In fact, more than 250 major cities around the country have water that exceeds EPA’s legal standards for lead content.

But lead is not the only culprit. There are more sinister contaminants in the water that enters our homes. Chlorine, for example, is used to purify the water but in itself is a poison. According to the US Council of Environmental Quality, there is a 93% chance for people who drink chlorinated water to have cancer than those who do not. Chloramine, a derivative of chlorine is known to trigger asthma. The Ralph Nader Research Group even contends that our drinking water is contaminated by more than 2,100 toxic chemicals and any one of them can actually cause cancer. And according to the National Academy of Sciences, there are residues of 39 pesticides that have been detected in the groundwater of at least 34 states. Some of them are known to cause gastrointestinal disorders and other chronic diseases. These unfortunate water-related illnesses can actually be prevented.

Now, should we feel threatened with dreaded diseases even in our own homes? Indeed the threat is real, and we may not even realize it until it’s too late. Fortunately however, Aquasana has come up with a whole house water filtration system that can actually protect us from this hidden but now well known threat. A water filter for the entire house will ensure that not only is our drinking water healthy but even our shower water as well. If you thought that drinking water contaminated by chemicals is bad, then get ready for this: more of those chemicals in the shower water are absorbed through the skin and by inhalation as the water turn to steam. The worst news – the amount of chemicals that enter our body this way is two times greater than the amount we ingest when we drink contaminated water.
