Common water contaminants that affect the quality of our water consist of:

• Chlorine has been linked to a wide range of serious illnesses. You will absorb and inhale more chlorine in a 10 minute shower than by drinking 8 glasses of the same water.
• Girardia is a chlorine resistant protozoan that can cause severe gastrointestinal illness
• Cyst is a parasite which causes mild gastrointestinal illness
• Lead – leaches into pipe systems from lead solder that was largely employed in copper pipes up to 1987 - it delays development in children and can result in kidney and blood pressure problems for adults
• VOCs are chemical contaminants that are dissolved in water such as insecticides and herbicides

Bottled Water Information

The National Resource Defense Council tested more than 1000 samples of 103 brands of bottled water
and found that an estimated 25% of the bottled water is really just tap water in a bottle – sometimes treated,
sometimes not.

Bottled water, because it is defined as "food" under federal regulations, is under the authority of the FDA while the EPA – under much stricter standards – regulates tap water. While municipal water systems must test their water several times a day, bottled water companies are required to test for these microbes only once a week.

Even under the more lax standards of the FDA, bottled water companies do not always comply with
standardized contaminant levels. Alarmingly, a study also found that 18 of the 103 bottled water
brands tested contained, in at least one sample, more bacteria than allowed in microbiological-purity
guidelines.

In conclusion, there is absolutely no gaurantee that bottled water is safer than tap water; in fact, a number of
studies have demonstrated that bottled water is less safe than tap water.
