PURE WATER

WHAT IS PURE SOFT WATER?
With the exception of pure air, there is no other element of nature that is as important in sustaining life as pure soft water. The chemical composition of pure soft water is represented by the chemical formula H20, which means that it is composed of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. Both are odorless, colorless, tasteless and transparent. Where can one find pure soft water today in our chemicalized society? Municipal water supplies have been found to contain over 700 different chemicals, yet federal laws require testing for only 16 of these. Recent research now indicates that chlorine, which is used by municipal water supplies to kill bacteria, is much more dangerous to human health than was originally assumed. It has been shown to be a significant contributing factor in certain types of cancer and heart disease. In 1987, a major study by the National Cancer Institute concluded that the risk of developing bladder cancer rose with increased intake of beverages made with chlorinated surface water - which is what comes out of the tap in about half the households in the U. S. (1) Bladder cancer primarily affects the elderly and is the fifth most common cause of cancer in the U. S. The incidence of bladder cancer increased by more than 50% since 1950.. True, properly chlorinated water kills most germs and viruses, but it also kills many cells in our bodies. If you drink chlorinated water it is best to let the water sit a few minutes after getting it from the faucet, as chlorine evaporates from the water once it is exposed to the air.

DISTILLED WATER IS PURE SOFT WATER
Distilled water is water which has been heated and turned into vapor, so that virtually all its impurities are left behind, since they are incapable of turning into a vapor. Then the water vapors are cooled down leaving you distilled water. Distilled water has no taste, color, odor, bacteria, heavy metals, acids, inorganic minerals, toxic chemicals, poisons, etc. Rain water is also distilled water, but it becomes polluted as it falls through the sky; so distilled water is the purest water available. A simple experiment to try at home is to boil a pan of tap water. Let it boil until all the water has turned to vapor. What is left in the bottom of the pan? White chalky mineral deposits. The harder the water, the more minerals it will contain; and the fewer the minerals the softer the water. Distilled water has no minerals, so it is the softest water possible. The only other kind of filter unit which is good as a distiller and provides pure soft water and is more economical to operate then a distiller is a Reverse Osmosis filter unit.
