Filtering tap water doesn’t have to be complicated.

About a year ago I found out that the tap water in most major cities around the world is simply not safe to drink. I also looked at the research done on cities in the United States and realized that the water is not better here.

This made me reconsider if it really is safe to drink tap water. Well, I knew it’s quite normal for entire families to buy bottled water to drink, but after figuring out how much it would cost me, I decided I needed to find another way to access clean, safe water. In a typical family, almost $3,000 a year must be paid to cover the costs of bottled water.

It didn’t take me long to find out that I can, in fact, use a water filter that will remove all the dangerous things like bacteria, heavy metals, and parasites. However, most of these filters were extremely expensive and some of them were not safe to use.

See, some filters remove beneficial minerals found in tap water. But by doing this they are really hurting our bodies. Recent studies have finally shown the correlation between mineral deficiency in water and serious diseases.

That is why it is very important that you know exactly what your home water filter does. If it doesn’t remove at least 95% of heavy metals, it’s best not to use it at all.

I really hope this article has helped you understand that our water is not properly filtered and that you can make your own filter and ensure that you are drinking safe and clean water.
