Water On Tap What You Need To Know

The United States has one of the safest water supplies in the world.However, national statistics don't tell you specifically about the qualityand safety of the water coming out of your tap. That's because drinkingwater quality varies from place to place, depending on the condition ofthe source water from which it is drawn and the treatment it receives.Now you have a new way to find information about your drinkingwater, if it comes from a public water supplier (EPA doesn't regulateprivate wells, but recommends that well owners have their water testedannually). Starting in 1999, every community water supplier mustprovide an annual report (sometimes called a consumer confidencereport) to its customers. The report provides information on your localdrinking water quality, including the water's source, the contaminantsfound in the water, and how consumers can get involved in protectingdrinking water. If you have been looking for specific information aboutyour drinking water, this annual report will provide you with theinformation you need to begin your investigation.

More than 20 years ago, when our children were very small, I felt the need for better drinking water quality and I purchased a small counter top appliance that hooked up to the water tap. It didnt take long before I realized that this was just a bandaid and that something more powerful was needed and thus I embarked on a mission to educate myself about home drinking water filtration systems. This was pretty much in the days before I had a computer, so I looked at trade magazines and sent for every drinking water brochure I could find, read them all and compared for quality and price. This convinced me very quickly of the benefits and affordability of solid carbon block technology and I ended up with a company that took the water filtration business very seriously and in my opinion did produce and still produces

Explains where it comes from and how it's treated, what contaminants are, and what to do in case of a problem with either your public or private water supply.
