Please remember that water is a precious resource and that there’s only a finite amount available. No new water is ever made. Every molecule is recycled by nature and humans.

Isreal says “Shalom” to flouride in their drinking water.
#water #drinking water #fluoride
“German, who previously as mayor of Herzliya opposed “forcing” residents to take the mineral with every drop they drink, said there were more effective and safer ways to protect children’s teeth – such as fluoride pills, toothpastes and education.”
From: http://www.jpost.com/Health/Article.aspx?id=309593
Fluoride has come under attention because its shown to be ineffective when ingested says new research. Fluoride *is* effective when applied only topically, such as in toothpaste. But fluoride in the body is toxic to the nervous system.
If you’re concerned about fluoride in the water, only Reverse Osmosis water filtration can remove fluoride. Generic carbon filters like that in a Brita or Pur are unable to remove fluoride.

Crestwood, IL water case on the way to closure.
#TCE #Water
Closure is legally close for the residents in Crestwood, IL. The town’s administration was caught after decades of pumping tainted water to residents. Crestwood had their ground water polluted with a chemical called Vinyl Chloride. The EPA stepped in and said that the well should never be used again. Instead Crestwood started the get their drinking water from Lake Michigan. However the reopened the well and blended 20% of the tainted well water with the Lake Michigan water. Vinyl Chloride is a known carcinogen. Many Crestwood residents became ill from this toxic chemical.
If Vinyl Chloride is a concern, we can test for it. If you want to be safe, use Reverse Osmosis to filter your drinking water.
Be well,

World Water Day!
Quick facts
Average American uses 80-100 gallon of water per day.
Bottles water is mostly made from tap water.
One leak, one drip per second can waste 30,000 gallons of water per year.
Q: The number one question we get here at Angel Water is, “Why has my water bill increased dramatically?”
A: Most consumers assume there’s a problem with their water treatment equipment. However 90% of the leaks we find are from toilets. Inside the toilet it’s very easy for a water leak to go unnoticed. Water can leak from two places in a toilet. First, a toilet can leak from inside the water reservoir at the overfill tube. Second it can leak from the flapper at the base of the water reservoir. A single leaky toilet can waste 200-500 gallons of water a day. That’s a tremendous amount of wasted water. While water treatment equipment, like a water softener, only uses 35-50 gallons of water every two to three days to backwash.

The state of Chromium-6, Part 2
This is a continuation of my first blog post regarding Chromium-6.
“MILES O’BRIEN: Wise researcher Amie Holmes showed me what scientists can say for certain about the link between chromium 6 and cancer. These are slides of human lung cells in the midst of replicating, a process called mitosis.
In normal cells, there are two centrosomes, the yellowish-white dots. They search and capture 46 chromosomes each, then pull apart, making an identical daughter cell.”

The state of Chromium-6
From: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/science/jan-june13/hinkley_03-13.html
This is an excellent article about the state of Chromium-6 in water supplies.
How does your city rank on toxic chromium-6?
Just a reminder. Please test your water!
To remove Chromium-6 from water, we recommend water testing and a reverse osmosis drinking water filter. Cheap carbon filters, like those in a refrigerator, sink filter or pitcher arn’t rated by the WQA (Water Quality Association) to remove this contaminant.

A guide to BPA
#bpa #health #ewg
Great information from the Environmental Working Group!
While BPA has been banned from bottled water in 2008. It still rears its ugly head 5 years later because its shown up in paper receipts and is still in canned food containers!

Dry cleaning chemical PCE is contaminating water supplies.
#water #drinkingwater #wellwater
The toxic dry cleaning chemical PCE has spread to a few wells in North Salt Lake. Perchloroethylene (PCE) or PERC is similar to Tetrachloroethylene (TCE)
What is PCE?
Tetrachloroethylene, often called PCE or PERC, is a solvent commonly used by dry cleaners, military installations and auto shops. It is colorless and evaporates easily. People exposed over long periods of time are thought to be at higher risk of cancer and of liver and kidney problems. You can be exposed by breathing it, drinking it or absorbing it through the skin.
The only effective way to remove PCE from ground water is to filter it through an activated carbon filter or reverse osmosis drinking water filter.
