Is Using a Water Filter Really Beneficial?Many individuals think that using a water filter is just some kind of new fad and that they are not really worth much, but try telling that to someone who hates the taste of tap water but loves drinking that same water once it has been filtered.

Many municipalities, even in first world countries, still use old infrastructure through which they pipe their water to users, and this can result in the drinking water becoming contaminated with heavy metals or other contaminants which could cause cancer or other diseases.

There are thus many benefits to using a good water filter, including:

Filtered water tastes and smells better than tap water;

  • Many contaminants in drinking water cause skin rashes or irritations – a water filter can help reduce the contaminants that cause these problems;
  • A water filter will remove the chlorine and other toxins that weaken finger and toenails – this means that  you will have healthy strong nails;
  • chlorine also makes your skin dry and dull-looking so removing it from the water will make your skin glow;
  • Drinking filtered water is healthier for those with impaired immune systems from cancer or HIV;
  • Drinking filtered water is better for children as it will help them develop a strong immune system;
  • Showering in or washing your hair in filtered water is good because it makes your skin glow and your hair softer and shinier, which automatically makes you look healthier;
  • There are in excess of 2100 toxins that can be found in drinking water, and water filters can remove them all;
  • Drinking filtered water will reduce the risk of colon cancer, rectal cancer and bladder cancer by removing the chlorine used to disinfect the water and all of the chlorine by-products which are carcinogenic;
  • Water filters can remove giardia and cryptosporidium from drinking water, thereby reducing the risk of contracting a water-borne disease by in excess of 30%

Using a water cooler with a water filter is the ultimate in drinking water, as it gives you pure drinking water that not only smells and tastes good but is chilled as well.
