Countertop Water Filters and Your Cooking Needs


Most of us are aware that tap water isn’t clean. In fact, an Environmental Working Group recently found 315 pollutants in the tap water Americans drink. This is unacceptable but you need to consider using your own countertop water filters.

There are so many contaminants in your water such as lead, mercury, bacteria, pesticides, herbicides and more. This is stuff you don’t want in your body or else it could cause serious health issues in the near and distant future.

You are reading this because you are concerned for your health and your family’s health. Good for you! I want to make you aware of other areas where you will need filtered water. Let’s stay in the kitchen for a moment and think of what you use water for. You use water to wash dishes, cook and fill ice trays. Those are a few I can think of.

It’s best to use countertop water filters for cooking which you do almost every day. It doesn’t matter if you boil some of the water. Many of those contaminants will still be there. When you need a cup of water you will be so tempted to get it from the tap. Don’t do it!

Everybody has ice cubes in their freezer whether it’s an automatic ice machine or the old cube trays. My family uses the trays because we know exactly where the water came from. You see, even most refrigerator filter systems don’t filter out many of the toxins listed above.

How about water for your pets? It’s almost automatic to place the water bowl under the tap. Do them a favor and give them clean pure water.

Countertop water filters are affordable and easy to maintain. Find a quality one where you only have to change the filters every 10-12 months. The cheap ones at the store don’t filter out hardly anything and you have to change the filters every two months.

My years of experience with water filtration will help you with the challenge of finding and using the best portable water purifiers around. Articles such as the one you just read will inform and motivate you to a better understanding of how to best provide safe water for your family.
