There is a huge push on by various companies to sell you water filters for your home.
These companies will do anything to convince you to buy these items.
One of the biggest propaganda items produced by these unethical marketers is to have you question the quality of your municipal tap water.
The marketing put forth by these companies is such that they'll have you convinced municipal tap water is bad for you.
They want you to think it will give you cancer, it will make you sick, and it's full of things that simply aren't there.
They love to throw around words such as THM, VOC, SOC, and many more that not only does the average consumer not properly understand, neither do they.
If you are going to buy one of these filters, here is the question that you MUST ask yourself before you do.
Municipally treated tap water is treated in a ten million dollar water plant.
It is pumped into a distribution system worth tens of millions of dollars.
The people that have designed the water plant and the distribution system are professionals working full time in the industry.
They understand the chemistry and mechanics behind everything.
Their job is to make sure that you get clean, safe drinking water, and that is all they do.
So is this tap water really unsafe, and will a twenty dollar filter really fix everything? Ask yourself this question every time you see a commercial for a new filter or somebody at a store tries to tell you your municipal tap water is going to kill you.
The fact of the matter is that these filters do nothing except improve the aesthetic quality of water that is safe for you to drink.
So next time you enjoy a glass of water, remember: People work hard to make that water safe for you, and others work hard to sell you things you don't actually need.
