Why not tap water?
Water that comes out of the faucet generally is obtained either from surface water that has run off from ponds, creeks, streams, rivers and lakes and is collected in reservoirs. The other source is ground water (most, if not all of our local drinking water) and is extracted by wells. Most people would think that ground water has less chance of being contaminated and would taste good. Unfortunately in most cases that does not prove to be true. Remember most of the areas we live and work have been farms, dairies, ranches and mines, for years. All the fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, animal waste and more, leach into ground water through the soil. Many of these organic and inorganic substances have been linked to cancer and other disorders of the body.
Don't panic, the chances of water being so bad that it makes you sick immediately is rare, but can happen, especially with private wells that aren't tested regularly. We should be more concerned about the contaminants that slowly and quietly attack our organs and tax our immune system.
Superior Quality Drinking Water...
...With a Fresh, Clean, Great Taste
Let's take a deeper look at the benefits of water. A persons body is composed of about 70 % water (+ -) and varies from person to person and age. The body's water supply is responsible for nearly every bodily process. This includes digestion, absorption, circulation, and elimination. Water is also the primary transporter of nutrients throughout the body and is needed for all building functions in our bodies. Water helps maintain normal body temperature and is essential for carrying waste material out of the body. This means replacing the water we loose through sweating and elimination is very important.

A drop in the body's water content causes a decline in blood volume. This lowering of blood volume triggers the brain's thirst center for water. This causes a rise in the concentration of sodium in the blood that intern triggers a sensation of thirst. Often we consume only enough liquid to quench our immediate thirst, but not enough to cover all of our water loss. As a result, our bodies become dehydrated. Quality water is beneficial for virtually all disorders. Bowel and bladder problems as well as headaches can be reduced by drinking water. If not enough water is consumed, toxins can build up causing headaches and an overall sluggish low energy feeling.
And many other ailments and dis-orders of the body.
The cautions about tap water are numerous and the list long. Remember water doesn't have to taste or smell bad to contain substances our bodies can not use. The bottom line is, water is too important for our over all health to be shy on consummation due to bad smell, bad taste and concern of contaminants. All the concerns about drinking water can be remedied.
Why do we want water to taste great? Because if it taste great, folks will drink it, and that's important for their overall health. Human beings can survive without food for thirty or more days. But without water, life would end in three to five days.
