Have you been going round and round with buying bottled water or drinking your tap water? As a single mom, with everything that I've been hearing in the news and reading online, I got a bit concerned and actually did my own research and did something about it. Read below to see what I found then decide for yourself if using Summit Osmosis is best for you and your family.Did you know there are standards to ensure safe drinking water in the US? The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed these standards for many contaminants that may be found in your drinking water. This means that your water treatment facilites are faced with the task to remove as much as possible, however they cannot remove 100%.
Even though there aren't any studies to show what impact this would have on anyones health, I'm not about to gamble with my life or my children's. Until I found Summit Osmosis, I wasn't aware that there was chlorine in my water. Or agricultural pollutants from herbicide and insecticides that are used by farmers. There are things that can cause problems ranging from kidney/liver problems to cardiovascular, reproduction problems as well as disorders involving your nervous system.
Lead has been found in the water system as well, did you know that the EPA found up to 20% of lead exposure in young children that can be found from your drinking water? This can cause delayed physical and/or mental development as well as possible minor ADD as well as other learning disabilites.
Keep in mind in March 2008, the Associate Press published a report that found various pharmaceutical compounds in the water supplies of 24 major cities in the US.
The thing that really caught me, was that the EPA found Cryptosporidium (a microbial cycst) which is a parasite found in lakes and rivers, in our drinking water. It causes nausea, diarrhea, headaches and cramps and this little guy is resistant to disinfection! If you don't believe me, check out the EPA's site: http://www.epa.gov/safewater/faq/emerg.html
I know for a fact where I live, our water treatment facility gets our water from 2 rivers. 2!
How clean is your cities water?
I was impressed with the way our water tasted after signing up with Summit Osmosis. They have a rate plan that worked with my budget. If you don't do anything else, please, just stop by and check them out. If you are concerned, look around, do the research like I did. The best drinking water can be found with them!
