We could search further for good water, but these are the most common places that you will find good water. Yet it is obvious that every method falls short of delivering the quality water that we desire. No one technology does it all. However -
Contaminants that can be found in drinking water can be divided into three categories. Especially chemical and microbiological contaminants can pose health risks to your family.
For example, Cryptosporidium is a protozoa sometimes found in drinking water. It is hard to kill with the chlorine used by municipal treatment centers. Several epidemics involving Chryptosporidium have occurred in major urban areas of the United States in recent years,resulting in serious illness and even death.
Chlorine and chloramine are commonly added to most municipal water supplies to destroy harmful bacteria, like e-coli. These additives can make water taste bad and smell bad. Chlorine and chloramine can also react with naturally occuring organic materials in water, forming by-products such as THMs (trihalomethanes). One THM, called chloroform, is associated with increased risk of cancer.
Most water treatment facilities produce good water. If you test your water at its source, it will likely contain very few contaminants or particulates. Between the treatment facility and you, your water goes on a journey and all sorts of things can happen. Some ways your water can be contaminated include: Lead from solder on the pipes through which the water passes. Microbiological growth inside the pipeline or inside the tank where your water is stored. (Rooftop tank or water tower, for example.) Particulates from corrosion and rusting inside pipelines and holding tanks. Vinyl chloride from PVC pipes. Run-off from industry and agriculture (pesticides) into surface water or leeching into underground water supply (wells).

One THM, called chloroform, is associated with increased risk of cancer.
Water contamination can pose serious health threats Lead can accumulate in the body and result in anemia and low birth weight in children. It may delay mental and physical development abilities, resulting in permanently lower IQ. In adults, lead can lead to increased blood pressure Mercury may cause kidney damage Radon may increase the risk of stomach cancer. EPA estimates that 2%-10% of all bladder cancer in the U.S. may be due contaminants in drinking water. These are just a few of the potential health effects of contaminated water.
There is a solution. Actually, it is a revolution. A revolution in water purification. The first water purification system to combine technologies; carbon block and UV light. A system that reduces more potential health-effect contaminants than any other in-home filter. Introducing eSpring.
The carbon block filter is combined with the UV light. UV light technology does what carbon alone cannot do. It destroys microorganisms. The UV bulb puts out up to 80 millijoules of UV light, enough to destroy 99.99% of waterborne disease-causing bacteria and viruses. State-of-the-art electronics allow the UV lamp to operate only when treated water is flowing.

Water helps maintain blood volume, which maintains your energy. (A 4% loss in blood volume reduces body's capacity to perform functions by 1/3.) Proper hydration improves your concentration and reaction time, especially during exercise. Water increases the number of calories you burn during regular daily activities. Water dilutes and disperses medicine, allowing it to act more quickly and effectivelyâand can help to reduce the stomach distress concentrated medicines can cause. Studies quoted by the American Dietetic Association show links between high water consumption and reduced risk of everything from colds to kidney stones to obesity and cancers of the breast, colon and urinary tract.
