The EPA allows more fluoride in water than is considered safe by health experts Recent research on causes of heart disease has revealed a link between fluoride and coronary artery disease. The study, referred to as: Association of vascular fluoride uptake with vascular calcification and coronary artery disease. Researchers examined the arteries of 61 people for signs of calcification – artery hardening due to calcium, and fluoride absorption. Connection between fluoride and heart disease described as “significant” Fluoride was detected in the vascular walls (veins) of 96% of study participants, and calcification was observed in the vascular... read more >>

A Fracked Up Situation If you live near a fracking well, chances are good that your water is fracked If you live near a site where hydraulic fracturing is being used to extract natural gas, your drinking water is likely contaminated with hundreds of chemicals, all of them toxic. When a well is fracked, millions of gallons of fresh water is mixed with a toxic stew of chemicals. The now-toxic water is forced deep underground at high pressure, where it shatters a type of rock formation known as shale. Gas trapped underground can then be captured.           Unfortunately, the contaminated water used for fracking doesn’t... read more >>

All three forms of chloramines are in your water - are you protected? Chloramine has been replacing chlorine in some municipal water treatment systems due to concerns about chlorine’s health effects. The problem is, chloramine seems to have harmful health effects that are similar to chlorine. What are chloramines? Water utilities use a form of chloramine that is composed of one part chlorine, to one part ammonia. That form of chloramine is referred to as monochloramine. The problem is, monochloramine changes form readily into other, more harmful forms of chloramine There are three different forms of chloramine: monochloramine (NH2Cl), dichloramine... read more >>

Ionized water is: Water, Minerals, and Energy, Combined Thanks to the work of retired chemist Stephen Lower, we are constantly asked “is the term ‘ionized water’ meaningless to chemists?” The short answer to that question is: yes and no. Ionized Mineral Water – Science, not Snake Oil The term ‘ionized water’ is actually a misnomer – an inaccurate name – for ionized mineral water. The emphasis here is on mineral, because without minerals, water can’t be ionized! Pure water has no minerals in it, and does not exist in nature. You can’t get pure water from your tap, no matter how good your water quality is. The water you get... read more >>

How contaminated drinking water can infect you Massive flooding caused by huge storms across the US has resulted in widespread bacterial contamination of public drinking water supplies. Recently, a lethal strain of bacteria has begun showing up in water supplies that is of special concern: Naegleria Fowleri, better known as a Brain-Eating Amoeba. This bacterium causes a horrible, crippling disease for which there is no known cure. Recently, three people have died from Brain-Eating Bacteria infections. Continued contamination of public drinking water supplies from flooding is likely to cause that number to rise. States Where Brain-Eating Amoeba... read more >>

Why healthy water is alkaline water Pure water has a pH of about 7, but pure water isn’t found in nature, and actually isn’t safe to drink. The water you normally drink has minerals dissolved in it, and those minerals largely determine the pH level of the water. Alkaline water will have higher concentrations of beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium. Water with an acidic pH will have higher concentrations of harmful minerals like lead and mercury. Most tap water has close to a neutral pH, so it is likely to be a mixture of harmful and beneficial minerals.   Is the water YOU are drinking a healthy pH? Hair analysis reveals which... read more >>

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is a measurement of everything in your water – good and bad. The amount of TDS in water affects its taste, too little TDS (soft water) , and water tastes flat and insipid. This is why many people find drinking pure water (such as distilled) to be unpleasant. Most water that has high levels of TDS will contain high amounts of calcium and magnesium. When those minerals are present, high levels of TDS in drinking water will cause an unpleasant aftertaste. When water has high levels of calcium and magnesium,  it is called hard water; water with low levels of calcium and magnesium is called soft water. ... read more >>

Whole Home Filtration can save Thousands Dolphin Whole Home Filtration, the system that pays for itself! Did you know that in addition to protecting your health, a whole home filtration system also saves you money! There are direct savings from not having to buy bottled water; an average family of four spends about $500 per year on bottled water. There are indirect savings as well, because whole home filtration prevents expensive hard water damage to plumbing and appliances. Treating hard water saves energy too, because hot water heaters use more energy when they become clogged with hard water deposits. Preventing hard water damage saves on average... read more >>
