Our intention is to create a calm informed awareness rather than fear. We do this through education as to what is in our tap water and what effects this has on our health, our home and the environment. Not only are we passionate about supplying water at its optimum but we are passionate about educating the community about their health.
In a modern age of band aide solutions we are often left fighting the affects of chemicals with even more chemicals as we treat the symptom without having ever looked for the cause. We have chemicals in all of our consumables these days from our cleaning and bathroom products, the food we feed our children, and maybe you had never realised before but yep even in our water.
Chlorine is probably the largest contributor to the negative health affects and this is especially true in infants and young children. Chlorine is added to our water supply and the reason its added is to kill waterborne bacteria and pathogens. As the water that stored in the pipework increases due to development and urban expansion the need to dose with chlorine increases also and this is potentially why you may be able to smell it present in your water at times.
The unfortunate part however is that Chlorine kills bacteria indiscriminately meaning that it also kills the good bacteria that lives in our gut and on our skin. this bacteria is essential for our health and a major contributor of our overall immunity. (if you haven't already research into "the gut brain" and have a look at the link between good gut health and mental health its super interesting). All of this becomes increasingly important for younger children who are trying to develop a diverse gut and skin microbiome. This microbiome acts as their first line of defense against infection and it's amplified even more so after recent government sanitation requirements.
Chlorine is just one of the many contaminants found in mains supplied tap water today and these contaminants can affect such simple issues such as eczema, bronchitis and even reflux, many of the disinfection by-products have been listed by the world health organisation (WHO) as carcinogens (cancer causing substances). If you have the option to avoid drinking tap water you should even if you use a bench top filter or an under-sink filter but its also important to note and be aware that a lot of chemical absorption occurs from the skin.
We absolutely love what we do because we know that every house we visit we leave knowing the family in that home has just up leveled their health and we got to be apart of it!
Below are just a few of the many benefits of water filtration:
1) Better tasting and better smelling drinking water
2) Removal of chlorine, chemicals, pesticides, heavy metals, and bacterial contaminants from the water and therefor from your body.
3) Provides healthy water far cheaper than bottled water and reduces wastage
4) Can reduce the risk of certain cancers such as bowel cancer
5) Protects the body from disease and leads to overall greater health and energy
6) Allows the promotion of good skin and gut bacteria
