WHY WATER FILTRATION?
Quality Water has benefits!
Your body is 70 percent water. Newborns are over 70% water. Pure water, which means a clean water molecule, unencumbered by excessive dissolved solids, flushes out toxins,through your bodies filters, the Liver and Kidneys, relieves headaches, promotes weight loss, improves your complexion, aids in digestion and healing in general!
Dehydration is common! So when your water is of poor quality, your mind and body can’t function properly. You may feel sluggish, bloated, and dehydrated without the proper amount of high quality water. IT’S TRUE THAT WE SHOULD DRINK AT LEAST 7-8 GLASSES OF WATER A DAY, BUT THE DOCTOR SHOULD ADD THAT IT SHOULD BE QUALITY WATER WITH 0-50 PPM T.D.S., 0-1 GRAINS PER GALLON HARDNESS!
The EPA requires public and local municipal water treatment facilities to remove major contaminants, E.Coli, Bacteria, etc., however, they may not necessarily remove impurities that make your water smell and taste bad! Furthermore, they may not be supplying you with water that is optimal for your health! WATER FILTERS provide an extra line of defense against microorganisms that may make you sick or dry out your hair and skin. Ultra Violet is a new way to destroy harmful micro organisms in water for the ultimate insurance!
To give you some idea of the EPA’s idea of water quality standards, read this disclosure I took from the 2017 Water Quality and Confidence Report of the local New Braunfels Texas Report:
“Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may
come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural
livestock operations, and wildlife.
Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can
be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff,
industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas
production, mining, or farming.
Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of
sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and
residential uses.
Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile
organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes
and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations,
urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.
Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring
or the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the EPA
prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain
contaminants in water provided by public water systems.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits
for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same
protection for public health.
Contaminants may be found in drinking water that may cause
taste, color, or odor problems. These types of problems are not
necessarily causes for health concerns. For more information
on taste, odor, or color of drinking water, please contact NBU at
830.608.8901.
It is Important to Note
Some Individuals may be more vulnerable than the general
population to certain microbial contaminants, such as
Cryptosporidium, in drinking water. Infants, some elderly,
or immunocompromised persons such as those undergoing
chemotherapy for cancer; persons who have undergone organ
transplants; those who are undergoing treatment with steroids;
and people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders,
can be particularly at risk for infections. You should seek advice
about drinking water from your physician or health care provider.
Additional guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of
infection by Cryptosporidium are available from the Safe Drinking
Water Hotline at 800.426.4791.
More information about contaminants and
potential health effects can be obtained by
calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline
at 800.426.4791.”
The question is, are these standards good enough for you and your loved ones? I don’t think so! More than 60 new contaminants are currently unregulated and have no set safe levels of consumption determined! Click the link below to understand more about the fight to force the EPA to do it’s job!
EPA Must Uphold Its Duty to Protect Our Drinking Water!
What Quality Water Does for You?
Why do you need quality water? Find out the top reasons with our list below:
Leads to Better Health
Quality water helps prevent waterborne illness. A 2009 University of California, Berkeley study found that participants who used a reverse osmosis/UV filter suffered about 12% fewer gastrointestinal illnesses that participants who drank unfiltered water. Although the Environmental Protection Agency regulates water treatment facilities for chemicals, microorganisms, and other contaminants, it doesn’t test for a variety of contaminants. Many public water supply companies don’t test for the following:
- Synthetic Hormones: birth control pills, hormone therapy treatments
- Pharmaceuticals: antibiotics, aspirin, cancer drugs, antidepressants
- Agricultural Chemicals: weed killers, pesticides
- Household Chemicals: cleaners, deodorants, shampoos

Fresher Taste and Odor
Ever wonder why water from the tap sometimes smells like rotten eggs or tastes metallic? Hydrogen sulfide gas can cause water to give off an unpleasant odor (and damages plumbing). The presence of iron or manganese in water could lead to a metallic taste. Water filters remove impurities that cause foul tasting and foul smelling water by trapping microorganisms through an intake hose. This leads to fresh, pure-tasting and smelling water.
City or Well water we are the first line of defense!

Water Quality Tips
You’ve learned how good water quality is beneficial to your health and maintaining your appliances and plumbing fixtures; now it’s time to achieve these goals through taking action. The following are tips on maintaining good water quality:
Maintain Your Water Softener
If you have a water softener, make sure to regularly check on its salt levels. Lift up the softener tank lid—if the lid is less than half full, it needs salt. Pour some salt into it to replenish the salt levels to maximum functionality.
Keep Your Water Filters Clean
If you have a water filter, follow the filter manufacturer’s instructions on how often to replace and/or clean the filter. If not regularly maintained, your filter may not be as effective at trapping water contaminants.
Wash Your Water Containers
Even the cleanest tap water can be contaminated if its storage container is dirty. Make sure to regularly wash your household pitchers, water bottles, and other containers with dish detergent. If the container is especially dirty, you can use unscented bleach and water to wash out the container.
