    Water is essential for life and good health. It helps digest and absorb food, maintains muscle tone, transports nutrients and oxygen to cells, removes waste, and regulates body temperature. Health officials recommend drinking at least 8 glasses of clean water per day. Water contains no calories and may aid weight loss by suppressing appetite and helping the body metabolize fat. While most of Earth is covered in water, only 1% is available for drinking. Society contaminates this precious resource. Water treatment is necessary at the point of use to remove contaminants and produce clean, refreshing water.

    Pure water is an odorless, tasteless, clear liquid. Water is one of nature's most important
    gifts to mankind. Essential to life, a person's survival depends on drinking water. Water is one of
    the most essential elements to good health because it is necessary for the digestion and
    absorption of food, helps maintain proper muscle tone, supplies oxygen and nutrients to the cells,
    rids the body of wastes and serves as a natural air conditioning system. Health officials
    emphasise the importance of drinking at least eight glasses of clean water each and every day to
    maintain good health.

    Since water contains no calories and can serve as an appetite suppressant and helps the
    body metabolize stored fat, it may possibly be one of the most significant factors in losing
    weight. In his book, titled "The Snowbird Diet" Dr. Donald Robertson says the body will not
    function properly without enough water and discusses the importance of drinking plenty of water
    for permanent weight loss: "Drinking enough water is the best treatment for fluid retention; the
    overweight person needs more water than the thin one; water helps to maintain proper muscle
    tone; water can help relieve constipation; drinking water is essential to weight loss."

    Water is a key component in determining the quality of our lives. Today, people are
    concerned about the quality of the water they drink. Although water covers more than 70% of the
    Earth, only 1% of the Earth's water is available as a source of drinking. Yet, our society
    continues to contaminate this precious resource. Water is known as a natural solvent. Before it
    reaches the consumer's tap, it comes into contact with many different substances, including
    organic and inorganic matter, chemicals, and other contaminants. Many public water systems
    treat water with chlorine to destroy disease-producing contaminants that may be present in the
    water. Although disinfection is an important step in the treatment of potable water, the taste and
    odor of chlorine is objectionable. And, the disinfectants that are used to prevent disease, can
    create byproducts which may pose significant health risks.

    Today, drinking water treatment at the point-of-use is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity!


    Consumers are taking matters into their own hands and are now determining the quality of the
    water they and their families will drink by installing a drinking water system that will give them
    clean, refreshing, and healthier water.
