Well we certainly can’t live without it. We can live without food for up to five weeks but we can only live without water for up to 5 days. In today’s world we cannot be certain exactly what is in the water we drink from the tap, or even the bottled water we buy. Is it pure water? What exactly is in our tap water and is it good for us?

In order to kill off harmful bacteria and other microorganisms to make clean water our drinking water is treated with a large number of chemicals. Along with these chemicals your water can contain toxic metal salts, hormones and pesticides, lead and more.

Chemicals typically found are:

• Chlorine
• Fluorine compounds
• Trihalomethanes (THMs)
• Arsenic, Radium, Aluminum, Copper, Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, and Barium
• Hormones and Pharmaceuticals
• Nitrates
• Pesticides

The healthiest water doesn’t come from your tap, or in a bottle. For truly healthy water in your home, the answer is ‘selective filtration’. Activated Carbon water treatment filters can distinguish between pollution and trace minerals. Aquasana products are convenient, economical and produce the best tasting water.

Aquasana’s advanced twin cartridge, multi-stage filtration units combine the most effective technologies available.

This patented process selectively filters out chemicals such as chlorine, lead, VOCs, THMs, MTBE and over 100 common tap water contaminants. Sub-micro filtration removes turbidity and effectively removes more than 99.99% of bacteria, Cryptosporidium and Gardia (chlorine resistant parasites). This leaves the natural minerals intact, providing healthy, great tasting water.

Unlike bottled water, home water filters are required to document the purity of the water they produce.
