet? If not, you should be! But, an overwhelming majority of American”s who are surveyed show little or no concern about the possible harm they are doing to their bodies by drinking contaminated water.
