Let’s face it, a human body and many of its organs consist of at least 70% water. Water and its purity, has a major role in the proper and healthy functioning of the body. When the body is dehydrated, it affects nerves, the brain and prevents proper digestion and absorption of nutrients from the foods we eat. So given that water with toxins/contaminants in it could prevent longevity, wouldn’t it be great to create a home made water purifier that could make our tap water healthier?

While it might seem economical to find a way to remove contaminants from water in the home on your own, you may be surprised to know that there really isn’t a way to construct one that meets all the criteria of eliminating harmful toxins from the faucet’s tap water. Unfortunately, the sophisticated amount of technology it would take to make the perfect prototype would be both difficult and expensive.

It is basically a fact that in the industrialized world, that all humans are literally exposed to hundreds of harmful chemicals on a daily basis. It’s simply shocking if you think about it. With this in mind, instead of creating a substandard home made water purifier it would be wise to look into an economical appliance that could meet all the needs of human and home.

So what would you look into when searching for one? Well, the most important thing in choosing the right product for your body would be a unit that purifies the water yet leaves vital traces of minerals in it. Some of these include calcium, magnesium and potassium. It is a fact that if you search anywhere on Earth for naturally occurring de-mineralized water you just will not find it. So it should not be surprising that scientific research shows that there are dangers in consuming de-mineralized water over an extended period of time.

Dr. Zolton Rona, author of The Joy of Health, stated that “the longer one consumes distilled (de-mineralized) water, the more likely the development of mineral deficiencies and an acid state.” And a World Health Organization research study went on to find that “drinking water should contain minimum levels of certain essential minerals.” Without them, water becomes more hydrogenised creating acid and a lower pH level. This forces the body to absorb minerals from our bones and teeth to compensate and neutralize this acid. Also, there is increased risk of cancer when body fluids convert from alkaline to acid as more free radicals are produced.

Obviously, filtration must also be able to remove all contaminants from the taps, showers, etc. However, not all systems are the same. It’s really important when selecting, that you choose one that utilizes multi-stage filtration. This is truly critical if you are looking to prevent ingestion of toxins such as VOCs (volatile organic chemicals) like pesticides/herbicides, chlorine and lead. Unfortunately, this is a process not achieved by other systems such as Reverse Osmosis, Point-of-Use Distillation, Carbon and Carafe-Style filters.

So, now that you know this, instead of spending your valuable time, money and energy on creating a home made water purifier it would be wise to spend quality time looking into an economical product on the market that meets all the criteria to make the water in your home the safest possible.
