Home sweet home. Nothing can make you feel more secure than closing the door. Is your home killing you or just a distraction?
Your perimeter security alarm system protects you; your carbon monoxide monitors the air; smoke detectors warn you of signs of fire. What about your water? Could the insiders have access to your home and take over its safety?
Are you an intruder
You should get rid of any salt-based water softers in your home.
Water softeners add sodium to your water. Studies have repeatedly shown that excess sodium can cause health problems such as weight gain and hypertension. According to the American Heart Association, salt-softened water can increase sodium levels. Like nicotine patches, sodium can be easily absorbed through skin. This makes it a concern when bathing and drinking.
Chlorine is another concern. Chlorine is another concern. Water softeners don’t filter out chlorine or its byproducts. To treat water for bacteria or other threats, chlorine is used by municipalities. Although chlorine is effective at treating bacteria and other threats, it can cause serious health problems. It can cause serious irritation of the nose and throat. Think about your eyes getting watery after swimming in the pool. It is also known to cause dry hair and skin. According to federal regulations, drinking water can be treated with more chlorine than is recommended for swimming pools.
LifeSource Water Systems, an eco-friendly company, emphasizes the importance to provide great tasting water for your family. It does this without adding any chemicals or salt to your water supply. Water softeners can also be harmful to the environment. Salt softeners are bad for the environment because they waste water and create a salty brine which cannot be recycled.
A whole-house water system can be a great option if you have concerns about your family’s safety. Each faucet and every shower in your house can provide you with fresh, healthy water.
