Living Water

We, Americans, drank over nine billions gallons of bottled water last year that's over 30 gallons per every woman, man and child in the country. We also spent over $ 23 billions on bottled water and researchers said we should be getting it free from our home faucets. What? Yes, many studies showed that most of bottled water is not better than city water. I am no scientist, nor doctor so I did a light research on water.

The Environmental Working Group tested 10 best-selling brands of bottled water for 170 contaminants and found different mixture of 38 contaminants, including bacteria, fertilizer, and industrial chemicals at levels similar to those allowed in tap water (read more...).
Who regulates the water quality? EPA is in charge with city water and they have some strict (not so strict in my opinion) rules about what and how much contaminants are allowed in tap water. Bottled water is under FDA administration with a different set of rules: ... bottle water rules allow some contamination by E.coli or fecal coliforms which indicate possible fecal matter contamination ... read more. You want more? Here it goes: ... FDA does not require bottled water to be tested for parasites such as cryptosporidium or giardia; the EPA does require this testing for tap water ... read more.

There is another bigger issue with the water, issue that goes untold (my personal opinion) for economic reasons. And this is the PH level of the water. The water we drink in any form (tap, bottled, sodas) has a low PH and the PH level is much lower in flavored water and sodas. Low PH leads to dehydration. Recent studies revealed that a PH of 7.36 is ideal for a homeostatis body. Less than that leads to dehydration. Let's look at some of the PH found:
  • Tap water 7.0
  • Purified water 5.5
  • Coffee/Tea 5.0
  • Tomato juice 4.0
  • Orange juice 3.5
  • Soda 3.0
What are the symptoms of dehydration? Thirsty! In 37% of Americans thirst is often mistaken for hunger! Mild dehydration can slow metabolism by as much as 3%. Dehydration is the leading cause of daytime fatigue. Dehydration can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, difficulty focusing. Certain migraines and headache are caused by dehydration. 

What is the solution? Buy a good water conditioning unit. Do I have a recommendation? Of course! It is called Living Water by Vollara. Why I recommend this product? Here are some of the reasons:
  1. Adjustable PH from 2.0 - 11.0
  2. Two filter system (filter life to 10,000 L - about 2,700 gal) plus a reusable mineral port
  3. Easy to install on any faucet
  4. Self cleaning - virtual no maintenance
  5. Proprietary new DDI Ionization technology
  6. Antioxidant properties (this should be #1)
