It continues to baffle me that people still ask the question, is tap water really dangerous.  After all of the reports that have come out over the last few years concerning the number of pollutants that fill our waterways, it is a wonder that anyone doesn't know the answer to that question.

The number of contaminants that haunt our reservoir systems is staggering.  There are over 2,400 impurities alone that are known to cause cancer.  The rate of cancer has grown in men over from one man in 50 to one out of every two over the last 100 years.  This jump is mainly due to the state of our water.

By people constantly asking is tap water really dangerous; it tells me that far too many of us have failed to heed the warnings about the health threats that lurk in our tap water.  They don't seem to understand that even if they don't care about protecting themselves there are putting their children's health at risk.

Because of their smaller size, children are at greater risk than adults are.  The EPA has set "safe" levels for chemical contaminants based on them being ingested by a 150 lb. man.  If your 50lb. child were to consume the same contaminant he or she would be taking in three times the "safe" limit.

You might ask, but is tap water really dangerous even after it's been treated?  The answer to that question is a resounding yes.  The water treatment facilities are at a loss to effectively block these impurities from entering your home due to outdated equipment that was never upgraded to the point of being able to halt these types of impurities.

The system is primarily designed to de-mineralize the water, not to purify it.  The filter is designed to let everything of equal or lesser molecular weight than that of water pass through.  Microscopic organisms that have proven to be immune to chlorination also get by the porous filter.

The fact that there is so much evidence to answer the question is tap water really dangerous proves my case.  You cannot continue to walk around in your rose colored glasses pretending that the threat doesn't really exist.  You have to do something to protect the health of your family, and you have to do it now.

This is a crisis that has passed the point of no return, and the answer to you should be a clear one.  The purchase of a home water purification system is imperative for your family, and the sooner that you get one the better.  The water is only going to get more polluted as time goes by.

You don't have to get the most expensive unit on the market, because there are lower costing models that are better.  Your job is simply to buy the model that affords your family the absolute best protection.  If you want your children to grow up strong and healthy then act, you should never have to ask again is tap water really dangerous.
