Jan 24, 2017
Water makes up over 60% of your body. Not only is the amount of water you put into your body an important factor for overall good health, so is the quality of the water.
Most of the water people consume today is loaded with chlorine and potentially harmful bacteria. If you are unsure of what you are drinking, contact your local water company and ask for a fact sheet. When you see the information provided, you might be surprised at what you, and your family, are drinking.
While public water facilities do their best to remove all of the bacteria from your public water drinking sources, they cannot always control them; think of the recent incident in Flint, Michigan.
Luckily, there are steps you can take to protect yourself and your drinking water. One way of doing this is with professional advanced water filter installation.
