I just stumbled on this great 15 minute video by Dr Mercola about water sources and how you can make whatever water safe for drinking, and bathing, etc. He does a great job explaining just about all aspects of it and goes into a lot of detail of what types of water-filtration systems you want, and the preferred water sources. He talks about whole-house water filters and even shower filters. Apparently (I didn’t know this) taking a 10-minute shower releases enough VOCs from municipal water that it is equivalent to drinking a gallon of the water!
So anyway, I highly recommend checking out the video if you are concerned about how to improve the safety of your drinking water…
