Most of us rarely know the importance of drinking filtered water. Drinking filtered water is as important as drinking clean water. What is clean water? How do we know the water we drink is clean?

Since we do not know the source of our tap water, we do not realize the importance of filtering the water.  We think the water is completely cleaned before it comes to the tap. Even though it is safe to drink but tap water can still be contaminated by the time it reaches the tap at our homes by many factors. According to Health Canada, some of the main factors that contaminate the water before it reaches our tap water are microbiological pathogens, chemicals or products and materials that come into contact with water.  As a result, we cannot or should not rely on water treatment facilities to protect us from these harmful pathogens or chemicals reaching our water.  But, we need to protect ourselves by reaching out for other resources that are available, such as drinking water filters, which can be used at each house.

Installing filters can start at the kitchen or for the whole house.  If the filter is installed at the kitchen, water can be used for drinking, cooking and making juices for children or preparing formula for baby.  This way, we can make sure water is once again filtered for harmful substances and cleaned just before it goes into our body.  Since, contaminated water mainly affects infants or children, elderly and people with weak immune system, it is best to have a water filters at home.
