Is Your Water Safe?
Keep your family safe! Think of the value your family has, and you'll realize the
filtration system costs little in the scheme of things! You'll find it a bargain
to know your family is getting the best it can in safe water.
Does your water taste funny, smell odd, or have a color to it?
Mine didn't taste odd (I thought) until I did a taste comparison of this filtered water
next to my tap water. My water had a taste to it, and it wasn't good! There are areas in which
water contamination is an issue - seepage of contaminants into the ground, which gets into the
water. I think my area is safe from contaminants, but the water is processed. There are lots of problem
chemicals added when processing in a water plant, and there are some that are not good
for us. Like fluoride, for example. Yes, we have been told we'll get cavities without fluoride,
and that it is safe. Look at your toothpaste tube - there is a warning about digesting the
toothpaste - fluoride isn't good for you. I now drink what I feel is safe, filtered water, no poisons, and there is
no flavor. Filter It!
In the light of more recent threats of biological warfare, we need to understand that most
measures we take are for our own proactive peace of mind. That is fine, if it allows us to
live a pretty normal life. Filtering can take a lot of toxins out (some of the known
contaminants are known to be of a large enough size that our filters can stop their flow) of the water, but
in reality there isn't a known filter for all biological chemicals that can be used. However,
take heart in knowing that a HUGE amount of any chemical must be put into the supply in
order to cause a problem, and it is nearly impossible to get such a large amount into a supply -
both in the way it would be noticeable that a tanker is driving to a reservoir, and for having
such a large amount of chemical readily available. The greater risk lies in the ability of the
water flow to be interrupted. There can be damage caused to the flow route, so that it
cannot get to homes. In the case of this happening, it might be considered wise to stock up on
water. Get some containers, and store them full in your home. Replace the water every once in awhile
to keep it fresh, perhaps once a week or so. Keep those empty milk jugs filled and place in the
freezer for a ready supply if needed. You might want to consider getting a hand pump filtration system (yes, we sell these) for
the case in which electricity might go out - then you can be assured that the possible toxins
from the containers will be effectively filtered, as well. Just do what is needed to insure a safe supply in
case of emergency, and in keeping your peace of mind intact.
There are many toxins and chemicals which can be blocked with our water filtration systems. The units can block
up to a certain size particle, and even certain anthrax particles would fall into this
size range and so could be blocked. Be aware that not all can be stopped, and not all
chemicals can be monitored, tested or blocked. Be assured that our water filters can offer
you the optimum safety as any other system you can find, and in most cases better.
About 90% of the population is drinking water which may contain hundreds of Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs)
which are also known as Trihalomethanes- and some are likely human carcinogens!
SHOCKING!
- Trihalomethanes have been linked in studies to more than 10,000 new bladder and rectal cancers each year.
- The EPA has lowered the Maximum Contaminant Content for DBPs, but it will be years before the new standard
goes into effect.
- More than 30 million Americans are drinking water with lead levels in excess of the Maximum
Contaminant Level as set by the EPA.
- Lead is considered the number 1 health threat to children, and its effects last a lifetime ... lead poisoning
can stunt growth, damage the nervous system, and cause learning disabilities.
- Over 900,000 people become ill each year from, and as many as 90,000 die from waterborne disease.
- Microscopic cysts(Giardia and/or Cryptosporidium) have been found in 97% of our surface water supplies
and in 39% of drinking water supplies in the US.
- About 14.1 milliom Americans routinely consume drinking water containing pesticides, including weed killers,
atrazine, alachlor, and simazine.
- More than 120 million people (close to 50% of the population) may get unsafe waer, according to a study done by
the Natural Resources Defense Council.
- The US General Accouting Office reports that there are serious deficiencies in water treatment plants in 75% of
the states.
What Can We Do About It???
We can run our drinking water through purifiers which can eliminate or drastically reduce these contaminants and carcinogens.
The nationally recognized standards established for the drinking water industry confirm that the most effective systems for
the removal of aesthetics and health effects contaminants are those which utilize solid carbon block filtering technology.
Our systems use this technology, and have been listed, certified and/or registered by many entities.
Email us or call 303-349-7096
to find out more about our fine filtering systems. It will make a difference you can tell- in taste, in your health, in
analysis testing, in feeling good about what you drink.
Do a side-by-side comparison with tasting our filtered water next that from your your tap - it's noticeable!

Relief for your back & neck when using a laptop, and eliminate the heat
Laptops are ergonomically awful - the screen and keyboard aren't in the right places to keep yourself
healthy - you have to lean over to work with it, and then there is the problem of heat - which can and does
cause other health problems. One wonderful invention is the LapGenie
- it is an adjustable desk to set your
laptop into the best position it can be. It folds up for easy travel, and has many other uses. Check it out. It's made a huge difference to
me and a lot of people. Highly recommended!
