What’s in Your Tap Water and How Aquakleen Can Help

Did you know that unsafe chemicals can be found in your tap water? According to the Environmental Protection Agency, harmful toxins are being consumed by millions of Americans on a regular basis. Some of these toxins include: chlorine, pesticides, lead, mercury, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), arsenic, and other substances. Drinking these contaminants can lead to a series of medical issues and directly put you and your family’s health at risk. A study done by Harvard University’s School of Public Health shows that several states, such as California, Florida, New York, and Alabama, have higher than recommended levels of  PFAS chemicals, which stands for perfluoroalkyl, in their public drinking water. PFASs have been linked to cancer and other serious medical conditions. Knowing this, people need to educate themselves and seriously rethink the way that they consume and use this vital liquid.   

To say tap water is a part of our lives is an understatement. We use it to bathe, to brush our teeth, wash our hands, to clean the dishes, and rinse our produce. Wouldn’t you want peace of mind every time you go to the sink or turn on a faucet that the water is safe? Not to mention, our pets are also dependent on tap water. We clean them with it and give it to them to drink. Water is a life source which is why it is so important that it be clean and free of impurities. We cannot live without it! Aquakleen’s Water Refinement Systems give us the ability to detoxify our water. The definition of refinement is “the process of removing impurities or unwanted elements from a substance” and “the improvement or clarification of something by the making of small changes.” This is exactly what Aquakleen Systems do. By incorporating small changes into our lives with the use of Aquakleen products, we can rest assure that we will reap big benefits like a healthier family and way of life.

Another potentially unsafe way that we consume water everyday is from plastic water bottles. You look around you and just about everyone is drinking from a store-bought plastic bottle. We are a society that has become accustomed to it. They are in our cars when we drive, on our desks at work, and we bring them with us to the gym. Plastic water bottles are everywhere, but are they really that much safer for us than drinking tap? Studies have shown that the answer is no. The reason being is that they contain a chemical called BPA, which stands for bisphenol-A. This chemical has been used for years in the manufacturing and production of plastic products, including water bottles and food storage containers. As it has been stated in numerous news programs, magazine and newspaper articles, and online medical studies, BPA can cause negative health effects just like the chemicals found in tap water. Basically, you drink from plastic bottles that are not BPA-free at your own risk. According to a Mayo Clinic article entitled “What is BPA, and What Are the Concerns about BPA?” written by Brent A. Bauer, M.D., “Some research has shown that BPA can seep into food or beverages from containers that are made with BPA. Exposure to BPA is a concern because of possible health effects of BPA on the brain, behavior and prostate gland of fetuses, infants and children. Additional research suggests a possible link between BPA and increased blood pressure.” Once again, without proper education, millions of Americans are putting themselves at risk by exposure to yet another harmful chemical in our drinking water.

With all of the research we now have on the contaminated water that is in our homes, the value and importance of having a water cleaning system is crucial to the health of our families and pets. Aquakleen understands this and has developed a line of water refining products to combat the problem, starting with the Aquakleen Multi-Stage Refiners. These refiners, named the Aquapro 5000 SXT, Aquapro + 5000 SXT, and AquaClear 5000 SXT, have a built-in, state-of-the-art water filtration system that removes the pollutants in tap water and produces a purer, cleaner, better-tasting water. Not only do the Aquakleen Multi-Stage Refiners refine water for drinking, but they are also a solution for smoother skin, brighter laundry, longer lasting appliances, and overall safer home due to the exclusive Aquakleen refining process. For example, the Aquakleen Aquapro + 5000 SXT incorporates 5 stages of refinement, which are: Stage 1 – removes objectionable tastes and odors, Step 2 – softens, Step 3 – neutralizes, Step 4 – filters, Step 5 – clarifies. As a result, the harmful chemicals that were once present and caused the break-down and corrosion in pipes and faucets are now gone. Having an Aquakleen Refiner in the home is the answer to safer drinking water.

In addition, Aquakleen has created another breakthrough drinking water solution using reverse osmosis in a compact appliance that fits easily under a kitchen sink. The Aquakleen Aquatap SQC 5000 Drinking Water System transforms impurity laced tap water into clean, particle-free water that you can feel confident drinking. The Aquakleen Aquatap goes a step beyond other water filter systems in that it cleans tap water at the molecular level. This guarantees that not only is the water refined and safer to drink through the specialized Aquakleen Aquatap System process, but it completely removes the harmful chemicals and toxins we now know lurk in our home’s tap water. This process is also what major bottled water companies use to clean their drinking water before it ever reaches the consumers. The benefits that all of the Aquakleen Water Refinement Systems products provide make choosing this system so easy. Aquakleen understands that a healthy lifestyle starts at home.
