Pure water is the essence of life itself. Nothing is more important to our health than crystal clear drinking water, clean air, and nourishing food.

Unfortunately, all sources of drinking water, including municipal water systems, wells, lakes, rivers, and even glaciers, contain some level of contamination.

Contaminants range from naturally-occurring minerals to made-made chemicals and by-products, to biological agents such as bacteria, viruses, and cysts.

While most contaminants are found at levels low enough not to cause immediate severe health consequences, it is well documented in scientific journals that even low-level exposure to many common contaminants can cause severe illness including liver damage, cancer, and other serious ailments.
