What Kind Of Water Should You Be Drinking?

----------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------

By Jim Thorpe


Towns and cities go to great lengths to confirm that their citizens' water supply is safe and clean. Millions of dollars go into cleaning water, maintaining water pipes, and monitoring potential threats. Some areas require water filters and others do not. Every once in a while, something goes wrong and people suddenly realize how important water is to them. But usually, that doesn't happen. We drink and cook and bathe freely without a second thought.

You may also find that the water in your area is great for your body. If it is purified and has added fluoride, you can be sure that you are getting a great combination of chemicals and minerals to keep yourself healthy.

Side Effects

Bottled Water

When you pick up a plastic bottle full of water in the grocery store, you may want to think twice about drinking the water. When water sits inside a plastic bottle, some of the dangerous toxins from the plastic can leach into the water. You want to make sure that you are drinking water from glass or from a filter to ensure that you are not getting the chemicals that you can get from bottled water.

Only washing your clothes and your dirty dishes when your washer and dishwasher are full can save you up to 1,000 gallons of water a month.

Beyond such preparation, it is important to have your water supply checked at least 3 times a year if you have your own water supply. (If you use public supplies, they will monitor it carefully for you.) You can have a professional come in and test your water supply or learn to do it yourself. By maintaining your water system, testing it often, and always being aware of possible water-contamination symptoms, you should be fine enjoying your own, personal supply of fresh, clean water!
