Bad Home Water Treatment Systems And How To Avoid Them

With the shocking amount of toxins in our supply and the vast array of home water treatment systems available, it is essential to know what to look for to avoid the bad systems that could leave your health worse off.


The worst offenders are reverse osmosis and distillation whole-house water treatment systems as they give you the apparent security that all of your water is safe, when in fact it isn't.

These home water treatment systems are bad because they strip out the essential minerals we need to be healthy like calcium and magnesium and just as bad they allow many dangerous synthetic chemicals through due to their inadequate filters and outdated technology.

So not only could you end up being mineral deficient, you are also still at risk of contamination from some of today's most resistant toxins.

The other bad ones are the kitchen jug or carafe type which are the most common and you may currently be using one! However, whilst they are better than nothing, they are the least effective and the most expensive method. Apart from some of the chlorine they filter out very little of the harmful toxins.

So onto the most effective ones and the only ones recommended by the US EPA which are activated carbon filter home water treatment systems.

When combined with a sub micron filter and ion exchange they can effectively remove all of the harmful toxins while leaving in the vital minerals. If you have a whole-house water treatment system like this you really can relax knowing there is nothing harmful in your supply.

Also, expensive is no indicator of quality as these carbon block filters tend to cost around a third to a half of the price of the corresponding reverse osmosis types.

Now that you know the bad home water treatment systems to avoid, you can protect you health with the very best instead.
