Email Better health begins with better water. For those who care about the quality of the water they drink, a portable filtration system can provide clean, fresh, pure water everytime, anywhere. While tap water that meets federal and state standards generally is safe to drink, threats to drinking water quality and quantity are increasing. Because of problems ranging from disease outbreaks linked to contaminated drinking water to restrictions on water use during drought, we can no longer take our drinking water for granted.
Municipalities do their best to safeguard our drinking water supplies.
Unfortunately, municipal treatment facilities primarily treat for waterborne diseases, not toxic chemicals. Although the treatment for toxic contamination is technologically possible, it is not economically feasible. The high tech treatment of water used for nonconsumption is unnecessary. In addition, the results of this costly treatment would be negated as the water travels through deteriorating, contaminated pipes on its way to the household tap. Therefore, the responsibility for quality drinking water rests with individual.
