As you learn more about water, you will have to ask yourself

 

“What kind of water am I going to drink?”

One great visual example that you can try

for yourself at home is the "Boil Test"

 

Boil down a 1/2 cup of tap water in a pot. If the water is clean when it boils out, the only thing left should be... nothing!

Consider this.. if all of these contaminants in the water can, and do cause harm over time to us (humans),

is it possible they could be having a similar effect on our beloved pets?

 

Unfortunately, the truth is there are many studies to prove this is the case.

 

This article covers a direct link between chlorine and cancer risk in dogs.

 

This data study shows a connection between

water hardness and urinary health in cats.

 

And these do not account for every other contaminant

commonly found in almost every source of water.

Filters are dark, wet and room temperature.

 

Because of this, they become breeding ground for bacterium, virus and parasites... they grow biofilm.

 

Most filters don't remove any inorganic minerals

and are hard to replace.

 

A small filter like a cartridge filter is good only for filtering out chlorine. And as with all filters, their ability to reduce contaminants only degrades with use over time.

Deionized Water is less pure and filters out less than distillation or reverse osmosis. Deionized water has been treated to remove ions - typically this means all the mineral salts.

 

Deionization DOES NOT remove bacterium, chlorine, organic material  and cryptosporidium.

You may recall seeing in movies people being electrocuted by water or heard of the toaster-in-the-bathtub scenario involving electric shock caused by an electric current flowing through the water... but can water actually conduct electricity?

 

This question is answered and explained simply in the video below:

What's the difference between Distilled Water and "Purified Water"?

 

First, let's address the problem of purified water.

 

The problem is there is no one standard that magically changes the water from impure to "pure". 

 

Purified water could include a wide range of water types and different levels of pollution charted on a scale of "purification".

 

On the low end of the purification scale you could just remove some sediment and call it "purified".

 

On the high end of the purification scale you could remove virus, bacteria, parasites, chemicals, poisons, toxins, radioactive particles and more.

 

You may notice many store-bought brands of bottled water claim to have "purified water" when in reality it can be tap water that has been minimally filtered if at all.

 

The question to ask yourself is:

 

"How much virus do I want in my water?"

 

"How much bacteria or parasites do I want in my water?"

 

"How many poisons or plastics or chemicals do I want to drink?"

 

"How much arsenic or lead do I want to drink every day?"

 

Distilled Water is free of virtually all contaminants, not just some.

 

If a virus ever breaks out in your municipal water, you can be assured safety from contracting the toxin from your water supply.

Reverse Osmosis is a filter that has a sediment filter, a carbon filter and a membrane filter that does take out the minerals.

 

It does that by back-washing through the filter after it builds up pressure. It is very wasteful... it wastes 2 to 12 gallons of water per filtered gallon.

 

It is not effective unless you buy an expensive Reverse Osmosis unit.

Even then, the filters themselves are plastic and degrade with use, causing them to be less and less effective as time goes on.

 

Reverse Osmosis takes out many of the chemicals because they have a carbon filter on them. But there are many things that Reverse Osmosis does not remove:

 

Reverse Osmosis DOES NOT completely filter out or remove:

Arsenic

Bacterium 

Fluoride

Nitrates

Virus

Rain Water actually starts off as distilled water, but falls through an absolutely filthy atmosphere where it picks up emissions from factories, smog from cities, solvents from all kinds of chemicals, emissions from cars, trains, planes, buses and so on.

 

All of that is in the air,

this is part of the reason why the light turns on in the tap water.

 

Our water then hits the ground, in one teaspoon of dirt we have billions of bacterium, virus and parasites.

 

The reason we do is because every animal or insect that has ever lived, reproduced, died and decomposed has become part of the soil.

And that is the food for the bacterium, virus, and parasites.

 

When the rain hits the ground it picks up these bacterium, virus, parasites, decomposed animals and insects. It carries them to a river, stream, lake, or well and that water is full of everything that is in the soil.

 

It comes to a lake where fish live and die there. And we drink that. We drink everything that is in the soil, every microorganism, everything that comes in contact with water , water absorbs and transports.

Then the water comes to a Water Treatment Plant, where we are chemically treating our water, that is why it is called the "Treatment Plant". There, our water is exposed to many chemicals.

 

A direct quote from Dr. Eva Nieminski PhD 

from Utah State University states:

 

“We’re learning about very resistant pathogens in water. They are very difficult to kill so you need strong disinfectants. These chemicals may ultimately cause cancer over a lifetime. So the question becomes, would you rather have diarrhea today, or cancer over a 70-year period?”

 

These are your choices if you drink tap water.

 

The cancer they are talking about is Prostate Cancer, Bladder Cancer, Colon Cancer, and Urinary Tract Cancers because that is where water goes first and your body is exposed to all of those chemicals.

 

We know chlorine mixes with acids in water and that causes

tri-ethylene compounds.

 

Tri-ethylene compounds are linked to spontaneous miscarriage and various cancers according to

John Hopkins University in New York and USA Today.

When our water leaves the water Treatment Plant it travels though the pipe system. Some of these pipe systems are hundreds of miles long and hundreds of years old.

The tap water goes back and forth through hundreds of miles of pipe and then comes up into our tap.

 

We turn on our taps on and drink out of our beautiful faucets and think nothing about the journey that water has been on.

 

This is the same story in almost every city across the United States.

 

It's the same journey of water to your home.

 

The journey of water truly is a long, filthy journey.

There are over 80,000 chemicals in our water.

 

In 1903 we had 3 people in 100 dying of cancer.

 

In that hundred years until now, we have developed over 80,000 commercially produced chemicals and we unfortunately find these chemicals in our water.

 

Today 1 in 4 people die of cancer and 1 in 3 people get cancer, and the cancer rate is still rising.

“1 out of 2 people will get cancer in their lifetime... the way we live influences the way we die.”

Why is the rate of cancer skyrocketing?

 

You think about the chemicals in our lives, we wash our hair with chemicals, we brush our teeth with chemicals, we wash our clothes with chemicals, we have chemicals on our food… we are a chemical society.

 

The only thing that takes that out of our bodies is the water we drink.

 

Water absorbs and cleans everything out of our body

as it goes through our system.

Alot of states don't have any regulation on bottled water at all!

In a government study 25% of all bottled water was just ordinary tap water put in a plastic bottle.

 

In another study 64%

of bottled water was found to be tap water.

 

Since there aren't many regulations, you can never really know what you're going to get in a bottle of water.

 

Water in a plastic bottle sitting on a shelf in a grocery store can sit there for months on end. If it has any bacterium, virus or parasites in the bottled water they can 10,000 times themselves in the heat of the store or during shipping.

 

There are some brands that are very good and there are some brands that aren't but you'll have to read on the label and find out for yourself which are best. 

 

What about drinking distilled water in a 1 gallon plastic milk jug from the grocery store?

 

The problem is the low quality plastic milk bottle that they fill with distilled water.  They use the plastic milk bottles because they are cheap and it lowers the cost of bottling distilled water.

 

This low quality plastic bottle leaches plastic and

other chemicals into the distilled water

(and also into milk or any liquid used with these cheap bottles). 

 

During the process of making this plastic bottle, it is made out of formaldehyde and many other carcinogenics that are linked to cancers of all kinds. We see this in the news all the time about the safety of these bottles.

 

With all bottled water you are taking a risk by getting water in plastic. 

Buying bottled distilled water is very expensive long-term.  For example:

 

  1 Gallon of distilled water costs about $1.00 at the store.

 

If you use 1 gallon per person per day and if you have 4 people in your family, then you would spend $4.00 x 365 =  $1,460 EVERY YEAR!

 

You could buy a brand new Water Distiller every single year with the money you'd be wasting on bottled distilled water from the store!

Spring Water is hard water.

 

Remember whenever you are drinking right out of the ground, right out of the dirt, you are drinking dirt.

 

You are drinking filth.

 

You are drinking everywhere you have walked.

 

You are drinking everything that is on your shoe.

 

It doesn’t matter where that water is from, the filth is there.

 

These inorganic minerals are what we are drinking.

Does that look like it would be good for the inside of our bodies?

Dr. Charles Mayo of the Mayo Clinic said:

 

“Water hardness (inorganic minerals in solution) is the underlying cause of many, if not all, of the diseases resulting from poisons in the intestinal tract. These (hard minerals) pass from the intestinal walls and get into the lymphatic system, which delivers all of its products to the blood, which in turn, distributes to all parts of the body.

 

This is the cause of much human disease.” 

In Dr. Allen E. Banik’s book “The Choice is Clear” he says,

“If you are concerned about arthritis, hardening of the arteries, kidney stones, gall stones, cataracts, glaucoma, loss of hearing, diabetes, obesity or emphysema. Do not drink the inorganic minerals found in water.”

He is just talking about the inorganic minerals, we're talking about over 80,000 different chemicals in our water.

 

We're talking about the insects, bacterium, parasites, virus, and dead animals in our water.

Chlorine (Chlorine Dioxide/Chlorite) is prevalant in

all treated water.

 

Chlorine is linked to a lot of diseases including cancer, even cardiovascular disease because it roughens up the artery walls in your body causing inorganic materials to stick to your blood vessel walls.

A rough spot makes it easier for things to stick.

You may go around for 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, or 70 years before you have any cardiovascular disease cause you any problems.

 

But if the wrong blood vessel gets plugged off,

they call that a heart attack.

 

If the wrong blood vessel in your brain gets plugged off,

they call that a stroke.

 

The same problematic water can cause numerous health problems in our beloved pets. Chlorinated water has been shown to have a direct link to cancer risk in dogs.

 

According to the CDC:

 

"647,000 Americans die from heart disease each year -

that's 1 in every 4 deaths.

In the United States,

someone has a heart attack every 40 seconds."

 

 

According to the U.S. Council of Environmental Quality,

"Cancer risk among people using chlorinated water is as much as 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine."

 

 

"We are learning the hard way that all the time we thought we were preventing epidemics of one disease, we were creating another. Two decades after the start of chlorinating our drinking water the present epidemic of heart trouble and cancer began."

- Joseph M. Price, PhD

 

 

"Up to two-thirds of the harmful effects of chlorine are due to inhalation and skin absorption while showering."

- The American Journal Of Public Health

If these inorganic minerals get into our body, into our joints, in our ears and eyes, it can cause aging diseases that we don’t have any cure for.

Volatile gases however do distill over across,

that is why we put a post-carbon filter on a distiller.

 

The carbon filter has a broad spectrum of filtration for volatile gases.

 

A lot of your volatile gases are:

- Petroleum (Oil, Gasoline)

- Chlorine

- Pesticides (many of them are phyrethroids).

 

We know the combination of the distillation process and the carbon filter take all of this out of the water, up to 99.9% and you would have to drink millions of gallons to get any adverse effect from the leftover traces of chemicals and other contaminants.

TDS stands for (Total Dissolved Solids), that means anything that is totally dissolved in the water will show up on a TDS meter.

 

You can acquire a TDS meter for around $15 and test your water to see where it measures at.

 

TDS meters measure in parts-per-million (ppm)

 

The video below demonstrates simply how to efficiently use a TDS Meter to determine the level of contamination in water:

Tip: Use Code "H2OH" for 5% off your order!

The best solution is to invest in a home water distiller with water storage.

 

You can either acquire a unit that has a built-in storage tank,

or get a glass dispenser with stainless steel spigot to store your water in after it's been distilled.

 

Make sure to take note of how much water production you will need

out of a machine before deciding on a distiller.

 

For example, smaller units that make 1gal/cycle

would work best for 1-2 people.

 

For families or 3+ people, pets, etc. larger machines may be necessary to be able to produce enough clean water for everyone.

If you choose with your newfound knowledge to invest in a Distiller for a healthier life, you will soon find beneficial everyday uses for your new pure water... ranging from Making Coffee & Tea, Hand washing, Teeth brushing, Dish rinsing, Washing Clothes, Drinking (of course!), Showering, Making Shampoo, Cosmetic applications,

Home cleaning solutions, Pet drinking water,

Garden growing and much much more!

"It's time to decide in your life what kind of water you are going to drink from now on!"
