Have you ever heard the adage, ” You either use a great water filter, or you are one. Anyone that isn’t using a filter should have their head examined by a competent psychiatrist! The information on the web, and in printed materials is overwhelming clear. Our most vital element, that makes up the majority of our Planet, which was once drinkable right from the source, is now so laden with toxicity that our health is threatened by the consumption of it! The jury is back on Fluoride as well, which will be a subject of later discussion, you know dental cavities, and our government’s concern for the teeth of its citizens…please!  Look at just one issue of the vast amount of information that is readily available to us concerning toxic drinking water. There are some pundits who believe that good drinking water will become a serious issue to the survival of our species.

If school kids drink tap water in their schools in major urban areas where testing is done regularly, they risk lead contamination from old pipes — known to affect physical and mental development . A recent nationwide investigation showed that the drinking water in schools in 27 states is contaminated with lead and other toxic substances from lead-soldered pipes installed before 1985.

In 2007, Baltimore City public schools switched their entire system to bottled water after a study of 84 randomly selected water fountains found 10 with lead levels high than the EPA’s cutoff of 20 parts per billion.

The school district decided it would be more cost effective to provide bottled water than testing and remediation efforts. But the worldwide taste for bottled water grows, environmentalists have been trying to sell people on tap water. Bottled water is a huge drain on the environment —  in the U.S.alone public goes through about 50 billion water bottles a year, and most of those plastic containers are not recycled.
