Chlorine removal water filters: stay healthy drinking tap water

Liberty River — Fri, 21 Jun 2019 00:04:02 +0000

In today’s modern society, almost ninety percent of Australian people live in urban areas. This means that most of us are drinking town water that’s laced with chlorine. Again, due to our fast paced city lifestyles, we often don’t have time to stop and think about what we are putting in our bodies; and drinking from the tap is just too convenient! But just because something is easy doesn’t mean you should continue to do it, especially when it may be impairing your wellbeing. Biopure, Water for Life are passionate about bringing healthy, chlorine removal water filter systems to you in an affordable and convenient manner.

What is chlorine?

Chlorine is element number 17 on the periodic table and it has many uses, from disinfecting Olympic swimming pools to sterilizing Woolloomooloo’s drinking water. Chlorine is also used in manufacturing, to produce lighter parts and components for vehicles, as well as to manufacture medicines, plastics, and textiles. So yes, this chemical element does have many great, convenient, and positive applications, but some research suggests that t’s not always good news when it comes to chlorine and its interaction with human health.

Why is chlorine in tap water?

Chlorine was first ingeniously implemented into water supplies in the late 1800s in Britain. Chlorine is used to keep human water supplies clean. This powerful chemical, disinfects water and kills germs and pathogens that hide surreptitiously in our water. The introduction of chlorine to human water supplies instantly led to an extensive reduction in the spread of disease and other water borne ailments. It is a relatively cheap chemical too. This is why this interesting little chemical is so prevalent in all water supplies throughout the developed world.

Effects of chlorine on the human body

Although chlorine is a super effective and relatively cheap disinfectant and steriliser, it is not necessarily safe for long term human consumption. Some research out of the United States suggests that the long term consumption of chlorinated water leads to a much higher risk of cancer compared to those who don’t drink chlorinated water. This is quite alarming.

Some documented issues that stem from over consumption of chlorine include:

Increased risk of cancer;
Destruction of gut health and flora;
Compromises the immune system;
Birth defects; and
Food allergies

Just to name a few. We could ramble on for hours about the possible links to health ailments that may be caused by chlorine consumption, but we’re sure you get the picture. Why continue to ingest a chemical that is proven to be detrimental to human wellbeing? Local governments need to add the chemical to ensure that people don’t get sick from water borne diseases, and chlorinated tap water is fine to drink on occasion. However, sustained consumption of chlorinated water is not beneficial to your health. This is why you should consider investing in a chlorine water filter, and maybe even a chlorine filter for shower.

How does a chlorine removal water filter help?

A chlorine water filter, helps to eliminate the chlorine from the water you’re consuming. This means that you will be consuming notably less chlorine each day. Further, think about how much time you spend in the shower, and then consider that your skin is permeable to the most things that it comes into contact with. Showering in chlorinated water means that you’re not only drinking chlorine, but your absorbing it through your skin. No wonder our bodies don’t like it. This is where a chlorine filter for shower will come in handy.

How Do I Know I Need an Alkaline Water Filter?

Liberty River — Thu, 28 Feb 2019 22:40:59 +0000

If you are on Biopure Water for Life’s website you have probably heard of the many claimed health benefits of drinking alkaline water. The easiest way to consume alkaline water is to purchase and install an alkaline water filter, so that your town water, tank water or bore water can be stripped of contaminates and re-mineralised.

The benefits of an alkaline water filter are immense and may help to alleviate many health concerns. An alkaline water filter system can remove the majority of contaminates and its consumption will help your body to absorb overly acidic chemicals.

Why Drink Alkaline Water?

Alkaline water has many health benefits, and although not all of them are scientifically proven (yet), Biopure believe that using an alkaline water filter system really can contribute towards a greater sense of wellbeing. Drinking water daily is vital to retain optimal health. Drinking water that is free from chemicals and is alkaline helps to improve health, rather than just maintain it. Research indicates our physiologies function optimally when we are neither too acidic or too alkaline.

Unfortunately, with today’s busy, stressful lifestyle, unbalanced diet, lack of exercise and environmental pollutants we tend to be more acidic. Drinking alkaline water may help the body develop an optimal pH balance. Alkaline water is essential for proper circulation as well as flushing toxins from our system. It also regulates the body’s cooling system more efficiently and helps carry oxygen through the body.

The key health benefits you may gain from using an alkaline water filter system are:

1- Reduction in acidity

An alkaline water filter system can help to reduce the acidity levels in your body by absorbing and helping to balance the acidity consumed in everyday western foods.

2- Improve concentration and focus

The prolonged consumption of chlorinated water is shown to reduce IQ levels, especially in developing children. Biopure’s alkaline water filters help to remove these harmful contaminates.

3 – Reduce aches and pains

Ensuring that you are consuming adequate amounts of fresh, pure, alkaline water can reduce the level of aches and pains you feel within your body that are unrelated to injury. This is due to increased concentration of hydrogen ions that allow greater absorption by the body and more rapid energisation.
