The benefits of a Water Filter
Water makes up about about 65% of our bodies and is essential for our bodies to function properly. Water helps nutrient absorption and the removal of wastes. Adults should drink a minimum of 6 glasses of pure water a day to prevent dehydration and help the kidney’s to flush the body waste from the system, more if the weather is particularly hot, if you are perspiring a lot and if you are pregnant.
However, the water that comes from our taps can be polluted with contaminants such as lead, dirt, rust, hydrocarbons, algae, agricultural pesticides and industrial wastes. Then of course you have the chemicals added by water authorities such as chlorine, aluminium, fluoride and copper and you have a foul smelling and foul tasting toxic cocktail. Using a Southern Cross Ceramic water filter will help you to remove those contaminants.
Of course, if you are drinking water from a tank the quality of the water may be worse. Birds, frogs, rodents, reptiles and insects can all get into rainwater tanks and their droppings can pollute the water. Debris such as dust, leaves and twigs, ash, residues from roofing products, woodfire particles and agricultural aerial spraying can also find its way into your tank water.
If your water supply comes from dams, springs, streams or underground bores you have the added concern of faecal contaminants as well. The need for effective purification of drinking water has never been greater.
The Southern Cross Pottery Water Filter system together with their exclusive carbon activated ceramic filter are very efficient at removing impurities from the water, leaving the water fresh, clean and healthy.
