Contaminated water doesn't always look murky. Every glass of water you drink may be laced with herbicides, chemical waste and arsenic. Do you know that we are affected by toxic minerals and chemicals in the air and in our food on a daily basis. Water is the only way that helps our bodies to flush out these toxins. Therefore, the purer the water is to start with, the higher its capacity to collect and cleanse these compounds from the body.
Do you even know that according to Malaysia's Chemistry Department, which provides water testing services for enforcement and monitoring purposes, it has never done tests for the presence of drugs in drinking or surface water samples & never received a request to do so?
Imagine, not all the medication consumed is absorbed by the body.
Some drugs like antibiotic ciprofloxacin and digoxin for heart problems are hard to metabolise with only about half used. Other drugs like metaformin for diabetes and atenolol for high blood pressure, are not metabolised as much, and at least 80% of these pills end up in the toilet.
Some people also flush down their unused medications.
This wastewater is then treated before being discharged into reservoirs, rivers or lakes and is cleansed again at the water treatment plants before reaching your home.
The EPA says there are no sewage treatment systems specifically engineered to remove pharmaceuticals.
WORSE, there is evidence that adding chlorine during water treatment processes actually more some pharmaceuticals MORE TOXIC!
Do you know?
There's a big difference between filtering and purifying:
a) Filtering - basically means removal of particles, smell and colour
b) Purifying - uses a technology that combines different methodologies to deliver water in the
purest form possible
I'm glad that my family decided to buy this filter for our home, with our 8th instalment paid up. We need not to worry to fork out extra cash when I move in to my new home......
