Five Sources of Water - Which One is Best for You?

1. Tap Water – Easy, quick, cheap and convenient.  If you are using a Total Water Cleaner in your home congratulations, you are getting the best water available!
   If not, find out how many pollutants are in your tap water, and what the associated health risks are. For more information on our website - City Water Tests
2. Bottled Water – Did you know that 40% of bottled water is actually TAP WATER? With or without added filtration – you're paying through the nose for it. Worse, an independent test by the Environmental Working Group found arsenic, DPBs and 36 other harmful pollutants hiding in bottled water. Plastic bottles are a less than optimal idea too. They can contain the potentially hazardous chemical BPA.  Plus plastic water bottles have a devastating environmental impact.
3. Distilled Water – Long-term use can invite health problems, because its minerals are evaporated out. So to try to maintain mineral balance, it sucks minerals out of your body.
   What's worse, the contaminants in the water are more concentrated in the finished distilled water. 
4. Alkaline Water – Although there is some controversy on this, most experts believe that this water should be used for short-term detoxification only (1-2 weeks max). Additionally the alkalinization process does NOT filter the water so you need to carefully evaluate the water filter for the specific alkaline water unit it's using.
5. Vitamin Waters – Don't be fooled… Vitamin waters contain high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), artificial colors, additives, preservatives, and caffeine. Even worse… they use distilled water to produce these products – which as you just read, is one of the worst types of water you can consume.
