Bottled Water is Dead Water
Here in my blog, I have posted many reasons why tap water is far superior to bottled water. This time I want to write about a reality that will also maybe hurt my own water filtration business.
If you read the small print on most bottled water, it will tell you it was processed using reverse osmosis, such as our model P3500ro pictured here. The reason the bottle water suppliers use reverse osmosis, is that the source of their water, for the most part, is not from the pristine mountain springs picture on the bottle, but a tap somewhere of questionable potability.
The problem with reverse osmosis, as I have shared with many of my own customers over the years is that while providing "pure water", the systems also remove things from water we need to drink.
Sang Whang, in his book "Reverse Aging" said, "In an attempt to get 'pure' water, some people promote distillers and reverse osmosis filters. While these devices work well, they take everything out of the water. Unfortunately, this "pure" water is not healthy. It's dead water. Fish cannot live in it. If ingested for long periods of time, it can leach out valuable body minerals, such as potassium, magnesium, sodium and calcium. One can take mineral supplements to replace them; however, it's not easy to replace the minerals in our body in the same form that we lost them in."
So before depending on bottle water to sustain you, it would be wise to consider where it came from and how it was processed.
