Water is vital for our survival. We depend upon it not only for our health, but for our pleasure in life, the joy of a summer swim, the peace of a soak in the tub after a long day. And of course, a tall glass of water refreshes us any time of the day.
You might be tempted to think that the only water that matters when it comes to your health is the water you drink. The truth is, the water that is absorbed through your skin has a much greater impact on you than you might believe. Having a water filter system installed in your home will help you achieve maximum health benefits for the greatest overall cost effectiveness. And by having the water coming into your home filtered and pure, you will eliminate your need to purchase plastic bottled water for drinking.
Isn’t it amazing how many people make plastic bottled water their primary source of drinking water? I have to admit that up until recently, I was one of them. But these bottles were not intended for primary drinking purposes. They were actually designed for occasional use, such as drinking a soda pop every once in a while. Not only have these plastic water bottles become a major waste issue, but the plastic off-gases and becomes toxic for your body.
As a person who spends a lot of time on the road, I’ve found a solution that works for me. I simply put my drinking water into glass water bottles that I can wash and refill and bring them with me. Yes, I have to take a little care not to allow them to bang around while on the job, but the benefits far outweigh the slightly extra attention needed.
There are various types of water filter systems available. First, test your water to see what issues you have. I was surprised to discover the quality of my water straight out of the tap was so much better than I had ever imagined. I felt silly when I thought of all bottled water I had bought because I had assumed my tap water was poor quality when in fact I had never taken the time to test it.
Once you complete your tests, you can decide which filter system is best for you. The beauty of a whole house system is that the water you bathe in will be pure and toxin free. And as you know, your skin is a breathing organ, so you want to make sure that what you put in contact with it is safe and healthy.
Remember, a healthy home is a happy home, so if you are staging your home to support you in your life, remember the basics. Water that is pure and healthful is vital a healthy home and environment.

Personally, I use a filtered 7 litre water cooler jug that is supplied with water though my own taps which fill up my resuable 22 ounce portable drinking bottles. People have no idea how much money this saves.
Enough ranting from me… next!
What water should we drink? That is the quesiton right now. I just red an article by “Water wars: Mineral vs tap
I did an intense research into this subject. Because I had to. I was allergic nearly against everything.
My outcome: It is very important what water we drink and in what water we shower.
My outcome: tap water because it is already in every house or office. But it needs to get enhanced to a real good quality. The quality is not good enough for it to be a real healthy water. I am German and I live in the UK. Germany had addressed this subject several years ago. They have real good solutions. Solutions that changes tap water in a mountain spring water as it was 50 years ago, before pollution hit the planet
I highly recommend a Reverse Osmosis (RO) system for your drinking water (if you can’t afford the whole house system). This way, you don’t ever have to buy bottled water - it’s essentially bottled water quality from your tap - but without the plastic.
In my opinion EcoWater has the most efficient and affordable RO unit.
