Looking for a reason to filter your home drinking water this summer? How about more than 140? Let’s start with these:
• Lead
• Mercury
• Asbestos
• Radon
• Radon decay products
• Over 30 pesticides
• Vinyl chloride
• MTBE (a gasoline additive)
• 13 disinfection by-products, including THMs, which are potential byproducts generated from using chlorine to disinfect water
• Suspected carcinogens that may exist in drinking water
• Over 20 endocrine disrupters
This is just a partial list of the contaminants that might be found in your drinking water after it leaves your water treatment facility.
“Contamination of water can come from a variety of sources including industry, agriculture and nature,” said Rob Missman, Water Filtration Engineer at AMWAY™. “The drinking water distribution system – including corroded pipes, roof top reservoirs, and even in-home plumbing components – can be potential sources as well.
“This isn’t intended to scare people about their water quality, but to make them aware of the opportunities for contamination and the benefit of having a water treatment solution in your home.”
Point-of-use water filters act as a final barrier between those contaminants and your drinking water. There are several different types of filters available offering different levels of performance.
The eSpring™ system effectively reduces more than 140 potential health-affect contaminants, but it leaves in beneficial minerals and nutrients like calcium, magnesium and fluoride. So if you want to protect your family’s health, and have cleaner, safer water, then choose the eSpring system for your home!
